GTD's quality of events is thriving. Our impact is multiplying. Our outreach is expanding. Our locations are spreading. Our programs are advancing. Our 20 years of God-awesome work is not finished... it's just amping up!
You don't have to look far to see the need. Society is unraveling. Many youths are suffering. Many families are deteriorating. A lot of dads and husbands are bailing. A lot of moms and wives are overwhelmed. But we are not in despair. We believe that God has created this ministry "for such a time as this". (Esther 4:14)
Don't underestimate what God can do in a family, or in a relationship, or in an individual's life when HE has their undivided attention while surrounding them with HIS amazing creation and pushing them slightly (or drastically) outside of their comfort zone. We see it year-in and year-out. God revives, redirects, and changes lives.
(One encouraging example of this life change can be seen in a recent blog by one of our young backpacking participants.)
The great news is that God is using GTD to make a big difference in people's lives. And just because we are celebrating 20 years of ministry is not a reason for us to kick back and relax. On the contrary, God has much more work for us to do and many more lives to impact.
That is why we have set a 6 figure year-end goal of raising $100,000! It's what we need to further our mission.
We are asking up to 100 Champion Donors to take the "Thousand Dollar Challenge" and help launch GTD into 2017... and beyond!
Whether it's through a monthly pledge of $85/month for 12 months or a one-time donation of $1000 (or a combination of both, such as a $250 one-time donation along with a $65/month pledge for 12 months) you can play a decisive role in making an eternal impact in countless lives as we "press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Jesus Christ." (Philippians 3:14).
Be one of the first of up to 100 Champion Donors to catapult GTD into our next 20 years of impact! As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization this is part of our end-of-the-year Annual Fund Raising Banquet scheduled for Dec 6, 2016 in Largo, FL.

(We use the phrase "up to 100 Champion Donors" because we realize some donors will adopt 2 or more of these thousand dollar goals. We also want to thank "Mission Increase Foundation" and "100 Shares Tampa Bay" for their God-breathed inspiration to our ministry. These are 2 phenomenal Christian organizations!)
