Our History

Gary and Drenda have spent the last 25 years on a journey to help people win in life. Faith Life Now was born in 2004 out of the Keesee’s desire to share their own mistakes and lessons with others. As the CEO of his own financial company, Gary’s expertise is practical financial concepts coupled with spiritual truth. Drenda’s ability to intimately share their testimony comes from her love for the family and her desire to help others avoid the hardships they went through.

The Keesees were a typical American family in their early years: near bankruptcy and desperate for answers. Through searching the Word of God, they found that the principles of the Kingdom are real and have power to cause change. They became debt-free, founded the Christian financial planning business Forward Financial Group in 1988 and started pastoring Faith Life Church in 1994. Forward Financial Group is one of Gary's businesses, specializing in the Practical Plan to Financial Freedom for individuals and businesses.

Today, Faith Life Now comprises Financial Revolution Conferences all around the U.S. and the world; a weekly television program; and one-on-one financial ministry through which over 100,000 families have personally benefited thanks to the "Practical Plan to Financial Freedom".
