Serving as Hope Channel’s director of fundraising is a unique fulfillment of years of preparation. Looking back, I am amazed at how God placed me exactly where I had to be to gather skills needed for where I am now.

I studied broadcasting in college, but sadly never had an opportunity to use those skills and knowledge. Fundraising is a field I fell into—and not one I chose. In hindsight, that was God’s plan! It began with a paid internship offer (Can a young man fresh out of college say no to anything with a paycheck?). The internship awoke in me an unexpected interest in philanthropy which led to 17 years of working with various non- profit organizations. Today, I can’t Chris, a Boston native, is active in his local church. He is part of the praise team and also see myself in any other career.

Fundraising is more about accomplishing goals and providing opportunities to give back than it is about simply asking for money. And I love giving the donors with whom I work a sense of purpose.

Hope Channel is uniquely placed to reach people around the world where many traditional ministries are often ineffective. The work that I do in the Silver Spring, Maryland office has impact across the globe—such as working with a donor to fund a new Hope Channel studio in Southeast Asia.

When I hear a story of how a viewer’s life was changed by watching Hope Channel, I am blessed because I see that as a result of the faithfulness of our donors. I am glad to be a part of a team that works together to change the lives of many with the love of Jesus.

Like many, you have probably been watching in dismay as your investments fluctuate wildly and your bank CD rates plummet to less than 1%. There isn’t much security in knowing that your financial future can be tossed around by every market whim.

The good news is that with a charitable gift annuity, you can receive a generous fixed income with payments made to you or your loved ones for life. Not only will you help Hope Channel further the gospel broadcast but you will also receive fixed income for your lifetime.

Now is the time to lock in a generous payout rate based on your age.
