Greg and Pam Ayers were living the good life in Salt Lake City, Utah. They were living the American Dream...senior management positions with significant salaries, a nice home and two young children.
But the loss of a close friend caused Greg to question his own life and ask “Am I really making a difference in the world?” And the couple decided it was time for a change.
Both Greg and Pam quit their jobs, relocated to Tucson, Arizona and started a new organization called GAP Ministries. Over the past 24 years, they have built an amazing non-profit that is focused on foster care, reuniting families and breaking the cycles of poverty and abuse. With a staff of 120 people and an annual budget of $10 million, the group is having a significant impact in Southern Arizona. On more than one occasion, they have "emptied" their own retirement savings to keep the organization moving forward.
