Chuck Gschwend Fundraising Page

Friends of Chuck!

I have come to discover that I exist “To create spacious environments to take leaders into the deeper waters of the Father’s love.” Until Jesus’ leaders are famous for love, His church will not be famous for love.

In June of 2022, I moved to Texas to help launch the Eden Project where I serve as the Director of Spiritual Formation. My primary initial role was to help build and then lead our Eden Lead Cohort for Ministry Leaders. Our first cohort of 35 leaders completed their year-long journey in April of 2024.

If I am honest, I absolutely love what we built. The Holy Spirit is impressive and lives were noticeably transformed. “I’ll never be same” and “I’ll never lead the same” were repeated testimonials. As I look toward the future, I know now that I want to invest my life even more into the souls of these ministry leaders.

In this season, I need to raise a portion of my salary in order to ensure I can continue to work within this team and continue this work. I am truly called to this work.

Will you partner with me on this mission by donating to support my continued work?

Level 1 – One person to give $10,000 annually
Level 2 – Three people to give $5,000 annually
Level 3 – Five people to give n$250/monthly
Level 4 – Ten people to give $100/monthly

In return, here’s what I want to to offer back to my donor friends. In short, I want a relationship beyond merely donor/donee!

For my donors, I want to

Monthly pray for you and your family the first Monday each month. I will build this into my Rule of Life and be open to any specific requests you have.
Be accessible relationally to you for encouragement or prayer as needed. I commit to only reaching out one time per year about money. I will do that in November each year. The purpose of this for you to trust that when you see me call or text, you can not wonder if I am always calling you about money.
Zoom Book Club for “Friends of Chuck” donors. [Optional]

The first book will be: The Good and Beautiful God: Falling in Love with the God Jesus Knows. I will start this in October.

I thank you in advance!

“Brandi and I loved our first Eden Retreat so much we signed up 13 of our leaders to go through the year long Eden Lead Cohort with us. We have no regrets!”

"There are a couple ministries we partner with because they so beautifully and comprehensively grasp the why and what of leader health and discipleship – Chuck Gschwend and Eden Project are at the top of our list."
