The Global Institute For Transformation (GIFT), Lincoln, NE, USA, has been implementing innovations in support of the Christian & Catholic Church. GIFT has created tools to help parishioners transform their own lives and the lives of others around the world. GIFT helps the Catholic Church fulfill on the USCCB proclaimation that “All of the baptized are called to work toward the transformation of the world.” and their proclaimation that the mission of the Church is “To announce the reign of God and work toward the transformation of the world.”

GIFT provides tools to advance Spiritual and Corporal Works Of Mercy. GIFT resources include Scripture Artwork, a Children’s Book, Curriculum and Merchandise that not only encourage faith but also fund for global relief. GIFT’s global relief efforts involve working with the Church to distribute the world’s most innovative water filtration and irrigation systems — including implementations in 35 parishes in Guatemala and in Sudan and Ethiopia. GIFT has also developed a mobile wallet application to fund U. S. based ministry and global remittances. GIFT has developed a concept for Cafe & GIFT Shoppes to reach those struggling without God and not likely to turn immediately to the Church for faith issues. And GIFT’s creators have developed a dietary regimen, Mediterranean Harvest For Life, to solve critical health problems and testify to the glorious creation of God.
