CFU Fundraising 2023 October
By Rick Lyon
PEER TO PEER CROWDFUNDING
Our new Peer to Peer fundraising project is a crowdfunding opportunity that gives you the chance to multiply your support of the Center for Unity projects by enlisting family and friends to join your team to raise the necessary funds to bring the AskJesus chatbot, the Discover Jesus app, Cinematic Jesus, and the Jesus Experience to reality.
Use this link, to create your CFU fundraising team:
Then, invite others to join your team by donating toward the goal you set for your team. Setting up your team is quick and easy. Let's have some fun with this while making great things happen. And, remember that all donations will be matched by our anonymous donor! Recurring donations will be immediately matched for 12 months. Contact Lisa Crawford or Rick Lyon if you need more information.
$100,000 MATCHING FUND IS GROWING!!!
Version 3 of the AskJesus chatbot is completed. Our Discover Jesus app will be released next month. All the people and parts are coming together for the Jesus Experience and Cinematic Jesus. So, like all worthwhile projects, the driving force is funding.
We changed our "thermometers" this month. The recurring donor meter shows the funds rather than the number of donors. Many of you have given more than the suggested $25 a month and we want to reflect on your generosity in going the second mile in this adventure.
The response to our matching fund opportunity has been super-encouraging to the whole team. There is still plenty of matching fund money available. So, please take advantage of this opportunity.
Just a reminder to our donors from the USA, be sure to get your year-end donations to us before December 31st to provide tax deductions for 2023.

LISA CRAWFORD JOINS THE CFU EXECUTIVE TEAM
The Center for Unity is pleased to announce that Lisa Crawford has joined the Executive Committee leadership team. Lisa is from the United States and brings her skills and experience in donor management and marketing to our CFU family. She will help guide this team into the future and promote not only the creation of our projects but help make people aware of them.
Our goal is not only to create these tools but to make them available for people to use and benefit from. We need to get the word out about them so people all over the world can use them to become closer to God. These are two aspects of marketing that Lisa will now be striving to accomplish as the CFU marketing leader.
Please attend our next Ask Me Anything Zoom meeting to give Lisa a warm welcome to the CFU team.
An additional benefit of Lisa joining the team is that Santiago Kneeland will now be able to focus more attention upon the Cinematic Jesus project along with Steven and Kerri. Leading Cinematic Jesus and our marketing efforts was a lot to ask of a young family man, even one as dedicated to this effort as is Santiago.
