Become a monthly donor and join our W.I.S.H. Team in honor of Joe Wakham! Joe Wakham was the leader of the original W.I.S.H. Team, also known as the Wakham family (his wife Anna, and kids Chloe, Clark, and Cole). Joe modeled what hard work looks like and strived to point everyone around him to the Lord. Joe loved his community and served on the board as the original Treasurer of The Barnabas Vision. He has always been and continues to be a huge inspiration to our ministry. Those who join The Barnabas Vision W.I.S.H. Team are not only the fuel in our engine, but are dear friends to The Barnabas Vision, just as Joe was.
