Interview: “The Giving of Life”

I met Kerry Bural about a year and a half ago. We talked about church, leadership, branding, etc. I really like what he’s done with The Resonate Group, so I stay up with him. He’s brilliant!

Recently, he has been involved in a new project called “The Giving Of Life.” Some people have the Midas Touch. Kerry is one of those people. Everything he touches turns to gold. So, naturally, I wanted to know more.

Here’s my interview with Kerry.

MC: What’s the Giving of Life Grant all about?

KB: Giving of Life is a way for us to give back to the countless ministries that give so much to others continually. The Giving of Life Grant is an opportunity for 501c3 ministries who have an annual budget of $4 million or less to apply to receive funding to further their ministry goals. We are giving away three major grants – a $50,000, $20,000, and $10,000 and are giving away 17 additional grants in the amount of $2,000 each.

MC: What’s the heart behind this grant?

KB: We desire to give life to those who are investing in others through various ministries. As they pour themselves out for others and serve with love and compassion, Giving of Life desires to invest in them and be a breath of fresh air so that they may be filled and re-fueled. We are giving these grants to equip ministries with the resources necessary to realize their ministry goals. We also desire to build a network of believers who are all laboring for the sake of the Gospel so that we can continually be encouraging each other to give life.

MC: Who’s partnering with you to make this happen?

KB: The SoulCare Project and The Resonate Group have come together to make Giving of Life possible. Under the leadership of Dan Maclellan, myself and Russell Courtney, the Giving of Life grant has become a reality and is now a lifeline for many ministries who are in need of financial resources as well as our prayer and encouragement.

MC: What’s your hope for the future of the Giving of Live Grant?

KB: In the future, we hope to be able to give more grants to even more applicants and ultimately, meet tangible needs while also meeting spiritual needs. We want to continue to be life-givers who empower those in ministry by encouraging them with the love and strength Christ promises to fill us with.

MC: How can people get involved?

KB: It is easy to get involved! Ministries which meet the qualifications can apply at our website: http://givingoflife.com/. Also, we need people to vote and share the news of Giving of Life with their friends. You can get connected with us on Facebook or Twitter as well.
