GNDF ENDED 2019 WITH INCREASING ACTIVITY ACROSS ITS OPERATIONAL AREAS AND APPROXIMATELY 310K SVOD (STREAMING VIDEO ON DEMAND) SUBSCRIBERS, AN INCREASE OVER 2018 OF APPROXIMATELY 3%. IN ADDITION, GNDF IS DEVELOPING ACTIVITIES TO REACH ITS SOCIAL-MEDIA PARTICIPANTS (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILLION PEOPLE) WITH BOTH THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THESE SOCIAL MEDIA CONTACTS TO PARTICIPATE IN GNDF'S FUND RAISING EFFORTS. THESE FUNDRAISING EFFORTS BEGAN IN THE LAST QUARTER OF 2019 AND WILL BE (CONT'D ON SCH. O) CONTINUING INTO THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.ONE OF GNDF'S SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES IS TO "ADVANCE THE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH VARIOUS MEDIA". GNDF'S SVOD PROGRAMMING, MULTI-MEDIA PRESENTATIONS AND ON-LINE RESOURCES WILL CONTINUE TO BE USED AS APPROPRIATE IN SUPPORTING THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. IN 2019, GNDF HAD INITIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE RON BLUE INSTITUTE, AFFILIATED WITH INDIANA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, REGARDING THE CREATION OF "FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP" PROGRAMS. THESE PROGRAMS WOULD BE HOSTED BY THE INSTITUTE ON BEHALF OF GNDF, FOR THE BENEFIT OF GNDF SUPPORTERS AND SVOD SUBSCRIBERS. THE RON BLUE INSTITUTE'S MISSION STATEMENT IS "EDUCATING BELIEVERS TOWARD TRANSFORMATIONAL STEWARDSHIP". GNDF BELIEVES THIS IS A PROJECT THAT CAN ADD TO OUR CURRENT OFFERINGS IN A WAY THAT WILL ALLOW US TO REACH MANY PEOPLE UNFAMILIAR WITH GNDF. DISCUSSIONS PERTAINING TO THE POSSIBILITIES OF USING THE INSTITUTE'S MATERIALS ARE ON-GOING.
