About Ginger S MacDonald

Ginger Sinsabaugh MacDonald, Executive Director, TastyFaith

TastyFaith was created by Ginger Sinsabaugh MacDonald, who sorta left advertising to help youth leaders and outreach programs create a craving for Christ with the non-believer. Ginger was frustrated that the average dog food commercial was more memorable than the typical Sunday sermon. She was also frustrated that Sprite, Nike, and MTV took urban teens more seriously than many Christian publishers.

Statement of Faith

In 2001, TastyFaith.com was founded to help urban youth leaders create a craving for Christ with high risk youth. Ginger talked to urban youth leaders across the country while writing HELP! I'M AND URBAN YOUTH WORKER and realized that city teens everywhere were facing the same issues (gangs, teen pregnancy, broken homes, lack of education). Ginger started creating fresh lessons for urban youth ministry and made those urban resources available to other youth workers at this website. Now, TastyFaith materials are being used by urban outreach programs across the country.

Ginger's Background. For the past 20 years, Ginger has split her time in Chicago between advertising and urban youth ministry. She has worked with Snap! Crackle! Pop! as well as Michael Jordan as well as gobs of urban youth. She has written everything from award-winning commercials to those box backs you read during breakfast.

In 1996, Ginger realized that there was much more to life than Snap! Crackle! Pop! Ginger took a leave of absence from advertising to work with teens in London and Bulgaria. Once she returned to Chicago, Ginger walked away from her job and title at a major ad agency, a decision which deeply moved to management. She then worked at smaller firms on a limited time basis, in order to devote more time to inner city youth ministry and write her first book, ACT NOW! . Currently, Ginger devotes her time writing TastyFaith curriculum for urban youth ministry, speaking and consulting. Her day job? She is is a creative director working for America's Dairy Farmers. So when you're not praising the Lord, drink your milk!

Ginger's Testimony Ginger grew up in a small farm town in Southwestern Michigan that had more cows than people. Ginger made Christ the heart of her life during her final weeks at Michigan State University in 1983, due to the impact a dorm resident had on her life. This young lady presented Christ to Ginger as somethingyou want, instead of something you need. Though Ginger cannot remember this Christian girl's name, she has not forgotten the impact she has had on her life. Ginger is married and lives with her husband Jeff in Chicago. They enjoy eating Tootsie Rolls, and attending Phildadelphia Church, which is ironically, in Chicago.
