Marketing: Google Ads Grant
By Rick Lyon
CFU GOOGLE ADS GRANT UPDATE
In the past month, our Google Ads Grant process has been completed and is now actively inviting people to the resources we have created. Google provides $10,000 of free online ads to not-for-profit organizations.
When someone searches for a keyword or topic that is in one of our website pages, such as the AskJesus Chatbot or the Discover Jesus web app, Google advances our website toward the top of the results list based on the compatibility of our content with the person's search criteria.
Each month, according to Google, 98,000 people search for "When was Jesus born?" We have an essay in Discover Jesus that addresses that very question – just waiting for them to find!
In the 12 days since the Google ads went live we have had over 10,000 views and 1100 clicks to the AskJesus chatbot. AskJesus now has well over 3000 questions submitted to it in the last three months, with glowing reviews on the quality of the touchingly beautiful answers it gives in response.
The benefit of this effort with Google Ads is that we are sharing the teachings with people outside of the usual Urantia community. Through this they are discovering Jesus as we know him. If a person asks Jesus using our chatbot, perhaps they will be led to our Discover Jesus web app and that then leads them to The Urantia Book.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR PROJECTS
I truly believe the projects the CFU are working on are some of the most innovative anywhere in the UB movement. I have tried the ‘AskJesus’ app and was quite astonished at the answers I got back. So much so that I have shared them with a number of people including my own family. I am inclined to incorporate some of them into a ‘tract’ (a small pamphlet), and pop them into people’s letterboxes, such was the quality of the answers.
What an exciting vision and project to introduce the life and presence of our Master Son and his ministry of faith and love to our world and universe! I certainly wish you the best and pray for this mustard seed to take root and grow and to bloom and bear its fruit for future generations.
The work you all have done on this project is most promising for all the world to get to Discover Jesus like never before since His Ascension on high.
What a privilege and a Blessing from Heaven to be witnessing the first steps of this CFU Newborn Baby that will be Discovered and Loved by all of Humanity. It is a true Joy to know each one of you and to be working altogether while giving expression of all our unique talents that God has Bestowed upon each of us. Thank you all for your Inspiration to share The Revealed Life and Teachings of Jesus. God Bless You All, beloved brothers and sisters!
I marvel to see all the great work that is being done for the Jesus Project and you have all my admiration for your loving service.
A great team and a meaningful project. This world certainly needs this!
This is an amazing accomplishment and the world will benefit greatly from it! My hat’s off to all of you!!
Thank you for the wonderful work you are all doing at the Center for Unity. I tried the "AskJesus" app today and was quite amazed by the well written and useful answers to my questions. They also seemed to totally reflect the teachings of The Urantia Book. And they appeared so quickly. I can definitely see that this could be very popular, especially to young people.
I’ve actually used AskJesus and was very impressed.
It is an exciting day. Congratulations to all those who have been dedicated to this effort.
This is so exciting! The hard work of so many people is coming to fruition.
I love the Discover Jesus app!!! ❤️ Excellent and easy to use. Very readable. I believe it will have a huge impact which this planet badly needs.
