P23 is an all-women’s cohort offering designed exclusively for pastor’s wives and women in ministry.
Why a cohort for pastors' wives and women in ministry?
Despite a growing number of ministries focused on the
well-being of pastors and ministry leaders, there are two groups
of leaders in the Church who are still under-resourced and
underserved: pastors' wives and women in ministry.
After our experience of offering two cohorts in 2024, we came
away with a growing conviction that Asian American pastors' wives
and women in ministry needed a space of their own. This led
us to create P23 - an all-women’s cohort designed to help women
leaders experience the heart of our good shepherd - Jesus Christ
- through the movements found in Psalm 23.
The P23 cohort consists of five retreats over the span of 5
months - with the first and last retreat being overnight. Each
retreat offers participants a sacred, slowed-down space to
nourish their souls and become more enlivened with God. Between
these retreats, participants meet online in small groups to
engage in meaningful conversation, share experiences around
prayer and other reflective exercises, and connect more deeply
with other women on a similar journey.
At Barnabas & Co., we aim to offer our cohort experiences at
a very minimal cost to participants. For our 2025 P23 cohort, we
are seeking to raise $55,000 to make this possible. Please
consider partnering with us as we seek to resource Asian American
pastors' wives and women in ministry towards flourishing and
renewal in Christ.
