LifeWay’s Extra for the lesson, “Barnabas: Encouragement” suggests 8 simple ways to encourage others. It goes on to make the point that Christians have an obligation to encourage others.
Mark Rathel’s lesson commentary picks up on ‘Barnabas’ as a nickname and asks: What nickname would other Christians give you? I’ve used the nickname idea before very successfully (it was suggested by Jeff Meyer at Bayleaf Baptist).
Consider nominating someone for a service award as a means of encouragement. For example, Kenneth and Debra Walker were nominated for and received the Jefferson Award here in Houston. To locate an appropriate award, you may have to scour your local community, or check appropriate organizations and affiliations to which the target person belongs.
