What is Operation Barnabas? Operation Barnabas is a three week high school summer ministry training program equipping students to live ON MISSION through evangelism training, character development, and servantleadership. The intense United States-based training and travel equips students to share their faith, perform in music, dance, drama, share their testimonies, be actively engaged in a discipleship group, and serve alongside local churches. Our Own Operation Barnabas 2018 Leaders Max and Margaret Olmedo are from Santa Fe Springs, California and attend Norwalk Grace Brethren Church. Both Max and Margaret are teachers; Max teaches Spanish at Artesia High School and Margaret, kindergarten at Alameda Elementary. Max has lead once before with Margaret, and Margaret, three times before she was married to Max. Margaret also led City Life with her son Cesar. They have four kids (26, 23, 21, and 15) and four grandkids (6, 5, 3, and an arrival in March). Max was introduced to Christ after a pastor took his homeless family into their home and has been active in ministries ever since. He loves playing the guitar (or variations of one), playing and watching soccer, and riding around on his Can Am Spider. Margaret gave her heart to Jesus early, but it was at a BNYC (Brethren National Youth Conference) that she dedicated her life and the following summer she went on OB with TK and Ed Lewis as her leaders. She loves going to Disneyland with her daughter and grandkids, watching British dramas and mysteries, and watching endless swim meets, football games and water polo matches. Max and Maggie met at Bellflower Brethren in the Spanish ministry while leading worship. They both love investing time in young people and are excited to lead again this summer in their neck of the woods.
