23 Project Foundation - Funding Grants for Church Plants and Pastoral Sabbaticals 23 Project Church Plant & Pastoral Sabbatical Grants The Church needs pastors who can fulfill God's Mission and flourish while doing it.

Financial pressure, emotional isolation, and the heavy cost of leading without support don't discriminate by season.

It doesn't have to be this way. We Come Alongside Pastors and Their Families We invest deeply and intentionally in our partnerships because we believe long-term fruitfulness is produced where trust, presence, and mutual commitment are given time and space to grow. Prayer is the work.

Our prayer team lifts up every partner family by name each month — faithfully, consistently, and with expectant hearts.
