 GARY'S CROWDFUNDING UPDATE!

Hi! This is Gary. Welcome to my Crowdfunding page for raising seed money to launch a new ministry for people who are just like me - Christian & Boomer! 

Learn more below.

With over 40 years in ministry, educated with a BA in Theology and an MA in Communications, I have gratefully been serving the Body of Christ in local churches and para-church ministries - primarily in areas of media & communications. 

Also, I've enjoyed a parallel semi-career path for over 18 years as Prof. Fallon - Adjunct College Professor. I've influenced my students on Interpersonal Communication, Small Group Dynamics, and Public Speech! Even gratefully granted an "Adjunct Professor of the Year" award along the way! 

My most recent position as Director of Marketing at a local bible college was concluded in April of this year. When one door closes, God opens another. As has been my practice over my 40 years of ministry, I'm prayerfully seeking God to guide my next move during transition. He always has!

It started with a 2-3 day fast and personal prayer at a Christian retreat center. Starting there and after that, I'm  asking God, "Do I help another with their ministry or do I sense YOU calling me to begin my own?" I'm praying, researching, reading books, seeking Godly advice, and recalling my ministry path as I go. Since April, 5 months ago, I've been in a seeking mode with many options considered, even interviews with other ministries, but with closed doors elsewhere and no open door offers, I'm convinced of my present course.

Today, I feel a ministry to help me and others on our journey of being a Christian and a Boomer is what God would have next for me! Using all my skill sets, ministry experiences, spiritual gifts, education, and heart desires I am seeing this new calling unfold. Much of this calling began back in 2016 with research - lots of it.                                                            

Baby Boomers are those born between 1946 - 1964. There are 76 million of us. Each DAY there are 10,000 of us turning age 65 - Yes - each DAY! And as we do, we meet new challenges as we walk through this journey. Challenges of retirement, time management, finances, aging parents, adult children, grandchildren, health, spirituality, lifestyle changes, volunteering options, self-discovery, and traveling choices just to name a few! As Christians, our journey is even more distinct as seen in our biblical values to our God-centered priorities. New questions having better answers will benefit each Christian Boomer. 

ChristianBoomers.com will be Distinctly Christian and Uniquely Boomer in all that we create, provide, and aim for - knowing God will be glorified and believers impacted. Do you find yourself needing expert advice, with a Christian perspective on taking care of your aging parents right now or where they should go, if needed, and how to best handle their estate & financial affairs? Our experts and authors are curated and available for you to benefit from!

Your health, time management, and family relationships are off balance and you need some expert advice - from a Christian perspective - which we have waiting for you since we did the hard work of finding those best-of articles, podcasts, and webinars from our lengthy in-depth research including Google searches just for you. 

What if once a month you could pop into a live members-only Zoom with other Christian Boomers discussing really detailed relevant problems & solutions they themselves can share about since being on their journey as a Boomer? That kind of unique experience is waiting for you! We'll capture other member stories, through articles and as webinar guests, that are to the point, relevant, and practical. Learn from the successes & failures of others - that's what you want and find in our vibrant community.

ChristianBoomers.com will be easy & simple to use. As a Membership-Only, Digital Media-Based Community each will discover how best to maneuver one's distinctly unique present and future journey from curated articles, best-of interviews in podcasts, webinars, and print, relevant statistics with stunning charts & graphs to monthly interactive newsletters and member-only access website.

Boomers love innovation and trendsetting for practical, relevant information and community that's life-directive, life-changing, and worth sharing with others. So your seed money investment will help make this happen! It will help me find and create relevant content for a January 2024 launch, just four months from now.

I am dedicating myself to launching this new ministry of ChristianBoomers.com, but I can't do it by myself. Your donations will make it possible to have 4 more months for research and development - making a January 2024 launch possible.

I'm raising seed money between September - December 2023. Please consider joining others who want to help me MONTHLY for 4 months at $25 - $50 - $100 (or more). One-time-only donations are also accepted but hope to equal 4 months (or more). 

Cancel any time. You will automatically be canceled on January 1st, 2024 since this Crowdfunding campaign is only for the last 4 months of 2023.

This Crowdfunding is not promoted to the PUBLIC - but ONLY to my personal FRIENDS and FAMILY - those who received my personal LINK invitation. The reason for this is the PUBLIC does not know me and until the completed website is public and promoted in January 2024, they really would not be interested in funding an unknown Gary or his start-up. 

I am seeking 50 friends who will donate-invest in the start-up cost of this ministry. 

10 @ $100/mo for 4-months

20 @ $50/mo for 4-months

20 @ $25/mo for 4-months

Total of $10,000 donation-investment during September - December 2023

This will provide me with $2,500 monthly for the next four months.

One-time-only donations are also accepted but hope to equal 4 months (or more). 

There is no tax-deduction benefit - you are simply donating to me and my start-up, however, if you own a business, and want to, I will promote your company on our website Sponsorship page starting in January 2024. That way, you could qualify your donation as an advertising business expense deduction.

As it is created and grows you will be a witness to it all. I'm deeply grateful!         -Gary

Note: Any overage of the $10,000 goal will thankfully roll over into 2024 expenses.  If needed, a second-final round of support for operational expenses Jan - April 2024 will be prayed about. But right now, I'm only focused on the next 4-months. Sept-Dec. 2023. 

Gary & Kathy - Asheville Mountains 2023

Thanks again! -Gary

Our passions are ignited when we set out to advance a cause greater than ourselves.

It doesn't matter when we start. It doesn't matter where we start. All that matters is that we start. 

Asking for help is an act of service. Don't deny the people who love you the honor of being there to support you.
