Two Faith Pillars:

GIFT
Everything Is A GIFT From God; And We Should Reciprocate And Re-Gift Our GIFTS
TRANSFORMATION
Given God’s Great GIFTs, We Should Allow God To Transform Us To Be His Transforming Face To The World
Fan into flame
the Gift of God.

For it is by grace you have
been saved…it is the gift of God.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s
will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
“Freely you have received; freely give.”
Matthew 10: 8
But eagerly desire the greater gifts...
the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 12:31; 13:13
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate
the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image
with ever-increasing glory,
which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18
Each one should use whatever gift he has received
to serve others.

Global Institute For Transformation’s Brand Essence -- Highlighting Both
GIFT and TRANSFORMATION -- Conveys Foundational Faith Concepts
(GIFT and TRANSFORMATION Represent Two Key, Unifying, Interrelated Scripture Messages)

LIFE’S KEY PREMISE: EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IS A GIFT!

© Global Institute For Transformation® 402-212-7973 www.institutefortransformation.org
TRUE CHRISTIANITY INVOLVES
LETTING OURSELVES BE
TRANSFORMED TO
“RE-PRESENT” CHRIST
Let’s Let The Holy Spirit Transform Us
To Re-present The Heart, Hands And Face
Of Jesus To The World Around Us
And we all, who with unveiled faces
contemplate the Lord’s glory,
are being transformed into his image
with ever-increasing glory,
which comes from the Lord,
who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3: 18 NIV®

Everything is a GIFT from God: life itself; the love
of Jesus; Salvation; our Church; etc.
• “Weneed to acknowledge jubilantly thatour life
is essentially a gift…” Gaudete Et Exsultate
• “Faith is God’s free gift… Christ has been given to
us as a great gift which inwardly transforms us,”
Lumen Fidei
• “…livein gratitude, obeying with joy He Who has
given us so much, infinitely more than what we
can give to Him. The foundation of this duty is
the love of God the Father, Who first gives, then
commands,” expressedPope Francis, 6/27/2018
• “…in commercial relationships the principle of
gratuitousness and the logic of GIFT … must find
their place within normal economic activity,”
Caritas in Veritate
As God’s GIFTs are appreciated,
TRANSFORMATIONS occur.
• “Grace acts in history; ordinarily it takes hold of
us and transforms us progressively… Only on the
basis of God’s gift, freely accepted and humbly
received, can we cooperate by our own efforts in
our progressive transformation… God wants to
speak to the world by your life. Let yourself be
transformed,” Gaudete Et Exsultate
• “In God’s gift of faith, when we welcome that
Word, Jesus Christ the Word made flesh, the
Holy Spirit transforms us. Faith consists in the
willingness to let ourselves be constantly
transformed... Christian faith is thus faith in a
perfect love, in its decisive power, in its ability to
transform the world,” Lumen Fidei

Unifying A Divided Church
– As Christ Prayed And Admonished Us --
For Today’s Post-Christian Environment

GIFT Supports The Prayer And Admonition Of Jesus
That All Christians Be United

Global Institute ForTransformation® (GIFT) Can Help Engage Both
Catholics And Protestants In Our Common Call To Transform The World
“WHAT IS THE CHURCH BUT A GLOBAL INSTITUTE FOR TRANSFORMATION (A G.I.F.T.)”
“The issue of spiritual transformation is not new in the Christian faith.
It has been a primary issue, though perhaps given different labels,
throughout church history.” https://bible.org/seriespage/model-spiritual-transformation
“All of the baptized are called to work toward the transformation of the
world…” “All of the faithful are called in various ways to share in the Church’s
mission of announcing the reign of God and transforming the world in the
light of Christ.” http://www.usccb.org/upload/co-workers-vineyard-lay-ecclesial-ministry-2005.pdf (pgs. 8; 20)
"In the end, life is not about accumulation. It is much more than success.
To be truly alive is to be transformed from within, open to the energy of God's
love. In accepting the power of the Holy Spirit you too can transform your
families, communities and nations.“ Pope Benedict XVI at World Youth Day.
“With Christ we can transform ourselves and the world,” proclaimed
Pope Francis, in his first Palm Sunday message, 2013.
GIFT’s Mission:
Transforming hearts, lives and communities by helping
people receive, fully appreciate and share the gift(s) of God.

