About Me

The Story Of
Calling

A personal story of calling, surrender, and the faithful journey behind Generosity Monk.

The Defining Moment

“On 26 June 2009, during a quiet day of prayer, Gary discerned that God was not calling him to do something, but to be something: the Generosity Monk.”

That moment gave language to a calling that had been forming through research, prayer, and service — the beginning of a life devoted to helping others understand generosity not merely as giving, but as faithful participation in the work of God.
