Meet the Speaker

“Christianity without Discipleship is always Christianity without Christ” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Pastor Billy Hires and his incredible wife Donna have been faithfully serving the Lord in ministry for over 37 years. From pastoring a thriving church in Tampa, FL for over 35 years, to being involved in short-term missions’ to over 20 countries around the world for the last 10 years. They have dedicated themselves to seeing the lost found, the wounded healed, and church leaders equipped to do the work and will of God. Pastor Billy’s most recent years in ministry have been devoted to missions' conferences centralized on Biblical marriage and Christ-centered discipleship. Though, many of the conferences he hosts are in the Bush country of Africa, they have seen as many as 500 church leaders and pastors come to the conferences to learn and grow together.

Currently, Pastor Billy serves as the head of "A Place of Grace" in North Carolina with his wife Donna. This ministry was formed in 2019 as a much-needed

response to the pastors, missionaries and other kingdom leaders who face burnout like never before. They have created a safe place for those in need of

relief and refreshment in Christ to come and find rest.

Most importantly, Pastor Billy has been gloriously married to his beloved wife Donna for 41 years, and they have 2 incredible sons, who they love with all their hearts.