GIFT Can Support The New Evangelization In “Uniting All Christians In A
Common Witness To The ‘Transforming Power’ of the Gospel Message”
Six Ways GIFT can help fulfill the New Evangelization and share the “transforming power” of the Gospel
message through its cross-denominational mission, resources and “brand proposition,” including:
1. Reuniting the entire Body Of Christ in working together to transform the world in the light of Christ
2. Equipping Protestants and Catholics to dialogue on truths, using tools with NIV® text and Imprimaturs
3. Supporting Protestants and Catholics in Faith Fervency and Corporal & Spiritual Works Of Mercy
4. Reengaging those who left the Church as a welcoming and aligned ministry of the Church
5. Bringing Christ’s Presence to the world and Shepherding more people into fervent communion with Christ
6. Addressing the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, “17 Goals To Transform The World,” as per MT 25
“A new evangelization means that the Church must convincingly sustain her efforts
at uniting all Christians in a common witness to the world of the prophetic
and ‘transforming power’ of the Gospel message.“
2012 Synod on the New Evangelization

Cross-Denominational GIFT Was Enthusiastically Endorsed As “Sorely
Needed” By Archbishop Elden Curtiss, Given GIFT’s Work To Help
Transform Lives Via Innovations In Meeting Spiritual Material Needs
Archbishop Elden Curtiss
described and endorsed GIFT as:
“a cross-denominational ministry that’s
helping transform lives so we’ll live and
love more like Jesus – and transform our
world. Given all the challenges in today’s
world, GIFT is sorely needed…
Through several ministries ranging from
production of posters and notecards to
establishing water filtration systems in
third world countries, GIFT is helping
people be transformed…
I enthusiastically support the mission of
GIFT and encourage you to be open …
‘to the energy of God’s love’ through the
many opportunities which GIFT offers
to be transformed by the power
of Jesus’ love.”

2 Tim 1:6
Vatican City, Oct 27, 2014 (CNA/EWTN)
In his homily for Mass celebrated at the Santa
Marta residence Monday, Pope Francis warned
against the harm of “lukewarm” Christianity,
calling on faithful instead to be “children of light.”
The Lord has strong words towards Christian
who avoid overstating their Christianity, the
Pope told the congregation on Oct. 27. Such
Christians do great harm “because their
Christian witness is a witness which ultimately
disseminates confusion, disseminates a
negative witness.”
At the End Times, the Pope continued, the
Lord will say to these “gray” Christians:
“You are neither hot nor cold. If only you
were hot or cold. But because you are
lukewarm – therefore gray – I vomit you
from my mouth.”

O
Lord,
give us
a mind that is
humble, quiet, peaceable,
patient and charitable,
and a taste of your Holy Spirit
in all our thoughts, words and deeds.
O Lord, give us a lively faith, a firm hope,
a fervent charity, a love of you.
Take from us all lukewarmness
in meditation and all dullness in prayer.
Give us fervor and delight in thinking of you,
your grace, and your tender compassion toward us.
Give us, good Lord,
the grace to work for
the things we pray for.
--Thomas More, 1478-1535

Pope Benedict Said The Church Is Like A Heart Transplant Team:
Helping People Receive A New Heart From Jesus;
And Assuring That Heart Doesn’t Get Rejected

What’s Needed For Transforming The World
Is Letting Our Hearts Be Transformed
Through Following Jesus In Suffering And Humility
"We too expect God to be strong in the world and to transform the world on
the spot, according to our ideas and the needs that we perceive.“
"God chooses a different way. God chooses the way of the transformation of
hearts in suffering and in humility.
And we, like Peter, must convert, over and over again. We must follow Jesus
and not go before Him: it is He who shows us the way."
"So it is that Peter tells us: You think you have
the recipe and that it is up to you to transform
Christianity, but it is the Lord who knows the way.
It is the Lord who says to me, who says to you:
follow Me!
And we must have the courage and humility to
follow Jesus, because He is the Way, the Truth
and the Life."
Pope Benedict

We Need To Celebrate Our Creator And The Wonders Of His Creation
(It’s An Imperative And Foundational Faith Issue)
• Less than 2/3 of millennials raised
Catholic remain Catholic as adults.
• Half of young former Catholics self-
identify as atheists, agnostics or with
no religious affiliation
• Typical age to leave the faith: 13.
• 63% stopped being Catholic
between ages 10-17; 23% before 10.
• Only 13% said they were ever likely
to return to the Catholic Church.
• 50% stopped believing in what the
Catholic Church teaches and did not
like the Catholic Church's rules and
judgmental approach
— “Because I grew up realized it was a story like Santa
or the Easter Bunny.”
— “As I learn more about the world around me and
understand things that I once did not, I find that the thought
of an all-powerful being to be less and less believable.”
— “Catholic beliefs aren’t based on fact. Everything is
hearsay from back before anything could be documented, so
nothing can be disproved, but it certainly shouldn’t be taken
seriously.”
— “I realized that religion is in complete contradiction with
the rational and scientific world, and to continue to
subscribe to a religion would be hypocritical.”
— “Need proof of something.”
— “It no longer fits into what I understand of the universe.”

