DISCLAIMER: this information is on our website because some people actually come here looking for it. Other people get horribly offended at the mention of money and donations online. If you\u2019re not of the former, chill. Just filter out this message and look at some of the more entertaining stuff<\/a> on this site.<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019re still here? Good. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Sometimes people are more interested in making one-time donations than in becoming a monthly partner<\/a> (and sometimes monthly partners want to make a special gift).<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s you, then here are some needs that we have in our ministry.<\/p>\n

Expensive Items<\/h2>\n

$10,000,000 to establish a ministry center near Stanford.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, it really would cost at least that much. We\u2019d be looking at purchasing an existing religious center or a business propert adjacent to campus and then remodeling it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Failing that, $1,000,000 to purchase a home near Stanford.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, it really would cost that much. We\u2019re currently renting about five minutes from Stanford and there\u2019s a home across the street on the market for $1.1 million. And it\u2019s not a really nice house\u2013housing prices are just ridiculous here. This matters because the nature of our ministry is relational, and so we have students over all the time. If we had a home within 15 minutes of Stanford we\u2019d be better stewards of God\u2019s money (not spending it on rent) and we\u2019d be able to up the quality of our ministry to students radically. We\u2019d have more students over more often and accomplish more in the way of discipleship and modeling. Plus, we\u2019d be able to host other ministers in our house for a week or two at a time and expose the students to them and their ministries, thereby increasing the likelihood that students would \u201cget it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Midrange Items<\/h2>\n

$6,000 to set up a multimedia studio. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This would cover a digital video camera, a dedicated computer for video-editing, and the software necessary to do high-quality videos. With such a studio, we could create high-quality training videos for college ministries across America. We could also do some neat stuff in our large-group meetings at Stanford.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

$500 for a smartphone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This would help Glen be more organized\u2013and he needs all the help he can get!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Inexpensive Items<\/h2>\n

Anything from Glen\u2019s Amazon Wishlist<\/a> or Delicious Wishlist<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are almost all books or other resources useful for ministry. Of course, some are just random.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you would like to purchase any of the above items, either give online<\/a> or just send a check for the amount needed to
