There is a major shift that is about the hit all charities in the next 5 years. As you can tell from the graph above, the baby boomer generation (those born between 1946 – 1964) will begin retiring in droves. Currently this generation is retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day. The problem that is pending is that the baby boomer generation accounts for 90% of current charitable giving while the upcoming millennial generation only accounts for 1% of giving. As you can see from the graph, there will be a 59% shortfall in charitable giving in just 5 years. Ministries like Serve India must adapt as quickly as possible and find a way to engage the younger donor. This is a real urgent dilemma but knowing that God has called us to a specific task, may we have the faith and wisdom to prepare for this major shift.
At Serve India Ministries we are working to upgrade our web site and rapidly increase our ministries presence on the web in order to introduce our ministry to millennial Christians who have a heart for church planting. Please pray for us that we will have wise council and financial provision to make these changes and keep pace with our mission field growth.