GIFT’s Celebrate Our Creator® Curriculum and Merchandise Can Help Us
Appreciate God’s GIFT of Creation and Become Better Stewards Of It
(Supports Laudato Si, Care4Creation, Season of Creation).
MOST IMPORTANTLY IT REASSERTS GOD AS CREATOR, WORTH OF PRAISE
“The Psalms frequently exhort us to praise God the Creator, ‘who spread out the earth on the waters,
for his steadfast love endures for ever.’ (Ps 136:6). They also invite other creatures to join us in this praise:
‘Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters
above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created.’
(Ps 148:3-5). We do not only exist by God’s mighty power; we also live with him and beside him. This is why
we adore him.
The writings of the prophets invite us to find renewed strength in times of trial by contemplating the all-
powerful God who created the universe. Nature expresses a design of love and truth. It is prior to us, and it
has been given to us by God as the setting for our life. Nature speaks to us of the Creator (cf. Rom 1:20) and
his love for humanity… Projects… need to be marked by solidarity and inter-generational justice…”
ENCYCLICAL LETTER LAUDATO SI’ OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME
“The environment is God's gift to everyone, and in our use of it we have a responsibility towards the poor,
towards future generations and towards humanity as a whole. When nature, including the human being, is
viewed as the result of mere chance or evolutionary determinism, our sense of responsibility wanes. “

Sheep & Goat Go To The Ice Cream Parlor

Sheep & Goat Book Renders Parable of the Final Judgment in a Fun Way
Key To Countering 40% Drop In Empathy Among Youth And Corresponding Devaluation Of Others
(As Noted By A University Of Michigan Longitudinal Study Of College Students Before/After 2000; http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-05/uom-ecs052610.php)
Sheep & Goat Book Provides Essential
Church Teaching:
• Social Justice/Matthew 25
• Selflessness Vs. Selfishness
• Living & Loving Like Jesus
• Empathy
• Act… Reflect…Transform
Received An Imprimatur

cream-parlor-childrens-book
What People Are Saying About
The Sheep & Goat Book
Archdiocese Chancellor:
“Sheep & Goat is an inspirational tale that
teaches young people the value of generosity
and stewardship. It helps the young reader to
appreciate the parable Jesus himself taught in
the gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 25. May
we all strive to be like the sheep!" affirmed
Monsignor Joseph C. Taphorn, Chancellor.
Parents:
"My daughter has hundreds of books she
can choose from, but there are two that are
her favorites. One is a pocket sized Bible,
and the other is the Sheep & Goat book. Every
time I read her the Sheep & Goat book I get
chills, as the story is moving, and I know God
is working through this book,” writes a dad. .

Pope Francis Told Our Youth, “If you want to know what you
actually have to do, read Matthew Chapter 25, which is the
protocol by which we will be judged.”
So Let’s Give Our Kids What They Really Need:
“Sheep & Goat Go To The Ice Cream Parlor,” A Fun-Filled Expression Of Matthew 25
https://www.slideshare.net/TimMaurer1/sheep-goat-go-to-the-ice-cream-parlor-childrens-book?qid=5139ab5c-77c7-4195-aba0-f1ef44b657dc&v=&b=&from_search=1

Sheep & Goat Go To The Ice Cream Parlor Has Touched The Hearts Of Catholic Leaders And Kids
Why settle for only what the world promotes, when we can encourage our children to live out their faith?

A Critical Situation Needs To Be Addressed By The Church And Our Families:
There’s Been A 40% Drop In Empathy Among Young
Adults – And A Corresponding Devaluation Of Others!
Let’s redouble our efforts to teach compassion to our children, with the “Sheep & Goat Go To
The Ice Cream Parlor” children’s book, rendering Matthew 25 in a fun and engaging manner.
Michigan University’s longitudinal study
surfaced an alarming 40% drop in empathy
among college students, back in 2010.
Note: In 2018, GIFT requested an update,
and the author of the study presented an
even more disturbing conclusion that
strikes at the heart of our faith practices.
“For it to change, society would have to
care,” noted study author, Dr. Kornrath.
Sadly, despite our compassionate support
as Christian leaders, grandparents, parents,
and educators, we must not be teaching
empathy to our children to the extent that
they can withstand and stand against the
prevailing orientation of self that’s
dominant in today’s world. And the results
are truly tragic.
We need to address this. Introducing our
young children to Matthew 25 -- via the
Sheep & Goat Go To The Ice Cream Parlor

“Our sociologists of religion tell us that the influence of a
parish has a radius of six hundred meters. In Buenos Aires
there are about two thousand meters between one parish
and the next.
So I then told the priests: “If you can, rent a garage and,
if you find some willing layman, let him go there! Let
him be with those people a bit, do a little catechesis and
even give Communion if they ask him.”
A parish priest said to me: ‘But Father, if we do this the
people then won’t come to church.’ ‘But why?’ I asked
him: ‘Do they come to Mass now?’ ‘No,’ he answered.
And so! Coming out of oneself is also coming out from
the fenced garden of one’s own convictions, considered
irremovable, if they risk becoming an obstacle, if they
close the horizon that is also of God.”
Pope Francis Has Advocated Engaging Laity in Community Outreach,
Encouraging Renting Garages and Mission Houses
Pope Francis Advocated that
Priests “Rent Garages” and
Engage Laity to Reach People
Not Coming to Church
“What are known as ‘mission houses’ deserve a special
mention, for they, in the face of a lack of churches and priests,
allow for many people to have a space for prayer, for listening
to the Word, for catechism, and for community life,” said the
Pope.
He added: “They (“mission houses”) are small signs of the
presence of God in our neighborhoods, as well as a consistent
source of support that make the words of Saint Paul the
Apostle come alive: ‘I urge you to lead a life worthy of the
vocation to which you were called.”
Mission houses are an evangelization initiative born in the
1960’s, In Cuba’s 2,330 mission houses baptisms are held,
stable communities gather, and regular events take place. The
Cuban Bishops Conference considers them “one of the most
important assets of the Church.”
Pope Francis Praised
“Mission Houses” in Cuba as
Essential to Reaching People
Where Churches Can’t Reach

• Premature deaths (before 70 years of age) owing to
cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory
disease or diabetes totaled about 13 million in ‘15,
accounting for 43% of all premature deaths globally.
• Mental disorders such as depression can lead to
suicide. Nearly 800,000 suicides occurred worldwide in
‘15, with men ~2x as likely to commit suicide as women.

MHFL Fulfills the HeART of Christian Living
MEDITERRANEAN STYLE EATING’S HEALTH IMPACT -- AT ESSENTIALLY ZERO COST -- IS MORE
EFFICACIOUS THAN CLINICS AND HOSPITALS, PHARMACEUTICALS AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
MHLFL Helps Fulfill Core Social Justice Teaching:
Act…(on an issue) Reflect (on the root cause)… Transform (the cause at its root)
• Act to care for the sick who are suffering and contending with burgeoning costs
• Reflect on a contributing root cause – poor diet, especially in minority communities
• Transform healthcare impacts with proven-efficacious, Mediterranean-style eating
NOTE: TWO MAJOR CLINICAL STUDIES OF MEDITERRANEAN EATING VS. TYPICAL DIETS WERE STOPPED PREMATURELY
BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMMORAL TO CONTINUE AS THE CONTROL GROUPS WEREN’T RECEIVING THE BENEFITS

Shifting To A Mediterranean Diet
Would Solve 15% of Global Warming
Director Houlton of the UC Davis Muir Institute of the Environment and UCLA visiting researcher M.
Sanjayan explore surprising ways to change how we think and act about climate change. They’ve
documented the connection between diet and climate impacts and advocate a shift to Mediterranean-
style eating. They espouse shifting to Mediterranean diets vs. Vegan or Vegetarian diets due to the
likely easier migration from existing diets to Mediterranean diets.
of GHG reductions
can feed people!

Eleven senior doctors presented a
compelling appeal to Prime Minister
David Cameron, insisting
that it’s time for Mediterranean-style
eating to be placed at the forefront
of health policy.
“The evidence base for the
Mediterranean diet
in preventing all of the chronic
diseases that are plaguing the
Western world is overwhelming,”
says Dr. Richard Hoffman, one of the
lead authors of a letter to Cameron.

Experts Urge Explicit Focus On The Mediterranean Dietary Pattern,
IncludingThe MediterraneanBrand Identity,To Impact Chronic Illnesses
Research Shows The Value Of MHFL Branding:
“In a general prevention context, speaking
abstractly about generic dietary patterns is not
what’s needed. Instead, one model needs to be
unequivocally promoted, that which has been
identified as having proved to be the most
effective amongst many others in terms of the
prevention of obesity-related diseases.
…having shown that Mediterranean Diet prevents
many diseases, the dissemination of its principles
must be placed at the center of health policies.
The importance of having the majority of a
population following a healthy diet like the
Mediterranean Diet is hugely underestimated…
bearing in mind the importance of the scientific
evidence that led to the consideration of the MD
as not just a food model, but also as the most
appropriate regime for disease prevention, a sort
of complete lifestyle plan for the pursuit of
healthcare sustainability.”

Expert Panel Affirms The Healthcare Value In
Mediterranean Harvest For Life®
Dr. Tim Carr, UNL professor of Nutrition and Health Science,
validated the potential health impact of MHFL:
”Dr. Carr mentioned this (MHFL) concept represents
leading a big, necessary change in our lifestyles;
and he drew the analogy between the Phil Skololof,
who single handedly led the change to eliminate trans fats
from commercial cooking, and LMI’s strategy
to migrate people to this more healthy (MHFL) lifestyle.”

People who were educated about how to eat,
cook and abide by the Mediterranean diet
experienced decreases in grocery bills,
decreases in reliance on food pantries,
increases in produce consumption, and
reduction in weight, according to researchers
from The Miriam Hospital and the Rhode
Island Community Food Bank.
Participants bought fewer and fewer sodas,
desserts, snacks and meat, and more and more
veggies and fruits.

