80 - Faith, Leadership, and Philanthropy | Gale Kragt

Join us as we welcome Gale Kragt, the co-founder and executive director of Soul Care Consultants, on our Kingdom Investor podcast. Listen to Gale's inspiring journey, from being called to the ministry based on a grandmother's prophecy to partnering with a medical doctor, Dr. Troy Carlson, to start a nonprofit spiritual care organization. Gale's story unfolds to reveal how God provided steps to help them create a spiritual healing ministry that offers free care to those in need. His experience reminds us of God's provision and how he can use our talents and skills to serve others. 

In our conversation, we also explore Gale's impressive feat of expanding his ministry from school buildings to five schools and an entire children's ministry. We learn how Gale mastered the art of fund development, fostering relationships with business leaders, and creating the 'Connecting Champions' program. His success story of raising the endowment fund from $55,000 to $966,000 in just three weeks is indeed the 'miracle on Green Street'. It's an enlightening discussion about how his work at a church in Holland, 18 years prior, set the stage for the success of Soul Care Consultants. 

But that's not all. Our discussion stretches beyond borders as we share our experiences of providing spiritual and financial support to pastors in Honduras, rescuing kids from gangs in Costa Rica, and visiting a rehab center for underage girls rescued from sex trafficking, drugs, and prostitution. Finally, Gale talks about the importance of building partnerships in ministry and business, sharing insightful leadership lessons and book recommendations. We wrap up with tips on crafting your Kingdom investing thesis and how it can create lasting legacies for future generations. Don't miss out on this captivating episode that seamlessly merges faith, leadership, and philanthropy!
