Partner with BGP
Pray. Give. Go.
Three ways to join a work that is measured in decades, not campaigns.
One
Pray
Pray for the strengthening of churches and the raising up of faithful leaders across the Balkans. This is the request BGP makes first, and the one that sustains the most over time.
Pray specifically for:
- Balkan brothers in pastoral internships — for perseverance in study and faithfulness at home.
- The small congregations carrying these men, often with very few members and fewer resources.
- Cities with no evangelical witness at all — Kakanj among them.
- Wisdom for BGP in funding well, and in knowing when to step back.
Two
Give
Financial partners help provide pastoral training, church planting support and missionary assistance. Giving is structured around a plan that ends — support designed to lead toward locally sustained churches rather than permanent dependence.
A gift funds translated books, monthly internship stipends, preaching seminars, airfare for international intensives, and the field visits that keep the partnership honest.
Three
Go
Opportunities exist for vision trips and church partnerships with Balkan ministries. BGP desires that individuals and churches grow in awareness of this obscure unreached region — and the surest way is to stand in it.
Vision trips are offered to financial partners, alongside involvement in training shaped to the contextual needs of the churches being visited.
For US partner churches
Three ways a congregation can carry part of this.
Church-to-church partnership goes further than a line item. These are the forms it can take.
Short-term teams
Summer trips that build awareness of Balkan gospel need while strengthening the local church hosting you. Bosnia offers ample opportunity — VBS, camps, building projects and more.
Pastoral mentorship
Experienced pastors walking with new Balkan pastors through the first years — the season where practical guidance is needed most.
Tailored training
Training built around a church's current season and growth needs: pastoral member care, deacon implementation, church discipleship culture.
Our prayer
To see healthy, self-sustaining churches reproducing throughout the Balkans, led by trained national pastors who faithfully proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
