A message from Rick Lyon
Urantia Book Fellowship Second Miler Grant Award
We are pleased to announce that our friends at the Fellowship have awarded CFU a $2500 Second Miler Grant for the creation of DiscoverTheUB which will be released August 21st. When we support each other, this is the spirit of cooperation and unity that we all want for this community. We send our most sincere gratitude and a huge "THANK YOU!" to all the members of the Fellowship for their support. This project is going to make this revelation accessible to many more people by providing them with a good starting point for their voyage of discover with The Urantia Book.

The Jesus Experience
The Jesus Experience project has evolved into The Jesus Immersive Experience project. Many of you are familiar with The Van Gogh Immersive Experience. We have been working with the original creator of the Van Gogh experience. We are currently doing our due diligence to make sure we are doing the right thing the right way with the right people. We are constantly aware of our responsibilities as ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven, representatives of Christ Michael, and as stewards of your donations.
We need to create a for-profit entity for such a project because our hope is that beyond the spiritual impact of this project to enlighten the individual, what it will serve as a funding source for future projects, both CFU and others who want to create their own projects for this revelation. Our goal is to serve through what we do but also to someday be able to serve and support those who want to serve.
We now have a quote on the table with project milestones and budget numbers. Our first funding goal is $85,000 for the initial commitment to this project with the event producer. With this we will get a detailed plan and proposal for a turnkey project taking our ideas and content potential to the actual of opening night. There are several steps in this process but the total estimated cost is about $12million. We realize that we probably will not receive a donation of this amount. So, we need to set up a for-profit entity that will allow us to provide returns on investment for people of means to fund this project. We are looking into setting up what is called equity crowdfunding.
We are preparing to reach out to potential donors who can help us with the initial funding to set up this investment opportunity. If you want to know more or can share this with someone you know who may be interested, please share our contact information with them and invite them to meet with us by Zoom. The Van Gogh experience has brought in over $280million and reached millions of people. If Van Gogh can do this, just imagine what Jesus can do!

All Urantia is waiting for the proclamation of the ennobling message of Michael, unencumbered by the accumulated doctrines and dogmas of nineteen centuries of contact with the religions of evolutionary origin. The hour is striking for presenting to Buddhism, to Christianity, to Hinduism, even to the peoples of all faiths, not the gospel about Jesus, but the living, spiritual reality of the gospel of Jesus. 94:12.7
Now is the time to help us help others discover Jesus.
Analytics
Here is a screen shot of our new analytics dashboard that Gabriel created. It shows the results of our efforts over the past 12 months. As you can see, we are reaching thousands of people in a lot of countries in multiple languages.
REMEMBER: these results are the direct results of your donations and prayers. YOU helped build this and every person we have reached is only because of your support.
As a not-for-profit, we get a certain amount of free ads on Google. We pay $489 a month for a company called "Cause Inspired" to create and maintain our Google Ads campaigns but 85% of the traffic to our projects comes from these ads. This is another example of how we are using your donations to reach more and more people with this revelation. These are your donation dollars at work.
Merchandise
Our merchandise is now also available on Amazon! Imagine your favorite artwork from Discover Jesus as a framed and matted print hanging on your living room wall or printed on your favorite T-shirt or tote.
Please check out our store on the CFU website. If you don't see the particular print that you want, let us know and we can upload it for you. All proceeds go to support the ongoing CFU projects.
