At Waiting for Baby Bird Ministries, we are PASSIONATE about giving those facing infertility and loss opportunities to join in-person support groups and events. Our mission at these gatherings is to empower you with hope for the impossible while allowing Jesus to minister to your heart and physical body. After all, 2/3 of Jesus’ miracles in the New Testament happened in His meetings; therefore, we believe the same will happen today. It is written in Matthew 18:20, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I (Jesus) am there…”
Sweet friend, come if you want to be empowered with hope and experience a touch from Jesus. You won’t leave the same. No one who has come has gone unchanged.
Food is ALWAYS served at our events, and EVERYONE is welcome to attend. So, bring your cousin, auntie, co-worker, or best friend for support. We only ask that you leave your hubby at home for our monthly in-person encouragement gatherings.
** Due to the nature of the circumstances of most of the women in attendance and to be sensitive to their hurting hearts, we ask that no children be present at any of our events.

HILLBILLY BINGO FERTILITY GRANT OPPORTUNITY
When: October 18th, 2025 at 4 pm CST
Where: 201 North Walnut Street, Carmi, IL 62821 (Doors of Hope)
For two years, we had a blast GIFTing away thousands of dollars through our totally rad 80s nights—first with BUNCO, then with Trivia! Those evenings weren’t just about big hair and neon—they helped couples pursue fertility treatments, cover supplements, and even pay adoption costs.
Then last year, we switched gears and threw a honky-tonk hootenanny with HILLBILLY BINGO. And guess what? It was a hit! Not only did we have an unforgettable night of laughter and fun, but many of those couples used their winnings to grow their families through adoption or conception.
It was so good, we just knew—we have to do it again!
How much money are we giving away?
We’re giving away $5,000 in fertility grant money during 10–14 rounds of BINGO! 🎉 Some rounds will award $100, while others will jump to $1,000 or more. And that’s not all—there’s also over $1,000 in giveaways and door prizes waiting to be won!
Can I bring my friends and family not going through infertility and have them play BINGO to win on my behalf?
Absolutely! We encourage anyone needing financial help—whether to grow their family, cover supplements, or pay off fertility debt—to bring friends and family along to help them win. The more support, the better! We just ask that you limit your group to no more than four guests if you’re coming with a spouse, or five if you’re coming alone.
What if I don’t need the money? Can I come and play for a friend or family member who isn’t in attendance? (For example, a Daughter going through infertility doesn’t live close, but her mom and dad want to play on her behalf.)
Yes! Dress up in your hillbilly best, and help your friend or family member win! (We do encourage your friend or family member to come if they are able. There is so much love and support at these events.)
How many rounds of BINGO will we play?
We aim to play 20+ rounds of BINGO, with prizes ranging from $100 to $1000 each. By the night’s end, we will have given away $5K in fertility grant money and over $1000 in giveaways aimed to make you smile and boost your hope for the impossible.
