Because e get good heart, the apostles give-am another name—Barnabas, wey mean “Person Wey De Encourage People.” (Acts 4:36) Barnabas de quick help im brothers and sisters anytime wey them need help.
For Pentecost 33 C.E., 3,000 new disciples baptize. E fit be say many of this people travel come Jerusalem for the festival and them no plan to stay for long time reach as them come later stay. The congregation need money and things to take care of all this people. So, Barnabas sell land and because e get open hand, e bring the money come give the apostles as contribution.—Acts 4:32-37.
