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 three
retreats over the span of 5 months - with each retreat being
2-nights/3-days. 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 every two weeks - 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
provide our cohort offerings like P23 as a grace to each
participant (no-cost) - as a tanglible manifestation of God's
gracious and extravagant love. 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.
