Dear Pastors,

In the GIBF, we believe that fellowship is necessary for encouragement, bearing one another’s burdens, and for strengthening our shared beliefs and values. Many attendees would attest to this helpful dynamic.
However, church planters are often unable to attend the national meetings due to financial constraints. These individuals and their families could well be the ones who need fellowship the most.

To address this need, we would like to raise $45,000 to give $1,500 each to 30 church planters that have started a church within the last 5-10 years. This would help to cover their hotel and travel expenses for the next meeting at Westgate Baptist Church in Tampa, FL on February 17-19, 2025. We really believe this could be a shot in the arm for both the church planter and the GIBF. Would you be willing to give toward this offering? Anything over the goal will either be used to invite additional church planters to the Tampa meeting or used toward sponsorships for the next national meeting at Southwest Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, OK.

We are excited to partner with the HBBC Alumni Association in this endeavor. If you wish to contribute, click on the button. All gifts will be sent through the Alumni Association and given to the first 30 church planters that register. Support checks will be issued to participating church planters on-site in Tampa.  

Let’s partner together to help strengthen the morale of our church planters!

Sincerely,

Billy Ingram
