Thank you for your interest in helping to support The Gospel Man Fellowship and Conferences. The gMan conference was started when Harvey Kirkpatrick was on staff at his PCA church in Watkinsville, GA (Athens, GA area) in March 2008 which was attended by almost 400 men from 35 churches and 8 states in Atlanta, GA. An engaging start it was.
Since March 2008, we have had two spring conferences in Atlanta and Orlando in 2009 and 2010. Four spring conferences are currently being planned in 2011. We now also offer to bring a smaller conference to your church called "Grace & Men To You!" with partner Gary Yagel. See here. |

After prayer and reflection, Harvey is now pursuing The Gospel Man Fellowship full-time. Though these are extraordinarily difficult financial times, we trust that God's work will have His provision for the building of His kingdom. So Harvey and his wife Karen are raising support from individuals like you to meet their monthly obligations. Here are our support needs to date: 1) We have about 12% of our $5250/month committed. We are asking for between 175-200 individuals and/or families to help us at $30 per month. (One could of course give less or more.) 2) $1400 of our needed $6000 one-time gifts for 2009 for transition, administration, & conference promotions has been donated. 3) We are also asking for prayer and gifts for: a) $1700 for an iMac to do video-editing; we have the software. Thank you Lord: This was provided in spring 2010. b) $1600 for mailing costs to send ministry literature to 1600 churches. We have begun the process of forming a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, but our understanding is that we must be approved as such before your gift is tax-deductible. So your gifts are not tax-deductible at this time. The approval process can take up to 12 months, and we look forward to having that benefit in the year ahead. If you send a check by mail, (See our address below.) we will send a receipt by mail back with an envelope for your use. You can donate online by using the PayPal button at the bottom or top of the page. If you request it, we can also set up a PayPal auto pay each month as well where your donation would be automatically placed to a credit or debit card (until you specified that deduction to stop of course.). If you have any questions, you can contact us by email or by our toll-free voice mail number, 888-548-5188. |
