What is Guardianship?
When you become a Guardian, your charitable donation of USD $50 supports stewardship of a place beside the Sea of Galilee.
You receive a Certificate of Guardianship bearing your name and a unique identifier (beginning with GOM-A-00001 and beyond). That certificate is permanently registered in the Guardians of Magdala Registry.
This is not a real-estate purchase. It is a commemorative commitment: a charitable donation that records your name in a verifiable registry and supports heritage stewardship, certificate fulfilment, and the charitable mission.

The Story
Magdala stands on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, within the landscape where Jesus called disciples, taught, calmed a storm and walked on the water.
The Gospels do not identify the exact point on the lake where Jesus walked on the water. Magdala stands beside those same waters, in the living geography of His ministry.
Guardians of Magdala was created so that believers—especially across East Africa—can form a lasting, verifiable connection with this Gospel heritage: a certificate, a registry, and a path to invite others.
