Fifteen years of dedicated service by Barnabas Vision was celebrated at a recent fundraiser called Pause to Pray, held at MTSU’s Student Union Building. The annual event brings awareness of local needs and shows appreciation to donors with a meal and Christ-centered entertainment.

Barnabas Vision began with a vision by David and Maria Coggin to bring an encouragement ministry to the community that would “love like Jesus and encourage like Barnabas.” The ministry provides spiritual support, financial resources and life skills education to those in need in Middle Tennessee.