BIG SOCIETAL IMPACTS
"Not only did (Mediterranean eating)
study participants cut their food

a food pantry decreased as well, from
68% to 54%...”

Longitudinal Studies Advocate The Mediterranean Dietary Pattern
To Counter U. S. Dietary Gaps, Impact Health And Cut Healthcare Costs
http://journals.lww.com/nutritiontodayonline/Fulltext/2017/09000/Mediterranean_Diet_and_Prevention_of_Chronic.4.aspx http://www.motherjones.com/food/2014/01/standard-american-diet-sad-charts/#
“A large body of research data suggests that traditional dietary
habits and lifestyle unique to the Mediterranean diet lower the
incidence of chronic diseases and improve longevity. These data
contrast with troubling statistics in the United States and other
high-income countries pointing to an increase in the incidence of
chronic diseases and the projected explosion in cost of medical care
associated with an aging population.
Many elements of the Mediterranean eating pattern associate with
improved health and longevity… a major question is what it would
actually take to shift current US dietary patterns across ethnic and
socioeconomic strata. We suggest that new initiatives led by food
industry and public health organizations (i.e. USDA, NIH, etc.)
should realign agricultural and food production with public health
programs so more people can transition to healthier eating.
Major economic incentives to produce and market foods to
protect the health of the US public should be developed not only
because of increased risk of chronic diseases, but also in response
to ballooning medical costs…”
Gap

Food and Land Use coalition (FOLU) identified an annual business opportunity of
~$2 trillion and a hidden cost reduction opportunity of ~$1.3 trillion by 2030 -- on
an investment of just $30 billion -- by migrating societies to healthier diets such as
Mediterranean-style eating. (What ROI!) MHFL can help affect FOLU transformations:
• “Unhealthy diets are responsible for serious effects on human health – which
results in hidden costs, too.
• Current dietary choices are also the main force behind the ongoing conversion of
natural ecosystems to non-sustainable agriculture, which is driving climate change
and the loss of biodiversity.
• The dismal consequences of unhealthy, environmentally poor diets can be
addressed by convergence towards a human and planetary health diet. In almost
all countries, this will require a major transition.
• This does not mean less tasty or appealing diets. This shift is about expanding
everyday choice for most people, making it possible and affordable to enjoy a far
broader range of high-quality foods.
• The convergence is about nutrient content, not specific foods. There’s room for
variety; a number of great culinary traditions such as… Mediterranean diets can
be compatible with a human and planetary healthy diet.”

Enabling A Global Migration To Mediterranean Harvest For Life® Healthier Eating
Can Help Fulfill An Expert-Recommended Transformation Offering A Great ROI

Chronic Illnesses And Their Ballooning Costs Need To Be Addressed
– And The Mediterranean Diet Has Been Identified As A Key Solution
• Nearly half of Americans suffer from at least one chronic
disease (45%/133 million), and the number is growing.
• More than two thirds of all deaths are caused by one
or more of these five chronic diseases: heart disease,
cancer, stroke, COPD and diabetes
• Chronic diseases are responsible for 70% of deaths,
killing more than 1.7 million Americans each year
• Chronic diseases account for 96 cents per dollar spent for
Medicare and 83 cents per dollar for Medicaid.
• Compared with other developed nations, the U.S. has
ranked poorly on cost and outcomes, due to our inability
to effectively manage chronic disease.
• Annual impact on the U.S. economy of the most common
chronic diseases is more than $1 trillion, which could
balloon to ~$6 trillion by the middle of the century.
• Assuming modest improvements in preventing and
treating disease, by 2023 the nation could avoid 40 million
cases of chronic disease and reduce the economic impact
of chronic disease by 27%, or $1.1 trillion annually.

“The G.I.F.T. Card That Makes Change”
Stewardship And Affinity Value-Creation Program
A Moral-Purchasing-Oriented Stewardship Program, Discount Club and Mobile Shopper’s Wallet
Can Help Affect Faith Formation and Social Justice and Raise Billions for Churches and Ministries

“The GIFT Card That Make Change” Will Teach And Seek To Fulfill
The Call For Moral Purchasing
“What is needed is an effective shift in mentality which can lead to the adoption of new life-styles…
Economic activity… needs to be directed towards the pursuit of the common good… in commercial
relationships the principle of gratuitousness and the logic of GIFT as an expression of fraternity can
and must find their place within normal economic activity.
Economic life… needs works redolent of the spirit of gift… without gratuitousness, there can be no
justice… In order to defeat underdevelopment, action is required… on forms of economic activity
marked by quotas of gratuitousness and communion… market and politics need individuals who are
open to reciprocal gift…”
Caritas In Veritate

