Threshold Gap Year

This post is part of a nine-part year-end giving series on organizations we love.

In June, Elizabeth joined the founding board of a new organization investing in the lives and futures of young people at the threshold of adulthood. The founder and director, Gavin Potter, enriched the life of one of our sons in a similar program a few years ago, and we have seen the abundant fruit of that work among dozens of others, who have grown in clarity, curiosity, courage, and humility as influential contributors to the well-being of the people around them. Follow this link to hear Gavin describe the vision himself (you’ll need to scroll down to view the video).

Threshold is a brand new entity. Supplied with skill, experience, vision, and faith, Gavin and the two recent grads on the board are brilliant, hard-working young leaders. The other two of us on the board are, shall we say, . . . old and supportive! Gavin is making enormous strides very quickly and very well, and we are all hopeful to welcome the first class of students (rising college freshmen, typically) in the fall of 2027.

*Both Gavin and Anna Potter have experience in gap year leadership* *and administration.*

During this startup period, we’re praying for financial partners to support Gavin and his wife Anna, who are contributing countless hours to get the program up and running. They are also the visionaries who are bearing all of the financial burden, relying prayerfully on support from individual donors until students are enrolled and paying tuition. Would you join us in supporting this promising vision and helping them out?

We are also praying for funds to help secure a facility through rental or purchase. Productive connections with property owners are happening now and have been very encouraging.

We hope you will peruse the website for yourself and consider a gift:
