Operation Barnabas of Des Moines

Operation Barnabas of Des Moines Operation Barnabas of Des Moines is a Christian military support network of care to our nation’s Veterans and their families.

We reach out to all branches of the military, with a special emphasis on our Reserve members and their families. You may ask: “Why is it called Operation Barnabas?” Barnabas was Paul’s companion, who helped him in his missionary journey. His name means “son of encouragement.” We hope to encourage our military and their families with the Gospel in action!

Land of the free, because of the brave. 🇺🇸❤️

We are incredibly grateful for the support of all those who joined Operation Barnabas at Camp Dodge today for the annual Gold Star Museum Memorial Day Breakfast. Thank you to all those who donated towards the Veteran Hospital Coffee Drive.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

With the help of 🇺🇸 Veteran David Stout, over 400 canisters of ground coffee were delivered to the Des Moines Veterans Hospital this past week!

Dave did his best to snap a few pictures of his truck filled to the brim with coffee, but VA staff and volunteers started unloading as soon as he dropped the tailgate! They wanted to get that coffee to Veterans ASAP! ❤️

Special thanks to the following for making this huge coffee donation possible:

⭐️ American Legion Post #661, Liberty Center, IA
⭐️ Simon & April Conway
⭐️ Iowa Friesian Sporthorse Association Inspection
⭐️ Singing Mesa Ranch
⭐️ Thrivent for their generous kick-start grant

Thank you for helping to support and comfort our Veterans! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

“Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they’ve suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us.” - President Ronald Reagan, 1983

Merry Christmas from Operation Barnabas of Des Moines! Despite an unusual year, we still found a way to encourage our Veterans. This past Wednesday we delivered 212 Christmas boxes to the Des Moines Veterans Administration Hospital. These boxes went to current inpatients at the Hospital. Each box contained a custom "Veteran" stainless steel tumbler, devotional books, challenge coin, patriotic lapel pin, and sweets. The Hospital was excited to receive the boxes and immediately went to work on distribution to the Veterans.

Thank you for supporting and encouraging our Veterans!

Thank you to all of our Veterans! We owe an unimaginable debt to each and every one of you - Freedom is not free!
