Donor Discipleship

What is a Gatekeeper?

In 1 Chronicles 9, gatekeepers were entrusted with the rooms and treasuries of the house of God, keeping watch through the night and opening its doors each morning.

A Converge Gatekeeper keeps a similar watch for your family. Trust first, at your pace. Your Gatekeeper keeps out what would harm your giving, welcomes what would bless it, helps your household talk through where you are called to give, and walks with you across seasons of life. Gatekeepers also help nonprofits complete their profiles, and never coach a nonprofit they recommend to your family.

The approach comes from Gatekeeper Giving, Ryan Zeulner's practice and Converge's anchor discipleship partner.

The Journey

Stewardship Formation, walked one step at a time.

Not a funnel. A formation. Each step is a conversation, returned to as often as the season requires.

  1. 01 · Begin

    Your story and values

    We start where every generous life starts: with the story God has written in yours, and the convictions you've come to hold dear.

  2. 02 · See

    Discovering and identifying generosity

    Together we name where generosity is already alive in your life, and where the Spirit may be inviting you further in.

  3. 03 · Reorient

    The upside-down Kingdom

    An unhurried look at the joy Jesus describes, and how it sits against the weight of worldly living. The good life, reframed.

  4. 04 · Send

    Serving locally and globally

    From your own neighborhood to the ends of the earth, discerning where your hands, your prayers, and your gifts are being drawn.

  5. 05 · Stay

    Walking together over time

    A pace that lasts. Formation isn't a sprint. It's a friendship and a rhythm, kept faithfully across seasons.

Ways to walk together

A handful of postures, one for every season.

One-time strategy

Stewardship Formation

Three unhurried sessions to shape a giving plan rooted in your story, your means, and your convictions. The questions that don't belong in a form.

Generosity Package

A family-focused engagement that helps form the next generation in generosity, with practical tools and warm conversation for parents and children alike.

Ongoing advisory

Quarterly Offering

A steady rhythm: four guided conversations a year with your Gatekeeper, with light-touch counsel between.

Monthly Offering

Closer-in support: monthly working sessions, joining selected nonprofit conversations, and faithful accountability to the plan you set.

Small Family Office

A dedicated Gatekeeper for every incoming nonprofit and financial ask: due diligence, vision-trip facilitation, and ongoing care for your family's legacy.

Trust

We move trust, not money.

Converge never takes custody of charitable gifts and never takes a percentage. Gifts flow donor-directed into each ministry's National Christian Foundation Single-Charity Fund, which issues your tax receipt. We're paid only by membership.
