Harvesting in the ‘Burgh – One Relationship at a Time.
“These men have been used by God in a
transformational way to impact every aspect of my life:
my marriage, family, friendships, and business.” –Bill Krahe
The White Fields Foundation MissionIn 2007, the White Fields Foundation (WFF) was formed through the leadership of Brennan Gaertner working with inner-city youth on the North Side of Pittsburgh.
Our mission is focused on harvesting what God is doing in the city of Pittsburgh. We are building new bridges of reconciliation through cross-cultural relationships in the transformational power of the Gospel.

Our Men’s Ministry in Pittsburgh
In June 2008, WFF launched a Christian men’s ministry in Pittsburgh. Its focus has been to challenge men to deepen their faith commitment through strengthening marriages and families, serving the poor, and living out God’s Word in friendship. Men have embraced the opportunity to mentor at-risk boys throughout Pittsburgh’s North Side neighborhoods through sports programs and other venues. Our leadership team is comprised of John Cullen, Brennan Gaertner, Tunch Ilkin, Bill Krahe, Doug McNelis, Doug Shaffer and Leo Wisniewski. We have developed a full calendar of events that provide opportunities for men to grow more deeply in their faith and love of Jesus Christ.
