In this Note from Nolen, you will meet GPS Life Journey Partner, Barb Dunn.  Here is what she had to share in the video.

"Hi. My name is Barb Dunn, and I'm a GPS Life Journey Graduate and a GPS Life Journey Facilitator. My husband, who's also a graduate, and I have decided to become GPS Life Journey Partners. What is a GPS Partner, you might ask? Well, a GPS Partner is an individual or couples, like Dan and myself, who felt led of God to become a GPS Life Journey financial supporter.

The operating budget of the global GPS ministry is supported by a small number of people who believe in the mission of the ministry and donate at least a hundred dollars per month. Or $1,200 per year to help people discover and engage in their life purpose. Serving as a GPS Facilitator allows me to observe firsthand how excited individuals are when they discover God's purpose for the next stage of their lives.

GPS does not do fundraising activities or solicit donations as other organizations do. GPS Life Journey depends totally on people who believe in the ministry and feel led of God to become a partner. So would you pray and ask God if he wants you to become a GPS Partner like Dan and I have? It's a great way to leverage your giving as thousands of people in over 30 countries around the world are now engaged in kingdom service because of their participation in GPS.

Thank you and God bless and I really hope if you haven't done it yet, you go through the GPS Life Journey program and you live on purpose as well."

The mission of GPS Life Journey is to help individuals discover and fulfill their God-given purposes for the next stages of their lives.

GPS Life Journey answers three important life questions…

• How has God uniquely designed and shaped me for service in His Kingdom?
• How can I get direction from God concerning His purpose for my life?
• What is God’s purpose for the next stage of my life and how can I accomplish that purpose?

Over 21,000 people in over 30 countries of the world have successfully discovered and are engaged in fulfilling their God-given purposes through participating in the GPS Life Journey Process. GPS Graduates are engaged in sharing the Gospel, planting churches, training church leaders, providing humanitarian services including food, clean water, clothing, personal hygiene and shelter, rescuing human trafficking victims, building orphanages, churches and schools, providing free medical clinics, helping widows, training leaders in Christian businesses, and numerous other ministries.

People put their money where their missions are… 
Once people discover their God-given passions and purposes, they eagerly invest their financial resources in Christian ministries around the world. Research has proven that every dollar donated to GPS Life Journey results in fourteen dollars being invested in a Christian ministry or cause by GPS Life Journey Graduates. That is financial leverage and wise investing.

GPS Life Journey is a faith-based ministry. 
GPS Life Journey trusts God for the provision of funds for the operating budget. GPS does not do fund raising activities or events or charge for the services of helping others. We rely totally on God leading individuals/couples/churches to support the global ministry of GPS Life Journey. The total operating budget for the ministry world-wide is less than $100,000. The ministry is led by volunteers around the world.

GPS Life Journey Partners
Those individuals/couples/churches who feel led to support GPS Life Journey with tax-deductible donations of at least $100 per month or $1,200 per year are GPS Life Journey Partners. They make possible this ministry of helping individuals discover and fulfill their God-given purposes. GPS Life Journey has always, in its 20 plus years of ministry, relied on less that 25 partners to support its operating budget.

GPS Life Journey does not ask people to give. We ask people to pray to see if God is leading them to become a partner. God has always provided the operational funding needs through this small number of people.

If you feel that God is leading you to become a GPS Life Journey Partner, please contact us at [email protected] or 239-860-0096.

May God richly bless you as you continue to bless others,

In this month's Note from Nolen, you'll learn about what Nolen Rollins is thankful for this year.

"Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving and coming close to the end of another year?  Well, I am especially thankful this November As we enter the Thanksgiving season for what God is doing through the GPS Life Journey ministry,  almost 300 individuals just here in the home office of GPS  have gone through the GPS Life Journey in the past couple of years since relocating to Tennessee. 

If you're one of those individuals who has participated in the GPS Life Journey,  I hope you will take time to thank God for having a specific purpose for the next stage of your life and giving you the privilege of being engaged in fulfilling his purpose for your life and making a difference in the lives of others. 

I am especially grateful that God is continuing to use me here at my old age to help other people discover God's purpose for their life and really leave a legacy. Of helping others and serving God in his kingdom and bringing great glory to him.  I trust you will have a great Thanksgiving season and that you will not forget to be thankful to God for how he has blessed your life."

As we sit down with our loved ones this Thanksgiving, let's take a moment to reflect on the blessings we've received and the purposes we've discovered. The GPS Life Journey ministry is just one of the many avenues through which we can uncover our unique calling and become agents of change in the world.

Consider the story of Cheryl, a woman who had heard great things about GPS Life Journey and wanted her two teenage step daughters to experience it with her. They joined the GPS Life Journey program via Zoom, seeking clarity and direction. Through the process, they discovered their passions for helping others experience the love of God. Today, each of them are using opportunities God has placed in their path to lead as examples of their faith in Jesus. She found her purpose, and in doing so, transformed not only her life but the lives of those around her.

Cheryl's story is a powerful reminder that God has a plan for each of us, and that it's never too late to make a difference. No matter our age or stage in life, we all have the potential to leave a lasting legacy by serving others and drawing attention to the glory of God.

There's a Chinese proverb that goes, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now." This sentiment holds true for our life's purpose. If you feel unsure of your path or yearn for a more profound sense of fulfillment, consider embarking on the GPS Life Journey yourself. 

We still have opportunities to participate in the GPS Life Journey process online via Zoom.  You can also contact us to find out when events are being planned to start again in person from January 2025!
 
As we express gratitude for our blessings this Thanksgiving, let's also remember that we are called to use our gifts and talents to uplift others. By actively seeking and embracing God's purpose for our lives, we can create ripples of change that will impact future generations.

This Thanksgiving, let's be thankful for the opportunity to serve and transform the lives of those around us. In doing so, we not only honor the Lord but also leave a legacy that will last for generations to come.
