Barnabas was already known as a great encourager, so when the church in Jerusalem heard about all of the new Gentile believers in Antioch, they sent Barnabas to help. He encouraged the Antioch believers, and even more people followed King Jesus. Then he travelled to Tarsus and found Paul so that Paul could come and help, too. This was a great mission-minded church. Followers of Jesus were first called Christians at this church.