GIFT/Church can influence lifestyles; secure $2.3 billion share of targeted $3.5 trillion spend*:
(*$3.5 Trillion Target Category Spend x 65% Of U. S. Professing Christianity x .001 Share of Spend = $2.3 B Christian Affinity Program Royalty)
• Grocery: $107.34/wk.; $5,881/yr. @130 MM HHs = $650 B - $700 B spend, plus MHFL opportunity
• Restaurants: 50 B visits @ 4x/wk. for 250 MM consumers age 8+ = $600 B pend
• Weddings, rings, honeymoon: 2.5 MM events, 175 guests/buyers = $72 B spend/evangelization venue
• Automotive, $1 T spend
• Clothing: $260 B spend
• Travel:2.6 billion50 mile road trips; 650 MM air travel= $500 B spend; “purposed tourism” opportunity
• Fitness (body and mind) 60+% overweight/obese = $400 B+ spend growing to $1 T plus stewardship
• New Movers: 45 MM = $90 B spend and potential opportunity to encourage building God’s house
• Also Energy/Efficiency (some states): stewardship of creation; encourage Laudato Si; cut GHGs

GIFT Will Identify And Advance Moral Purchasing Opportunities
To Help The Church Fulfill Its Mission
EXAMPLE: GIFT Will Promote, Package & Enable “Purposed Tourism”
“International tourism often follows a consumerist and hedonistic pattern, as a form of escapism
planned in a manner typical of the countries of origin, and therefore not conducive to authentic encounter
between persons and cultures.
We need, therefore, to develop a different type of tourism that has the ability to promote genuine
mutual understanding, without taking away from the element of rest and healthy recreation.
Tourism of this type needs to increase...” Pope Benedict XVI

GIFT Will Provide A Moral Purchasing Guide To Help Fulfill
The Call In Caritas In Veritate For Moral Purchasing
A practical example of
using the Moral
Purchasing Scorecard
to help guide Catholic
purchase decisions:
If a company is
pursuing the Internet
of Things technology,
is it doing so primarily
to cut costs by
eliminating positions,
or could they have
plans for affected
workers to be
retrained and
redeployed?
GIFT’s Moral Purchasing
Scorecard was used in
a national Social Justice
Working Group as an
ideation tool -- to help
influence job creation,
wellbeing, fairness
and dignity. It can
leverage the vast
Christian community’s
purchasing clout and
mission to encourage
companies to treat
employees fairly and to
support local and global
community needs.

What is needed is an effective shift in mentality which can lead to the adoption of new life-styles… Economic
activity… needs to be directed towards the pursuit of the common good… in commercial relationships the
principle of gratuitousness and the logic of GIFT as an expression of fraternity can and must find their
place within normal economic activity. Economic life… needs works redolent of the spirit of gift… without
gratuitousness, there can be no justice… In order to defeat underdevelopment, action is required… on
forms of economic activity marked by quotas of gratuitousness and communion… market and politics need
individuals who are open to reciprocal gift…” Caritas In Veritate

GIFT Educates on Solidarity and Issues to Address Global
Disparities and Despair
“The scandal of glaring inequalities continues.” Caritas In Veritate
Global Bottom of the Economic Pyramid issues expose vast unmet needs and inequalities:
• ~1 billion people live on less than $1.00/day – struggling to stay alive; hurting
• An estimated 2.8 - 4 billion people are living on less than $2.00/day
• More than 820 million people don’t have enough food to eat
• Micotoxins, Vitamin A Deficicency, Diarrhea are killing young children
• 1 billion people lack clean water; 50% of hospitalizations due to impure H20; 4 million die/yr.
• 5 billion lack sanitation, risk disease and death
• 500 million people suffer from Malaria; 2 million die/yr.
– U.S. average HH income is $50K+ vs. up to 4 billion living on $2/day
– U.S per capita consumption equals 14x average global CO2
emissions and 18x low-income countries
-- 40% drop in empathy/corresponding devaluation of others
measured among U. S. college youth in U. Michigan study
-- U.S. home size increased 38% from ’75 to ’02
while family sizes shrunk
– Lack of environmental stewardship impacts
climate, migration, food supply/security
-- 66% of U. S. overweight or obese
-- Parable of the final judgment
(Mt. 25) not taking hold
Bottom of the Economic Pyramid
2.8 - 4 billion live on less than $2.00/day
~1 billion @ $1.00/day & at risk of death
Burdened by climate impact from developed world excesses
BSDC reports there are trillions of $ in economic opportunity in helping
US
HH Affluence
$50K = Global Top 1%
Global Vs. U. S. -- “Glaring Inequalities”; “Isolated And Indifferent” ”Do we take refuge in a universal

Global Institute For Transformation Will Help The Church Advance The
UN Sustainable Development Goals As We’re Called To Do In Matthew 25
- UN SDGs call for eradicating poverty, eliminating hunger and enabling wellbeing by 2030
- We’re called to do this in Matthew 25: 31-46, James 2: 18, and elsewhere in Holy Scripture
- BSDC suggests sharing ~$60 trillion in economic opportunity helping people out of poverty!
- The Global Institute For Transformation (GIFT) will use its access to resources such as
supercomputing and microgrids – and expertise in internet of things, water filtration,
nutrition, smart farming, clean energy, smart grid, diversity, social justice and
collaboration – to help the Church help the world fulfill on the UN SDGs, which are
designed to transform our world.

