Bring Them In. Celebrating 50 years of ministry. Still bringing kids and families to Christ!

The only way our 50th BTI Reunion & Conference could have been any better would be if you had been there!

Friends from eight states gathered to celebrate 50 years of Dr. Larry Hipps’ leadership in Bring Them In Ministries—thanking God for His faithfulness and looking ahead to the future.

What a wonderful two days of worship, fellowship, and memories!

The reunion honored Dr. Larry Hipps’ 50 years as president of Bring Them In Ministries and the impact of thousands of children’s ministry workers trained through BTI events and resources over the decades.

We are deeply grateful to Salem Baptist Church of Dalton, Georgia, our outstanding host, and to our guest speakers and friends who made the meeting so special.

Wick Brandon – original editor (1971)
S. Ray Sadler – expanded BTI into a magazine (1972)
Joe R. Sadler – continued the work after Ray’s passing
Larry Hipps – president since 1975

From a simple four-page newsletter to a global training ministry, BTI has:

Trained thousands of Children’s Ministry workers
Partnered with hundreds of churches in the U.S. and abroad
Provided sound, Bible-based resources for teachers and volunteers

Dr. Hipps shared his vision for the gathering:

“I wanted this meeting to honor the past and inspire faithfulness for the future. Commitment and knowing God’s call lead to long-term ministry—and God blessed our efforts.”

Yours in His Certain Victory,
Larry Hipps
