Stepping Out in Faith: The Launch of The FORE! Ministry

For the first time in our lives, our family is stepping completely out on faith to build a ministry from the ground up, entirely independent of any existing organization. We are launching The FORE! Golf Ministry, a brand-new 501(c)(3) dedicated to uniting golfers of all generations, sharing the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ, and equipping them to live, play, and lead with eternal purpose. God has called me, Tom Parker, to serve as the Executive Director to lead this mission. My wife, Anna, and I are deeply rooted in this community with our five children—including students at UF, Murdock, and Imagine—and we are fully surrendering to this local calling to bring the ultimate hope of Jesus to the golf courses, middle/high school teams, and athletic programs around us.

Our ministry uses the game of golf to deliver a powerful spiritual roadmap through our F.O.R.E. acronym: FAITH, OUTREACH, RELATIONSHIPS, and ETERNITY. Grounded in Hebrews 12:1, we are teaching athletes and coaches alike to throw off the weights that hinder them and "run with perseverance the race marked out for us." From youth development clinics and high school coach partnerships to outreach tournaments and banquet dinners with PGA players, we are building a multi-generational community that meets people right on the fairway and points them directly to the cross.

To make this vision a reality and support the Parker family as we pioneer this new God Journey, we are seeking to raise $50,000 in foundational seed funding. Your financial partnership will directly fund our initial community outreach, supply subsidized golf gear, help me obtain my PGA credentials, and establish the operational baseline needed to launch this independent ministry effectively. We invite you to prayerfully consider giving generously to help us hit this target. Join us on the ground floor, step out in faith alongside us, and watch the Lord work miracles as we see "WHERE FAITH MEETS FAIRWAY."

ALL GIFTS TOTALING OVER $1,800 THIS YEAR WILL RECEIVE OUR NEW FORE! GOLF MINISTRY HAT ONCE WE REACH THE $20,000 SEED MONEY MILESTONE.
