The GP movement was launched with one big dream: to raise up a generation of Gospel Patrons. Throughout history, Jesus has worked powerfully through the faith-filled generosity of a few. What might he do in our day through a generation of people ready to generously support leaders who build the church, bless the world, and fulfill the Great Commission? We want to find out!

In 2010, John and Renée took a big step of faith to write a book called Gospel Patrons. Their vision was to inspire a generation of business and professional people to fulfill their God-given callings. When the book launched, it was clear God was blessing and multiplying this message to reach thousands of people in countries all around the world. It was not long before the book grew into a ministry and now the ministry has become a movement.

Since 2015, they’ve been telling stories, speaking at conferences, and creating books, films, and online resources all with the desire to lift up the name of Jesus and build up a generation of Gospel Patrons.