Too Little Involvement In The SDGs To Date Has Resulted In
Too Little Progress Addressing Hunger And Poverty
• For 4 years, global food insecurity has increased– despite the SDGs
• Those facing “chronic food deprivation” increased to ~821 million in ‘17, up
from ~804 million in ‘16.
• And in ‘17, 124 million people across 51 countries faced “crisis” levels of
“acute food insecurity” or worse, requiring immediate emergency action to
safeguard their lives and preserve their livelihoods.
• That’s a big increase vs. ‘15 and ‘16, when 80 and 108 million people
respectively faced crisis levels of acute food insecurity.
• Meaning there were 50% more people needing emergency action to safeguard
their lives and livelihoods in ’17 vs. ‘15, despite the SDGs.
• 10% of the world’s population still struggles to survive on under $1.90 per day.
• Agricultural development is one of the most powerful tools to end extreme
poverty, boost shared prosperity, and feed a projected 9.7 B people by 2050.
• Growth in the ag sector is 2x — 4x more effective in raising incomes among
the global poor than other sectors.
• Committing to the SDGs can create 80 million ag jobs, $2.3 trillion in growth.

GIFT Can Address Global Food, Water, Energy And Nutritional Gaps
Via Innovations As Called For In Church Teachings And Scripture
”What is (still) missing is a network of economic institutions capable of guaranteeing
regular access to sufficient food and water for nutritional needs.
The problem of food insecurity needs to be addressed… promoting the agricultural
development of poorer countries.
…It could be useful to consider the new possibilities that are opening up through
proper use of traditional as well as innovative farming techniques...
The right to food, like the right to water, has an important place within the pursuit of
other rights, beginning with the fundamental right to life. It is therefore necessary to
cultivate a public conscience that considers food and access to water as universal rights
of all human beings, without distinction or discrimination…
The significant new elements in the picture of the development of peoples today in
many cases demand new solutions.” Caritas In Veritate

GIFT Launched “The Great Pumpkin Food Fight – Fighting For Those
Who NeedFood”To Stop Food Waste And Raise Funds For Food Pantries
“It is a scandal that there is still hunger and malnutrition in the world!
The data provided by FAO indicates that approximately one third of the global
production of food is not available due to increasing loss and wastefulness
Wasting food is only one of the fruits of the “culture of waste” which often
leads to sacrificing men and women to the idols of profit and consumption.
It is a sad sign of the “globalization of indifference” which slowly leads us
to grow “accustomed” to the suffering of others, as though it were normal,”
noted Pope Francis at an FAO meeting, World Food Day, 2013.

“It is therefore necessary to cultivate a public conscience that considers food and
access to water as universal rights of all human beings, without distinction or
discrimination,” Caritas In Veritate

Smart Farming of OFSP and Leaves as a Foundational “Starter Crop” Can Deliver
Cross-Cutting SDGs, Food System Transformation, Economic Growth And More:
102
• Dualcrop,sweet potatoesandedibleleavesforhunger,poverty, wellbeing andbiofeedstock;
forchips,fries,flour/baking,flakes, soup,sweeteners, packaging material, fuel, energy, etc.
• Tremendous propagation for food security; can address Post COVID-19 starvation/income
• E.g.: 120 seed potatoes can yield 12MM potatoes & leaves;4MM crop damage and ~23% processing waste for biofeedstock
• Produces more biomass and nutrients per acre that any other food crop; production
possible in marginal soils;key crop to feed~10B; cropdamage/waste for2nd genbiofeedstock
• Often used in disaster recovery food security, given fast growth/yields/nutrition/appeal
• Health/wellbeing: Chronic Illness;Vitamin A Deficiency;Diarrhea; TB;HIV; Malaria; Anemia;
• Recommended to diversify diets, including amid public health crisis of mycotoxins in maize
• Recommended by EUCARIFORUM InvestmentGuide as a“sunrise” crop investment
• Low water footprint/high nutrient density -- key for areas with water crises/droughts
• Low GHG emissions/LCA; carbon capture -- tuber growth syncs w. CO2 increase; circularity
• Only vegetable with higher organic yields than traditional farming (156% vs. traditional)
• Crop damage/mfr. waste = biofeedstock: plastics, fuel,3Dprint filament,lithium-ion anodes
• E.g.: Toyota used 20 MM tons of OFSP for car parts; spinach packaging created with OFSP extended shelf-life 8 days
• Provisionforinnovation/job creation across food, materials, fuel and energy; usage growing
• With ICT, a huge yield increase is possible, from ~8 T/HA to 85 T/HA SHF per FAO; increased
harvests plus damage/wastes will deliver food and 2nd gen biomaterial for growing demand
• ROI in OFSP/Leaves can pay for ICT which can be repurposed for other crops/smart IoT uses
• Entities not focused on food could partner to get crop damage/processing wastes for
biofeedstock plus contribute to impacts on hunger,poverty,wellbeing, IT infrastructure, etc.

