Halftime Institute to Join Forces With Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Investor
ALLEN, Texas, August 12, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The strategic merger of Halftime Institute with Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Investor marks a significant milestone in the journey of both organizations. By joining forces, Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Investor and Halftime aim to create a comprehensive ministry that supports leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors who want to align their faith, purpose, and stewardship of resources and talents. The merger amplifies a shared mission to empower individuals to make an impact in solving some of the world’s greatest problems.
Karen Hung, Board Member of Halftime, celebrates the timeliness of this merger:
“Just over three years ago, Jim Stollberg and Tom McGehee, Co-CEOs of Halftime, developed a new vision for the ministry to have a greater impact than ever,” Karen said. “When they met with Faith Driven Co-Founders Justin Forman and Henry Kaestner, they realized God had given both ministries the same vision to transform leaders and equip them to live out their calling like never before.”
Justin Forman says the influence of Halftime founder Bob Buford runs deep in the leadership of both ministries:
“Halftime has helped a generation of business leaders discover how God might be calling them to see things differently,” Justin said. “There are countless stories and multipliers of this influence we’ve encountered on Faith Driven video shoots in Brussels, Singapore, London and so many places in between.”
Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Faith Driven Investor is a global community that operates in 100+ countries to inspire, connect, and equip faith-driven entrepreneurs and investors around the world. Halftime Institute is a globally renowned organization dedicated to helping high-capacity leaders pursue purpose and impact.
The merger is expected to be completed by the end of 2024 with integration efforts already underway. Both organizations are committed to a seamless transition and are enthusiastic about the new opportunities this merger will create for their members and the broader community.
Key Highlights of the Merger:
- Comprehensive Programs and Resources: The ministries will offer an enriched suite of programs, resources, coaching, and mentorship that features the best of both. This includes the proven methodologies of Halftime, renowned for guiding individuals through transformative life transitions, and the robust content and entrepreneurial and investment frameworks of Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Investor that have served 18,000 entrepreneurs and investors in groups in over 100+ countries.
- Proven Leadership and Expertise: The merger combines decades of experience and expertise from the collaborative leadership team.
