Patrick Sookhdeo: How has he survived at Barnabas? – Christian Today November 5, 2015 by Fulcrum Patrick Sookhdeo is widely regarded as an expert on Islam and is the public face of Barnabas Aid International, which supports persecuted Christians worldwide. He has also been convicted of sexual assault and has survived a ferocious legal battle with trustees of Barnabas Fund UK, who came to the conclusion that he was a liability to the charity he founded. While he is capable of inspiring respect and loyalty among his staff and adherents, some have accused him of bullying, intimidation, vindictiveness and paranoia. Mark Woods.
