Barnabas Sponsorship
Together, Sponsors and Partners help fulfill our mission to: “Connect Leaders to Advance God’s Kingdom.”
Why Sponsorship Matters
Bay Area business leaders have more influence, resources, and networks than almost anyone on earth. Sponsorship directs that influence toward something eternal.
Your sponsorship doesn't just keep the lights on - it opens doors. It places ministry leaders in the same room as executives who can help solve challenges they've carried for years. It gives marketplace professionals a meaningful on-ramp into Kingdom work. It creates opportunities where business expertise and ministry vision come together to accomplish far more than either could alone.
Sponsorship also creates rich and meaningful connections. It introduces business leaders to inspiring ministries and the incredible Kingdom work taking place right here in the Bay Area and around the world. These relationships often become much more than introductions - they become partnerships, friendships, and opportunities to use God-given gifts, experience, and influence to advance His Kingdom in tangible ways.
Every connection made, every mentoring relationship formed, every ministry strengthened, and every life impacted is possible because people like you choose to invest in this mission.
This is what Barnabas was built for - to bring together business leaders and ministry leaders so that both can flourish and fulfill their God-given calling. Sponsors make that possible.
When you sponsor Barnabas, you're not simply funding an organization. You're helping build a bridge between the marketplace and ministry, creating lasting relationships, expanding Kingdom impact, and supporting transformational work that reaches from the Bay Area to communities around the world.
"Barnabas gave me a community of leaders who take both their faith and their work seriously — and don't see those as two different things. Sponsoring at the Cornerstone level is my way of saying this matters, and I want to help more people find their way into it."
— Joel W. Malakoff, CFP® CEO & Wealth Advisor, Master Wealth | Danville, CA
Joel Malakoff is the CEO and Wealth Advisor at Master Wealth, a Danville-based financial planning firm committed to helping families build legacies of financial excellence. A CFP® with more than two decades at the firm, Joel's work is grounded in a conviction that wealth is a tool for stewardship — not just accumulation. Master Wealth serves a select number of families with comprehensive, generational, and charitable financial planning, believing that when resources are stewarded well, they ripple outward into families, communities, and the world.
Joel and his wife Jackie also co-lead a broader initiative at the historic Podva House in Danville, cultivating an ecosystem where values-aligned businesses and nonprofits work side by side.
As a Cornerstone Sponsor of Barnabas Group Bay Area, Joel's investment reflects what he and Master Wealth have always believed: that the marketplace and the Kingdom aren't separate endeavors — and that the Bay Area needs more leaders willing to act on that.
