We want to express our deep gratitude for the service of our brothers John Urbanic and Don Mierendorf, who recently left the Barnabas Board. Both will be greatly missed.

John, despite his busy professional and personal schedule, has been serving as our financial officer since March of 2017. He has been diligent in keeping our books, sending money wires, and taking care of all our financial and tax matters. We greatly appreciate his professionalism and years of service.

Don has been associated with the Barnabas Almsgiving Fund since 2017, when he was our first finance manager. Later he took on an advisory role, bringing tremendous experience and common sense to the Barnabas Board. We’ve appreciated his support, ideas, and recommendations throughout the years.

We take this opportunity to thank all former Board members for their contributions of time and talent. You have together contributed greatly to this mission.
