My name is George Cripe. I served as an Independent Baptist pastor for over 50 years. 

I have seen many small churches struggle. With a little help, encouragement, and possibly some financial aid, they could have flourished.  Often, they are in small towns where the demographics have changed. The pastor has to work and it is a constant struggle.  

With a program like Hometown Hope Ministries, a small church often has a head start on a new mission work... as they already have a building and some congregation. 

This program has my full endorsement. My Bible tells me Jesus went through every city and village - Luke 8:1  And verse 4 states "every city." 

I have total confidence in the integrity of Brent Madaris and highly recommend this program as Biblical and financially ethical. 

Please prayerfully consider what assistance the Lord would have you share in this ministry.

Dear Brothers in Christ,

Throughout my travels I have seen many struggling churches and have talked to pastors and missionaries who share with me their knowledge of struggling churches and pastors. Evidently, we have a large need in America for revitalization of churches.

The people in America have turned their focus from Christ to health and wealth; consequently, church attendances and church finances seem to decline. These needy churches need pastor’s that will turn their heart on Christ and promote Christ to those communities. Yet, with the finances unavailable in many of these churches they cannot financially support these pastors to properly fill their spiritual needs.

Christ taught, “seek ye first the kingdom of God.” That in sum is the need in our churches. It takes a person with the focus to seek first the kingdom of God and the vision to reach others in this way. Pastor Brent Madaris preaches to seek first the kingdom of God and practices what he preaches. Praise the LORD that God has prepared, enabled, and burdened him to pioneer a ministry to revitalize these struggling churches in America.

Brother Madaris has organized a well thought out plan to achieve his God given goal. Moving forward with God’s given burden, he sought out godly counsel. It is awesome to see what the LORD has done already in these endeavors. I urge you to hear what God has placed on Pastor Brent’s heart.

God’s Servant,

Daniel Long, Pastor & Missionary

This program will become valuable to all churches searching for  pastors and or needing help in recommending and financing.  All over the US there are churchs closing because they are at a loss what to do. This   program is to help those churches. We highly recommend the program.      

We certainly support your efforts here. What you are doing is a needed thing. God bless you. Les Butler
