BBQ Lunch By “God, Guns And Grub”

The Bakersfield Pregnancy Center is excited to present our fall fundraiser, “Aiming for Great Fatherhood!” It’s a fun, family-friendly event for all ages!

Each participant is encouraged to either join a team or form their own (of 4 clay shooters, and an unlimited number of team members who are non-shooters).

For every $100 each participant raises from sponsors before the event, their team earns one Target Hit! The team with the most target hits (either earned by fundraising or by scoring a hit during the clay shoot) will be the “Top Gun” Champions! The Championship Team will receive awards including championship ball caps and a team trophy.

The clay shoot will be filled by a BBQ lunch, open to the public! Lunch is open to both participants and non-participants. So invite your friends to come to watch the competition and then stay for a delicious lunch!

Lunch will be served to attendees once they have finished shooting. The winning individuals and team will be announced at lunch and a count of funds raise. We will also have a Live Dessert Auction, with bidding starting at $1 per dessert. All proceeds benefit the Bakersfield Pregnancy Center. *Additional guest is $15 each.

Rules For Game Are As Follows:

Each team needs 4 clay shooters. Each clay shooter team must complete the whole course. Non-shooting team members are only asked to raise funds for their team and must have all money collected and turned in before the clay shoot begins. No additional funds can be raised by a team once the clay shoot begins. Ammo is available for sale at the site. Any unused ammo must be left at the clay shoot premise. Team with most hits wins!

Ulises was called to ministry at the age of 21, since that he has served the Lord in different areas. He is passionate to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with people. Discipleship is and always has been a pillar in his ministry, because helping new believers to grow and strengthen them is the base of the church’s growth. Sharing the Gospel is not a ministry but a life style. Him and his wife are currently BBFI and TXBBF Church Planters. Since 2016, Ulises has served as the pastor of Iglesia Ebenezer in Denton, Texas.

Ulises, Claudia, and their children (David and Sara) are originally from Saltillo, (Coahuila), Mexico, but now they make their home in the Lone Star State as BBFI Church Planters from Mexico to the Spanish speaking people of the United States of America. Midway Baptist Church of Pilot Point, Texas, is their home and sending church.

Make plans to join us and show our appreciation for the Longoria family!
