advertising with us [shameless marketing]

who are you trying to reach?

[email us]

ginkworld is a diverse, open and expressive community that is growing each and every week.  from our humble starts as a free page, we have grown to a community reaching more people then we ever figured would happen.  as our founder [john o'keefe] always says, "we were born out of a passion and rebellion; a passion for God and a rebellion of the status quo."  this idea is the central thought that helps guide who we are;  it tells us that we are first to seek to know who God is, and second to not simply do what everyone else is doing.  so, the question that guides is, "who do you desire to reach?"

if you are looking for a young, evolving, open, expressive and accepting people, think about placing an ad with us.  we have roman catholics, protestants [of all kinds], orthodox, neo-orthodoxy and we even have those would say they were "heretics" - but mostly, we have people seeking to walk a closer walk with God, and many of them defy boxes.

we have become a online, digital, interactive, interfacing, hyper-linked, connective, people and the best way to reach is is via the web - and we think ginkworld is just the place to reach out.
