5. Would you kindly consider sponsoring one or more banquet tables? Table sponsorships are $300.00 each and while helping to underwrite ABR’s expenses for the banquet, it also provides an opportunity to invite guests. Table sponsors who attend the banquet and bring friends and family help ABR expand our outreach with those who may be unfamiliar with the vision and mission of ABR. It’s a great way to bless your friends and allows ABR to use all donations received at the banquet in the direct support of ABR. Businesses, churches, organizations, and individuals may sponsor tables; would you prayerfully consider a table sponsorship if this is something God would have you do?

Important Note: Table sponsorships pay for your meal, plus 7 guests. Table Sponsors must provide ABR a list of invited guests for table assignment purposes. Maximum 8 persons per table. You may sponsor additional tables if you would like to invite additional guests, or simply purchase individual tickets if an additional table sponsorship is not desired.

6. Church Group Rates of 8 or more people: $30 per person.

7. If you plan to pay for a guest(s), we must have their complete information, including name, address and phone number.

8. You will be served a delicious dinner and dessert, and enjoy a powerful message from Bryan Windle, our keynote speaker.

9. ABR is a non-profit Christian ministry that depends entirely upon the generosity of our ministry partners who support the mission of ABR. We sincerely pray that you will join us for this wonderful event, and will give generously as the Lord directs you. Only a limited number of walk-in seats will be available, so sign up TODAY!
