40 may 2025 www.goodnewsfl.org Good News • South Florida Edition COMMUNITY NEWS $ StrikeForce Giving (previously known as StrikeForce 421) is a Christian women’s giving circle dedicated to supporting local faith-based ministries. They have experienced remarkable growth, increasing their membership by 30% and distributing $275,000 to eight ministries — double the number funded in previous years. Since its inception, StrikeForce has united women passionate about collective giving, demonstrating the power of faith and philanthropy to transform lives in our local community. This year’s growth marks a significant milestone, reinforcing the organization's mission to reach 300+ members and award $1 million annually to ministries making a difference in South Florida. "This year’s incredible growth is a testament to the power of collective generosity," said Christine Auker, President of StrikeForce. "More women are coming together to make a tangible impact, ensuring that local ministries have the resources to serve their communities effectively — in turn making a collective impact on the region of South Florida and beyond." As part of its expansion, StrikeForce has launched a rebranding initiative, introduced a new digital marketing strategy, and expanded leadership roles to include a Membership Chair and Stewardship Chair. The organization has also strengthened its operational infrastructure by contracting a full-time Program Director, implementing QuickBooks for financial management, and adopting a new CRM system to enhance membership engagement—all in an attempt to keep up with the work God is doing in and through their ministry. Looking ahead, StrikeForce aims to continue its momentum by increasing sponsorships, fostering new church partnerships, and inspiring more women to join the movement of faith-driven philanthropy.
