Give
Fund the training of a Balkan pastor.
Every dollar is aimed at one outcome: a qualified national pastor, supported by his own congregation, in a city that needs healthy churches.
Make a gift
Give once, or partner monthly.
Monthly partners are the backbone of this work. Internship stipends run on a yearly commitment, and books arrive on a monthly rhythm — steady giving lets BGP promise a Balkan brother a full year of training rather than a hopeful start.

Phase one — immediate goals
Where your giving goes.
Pastoral internship implementation across three partnering churches — two in Montenegro, one in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Books and translated resources
Ninety-six books covering the first six months of the program. Fifteen Balkan pastors, interns and lay leaders receive translated 9Marks titles — Church Membership, Expositional Preaching, Gospel, Discipling, The Path to Being a Pastor and Church Elders.
Internship stipends
One year of monthly stipends for five Balkan brothers participating in internships. The stipend strengthens commitment to local church investment, service, and accountability for engaging the books and resources.
Internship orientation trip
Travel to Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia to deliver resources and provide orientation for the internships in person.
TGC pastoral intensive
Three spots at a pastoral intensive in Cambridge, UK, led by TGC's International Director — one participant from each partnering church. BGP covers visa applications and airfare.
Phase One total
Phase two — 2027–28
Mid- and long-term goals.
Opportunities already on the table, waiting on partners.
9Marks International Intensive
Four spots offered for Balkan pastors and interns to attend the 2027 intensive in Washington, DC.
Nine-day immersive event is free for participants; airfare + visa costs are not.
Book translation and publishing
Support for 9Marks publishing in Montenegro, and translation of pastoral ministry titles into Balkan languages.
Preaching seminar and workshop
A two- to three-day expositional preaching seminar for Balkan pastors and interns, taught by a Christ-Centered & Clear and/or Pillar pastor.
Missionary support
Portuguese-language preparatory resources and eventual financial support for a Brazilian family desiring to serve the church in Bosnia.
Responsible funding
A giving plan that includes its own ending.
External support is needed to begin gospel-centered activity in unreached places, but caution must be exercised to avoid foreign financial dependence. Foreign money can quietly become the thing a church is built on — BGP has seen that happen in the region.
So every BGP giving plan includes ceasing funding: strategically assisting local pastors and churches toward self-supported ministry. Success is the day a Balkan congregation raises and supports its own pastor and BGP is no longer needed there.
