Our mission is to support pastors and aid in the growth of Baptist, gospel-teaching churches in the Midwest and Mountain states.
The churches in our far Midwest and Mountain States are far-flung, and pastors are often under-supported. They feel isolated and alone, and spread thin. There are many towns and small cities with no Bible-preaching church at all. Many of these pastors are becoming discouraged and giving up on their work.
Since 2022, we have raised over $50,000 to help these struggling churches with their needs. Currently we take multiple trips a year to preach, train pastors, participate in door-knocking, and anything else that would bless these pastors and their congregations. We also help with church planting, so that more communities in these regions have access to the gospel.
It all started with a vacation to see a rodeo in Wyoming.
There I met people that began to tell me and show me the lack of Bible-preaching churches in Wyoming and the rest of the western states.
My heart was broken, and over the next year we made a few trips to help some of the people I had met. Multiple pastors told us of their needs, and this is when the Lord laid on my heart that my many previous years of pastoral experience could be used to support and encourage these good men in their works.
And so: Barzillai Baptist Ministries
was born.