Sweet Potatoes Offer Superior Farming Efficacy
And Rapid Scaling Potential For Income And Food Security
Sweet Potatoes are great food security and income-generating plants,
often higher yielding and more sustainable than other common crops.
Potatoes reserved from each harvest can be planted to start new crops.
A Multi-Generation, Multiple-Yield, Highly SustainableOpportunity
Three new generations of slips can be clipped and transferred from each
plant during their 3-4 month growing cycle to expand farms or start new
farm sites. Slips can be a revenue source for farmers.
Propagation can be started or further enabled as harvested potatoes are
turned into seeds (10% of potatoes harvested) and can generate 5 slips in
each potato, and these slips can be clipped 3-4 times over 6 months to
support additional growing. Four seed-initiated generations are possible
from initial seed plantings. Seeds can become a revenue source.
A dual crop: sweet potato leaves are edible and nutritious, making the
plant key to hunger relief. More leaves can be grown by focusing on
nitrogen and water, but a balance can be pursued in growing both leaves
and potatoes. Leaves can be clipped to become new plants (slips).

Sweet Potato Provides For Rapid Scaling Up Of Nutrition Via Propagation And Continuous Farming
Yield Potential:120 Potato Seeds Could Yield12,496,463EdiblePotatoes And Leaves For Hunger,
Plus Produce 4,232,403 Damaged Potatoes For Use As Bio-Feedstock, Biomaterial And Biofuel
Harvest Potential Comes from Propagations of: A) Potato “Seed” Plants; B) Vine Cuttings
Propagation calculation basis: each potato seed produces a minimum of 5 slips x 3 slip cuttings from seed bed x 3 vine
cuttings from field growth x .85 (mortality factor) x 4 potatoes/plant = 153 potatoes x .83 (damage losses) = 126 potatoes.
Factoring in potential 10% storage rot = 114 edible potatoes and leaves – with 39 damaged potatoes for use in bio-feedstock,
biomaterial and biofuels. At end of the harvest, 10% of the edible potato crop gets replanted as seed to generate new slip
cuttings. (Need to test throttling water and nitrogen for increasing yield of edible leaves without harming potatoes.) Also,
sweet potato food processing wastes can be added to the crop damage amount for even more bio-feedstock.
Generation 1
120 seeds x 5 slips x 3 slip cuttings from each bed x 3 vine cuttings from field growth x .85 (mortality rate) x 4 potatoes per
plant = 18,360 potatoes x .83 (damage losses) = 15,238 potatoes x .9 for losses in storage: 13,715 edible potatoes plus
edible leaves -- and 4,645 damaged potatoes for bio-feedstock, biomaterial and biofuel
Generation 2
1,371 seeds x 5 slips x 3 slip cuttings from each bed x 3 vine cuttings from field growth x .85 (mortality rate) x 3.6 potatoes
per plant = 188,786 potatoes x .83 (damage losses) = 156,693 potatoes x .9 for losses in storage: 141,023 edible potatoes
plus edible leaves -- and 47,763 damaged potatoes for bio-feedstock, biomaterial and biofuel
Generation 3
14,102 seeds x 5 slips x 3 slip cuttings from each bed x 3 vine cuttings from field growth x .85 (mortality rate) x 3.2 potatoes
per plant = 1,726,085 potatoes x .83 (damage losses) = 1,432,650 potatoes x .9 for losses in storage = 1,289,385 edible
potatoes plus edible leaves – and 436,700 damaged potatoes for bio-feedstock, biomaterial and biofuel
Generation 4
128,938 seeds x 5 slips x 3 slip cuttings from each bed x 3 vine cuttings from field growth x .85 (mortality rate) x 3 potatoes
per plant = potatoes = 14,795,635 potatoes x .83 (damage) = 12,280,377 x .9 for losses in storage = 11,052,340 edible
potatoes plus edible leaves – and 3,743,295 damaged potatoes for bio-feedstock, biomaterial and biofuel
Total Harvest Potential: 12,496,463 edible potatoes and leaves from 120 seeds; plus 4,232,403 in damages for biomaterial
and biofuel. (Note: there will also be incremental food processing wastes estimated @ ~20% to add to the bio-feedstock.)
Note:companiesnot currently engaged in addressing hunger, wellbeing and poverty could engage to secure bio-feedstock.
Note: Available ICT Can Help Optimize And Track Propagations And Manage Agribusiness P&L
