科罗拉多祈祷之家开展创新筹款活动，购买柯林斯堡历史悠久的老石头教堂

由布莱克·布什牧师领导的教堂已采用区块链技术对教堂进行代币化，旨在为此次收购筹集 250 万美元。

The Colorado House of Prayer is using blockchain technology in an innovative fundraising campaign to purchase the historic Old Stone Church in Fort Collins.

科罗拉多祈祷之家正在一项创新的筹款活动中使用区块链技术来购买柯林斯堡历史悠久的老石教堂。

Led by Pastor Blake Bush, the church has created a tokenized chapel, aiming to raise $2.5 million for the acquisition. Inspired by a spiritual experience, Bush said, "I heard the Lord say, ‘tokenize the building.’"

在布莱克·布什牧师的领导下，该教会创建了一座代币化教堂，旨在为此次收购筹集 250 万美元。受到精神体验的启发，布什说：“我听到主说，‘将这座建筑标记化。’”

The Old Stone Church, known for its distinctive stone exterior, has been a significant landmark and a spiritual home for the congregation and other affiliated church groups.

老石教堂以其独特的石头外观而闻名，一直是会众和其他附属教会团体的重要地标和精神家园。

The tokenization process involves creating a digital asset, named "Chapelcoin," which represents fractional ownership of the chapel.

代币化过程涉及创建一种名为“Chapelcoin”的数字资产，它代表教堂的部分所有权。

This digital asset is tied to a real estate token created by REtokens and operates on the Polymesh private blockchain. By dividing the building into digital shares, the church allows investors to purchase these shares, thereby contributing to the fundraising goal.

该数字资产与 REtokens 创建的房地产代币绑定，并在 Polymesh 私有区块链上运行。通过将建筑物划分为数字份额，教堂允许投资者购买这些份额，从而为筹款目标做出贡献。

To date, the project has secured approximately 50% of its funding goal and is currently on the lookout for more investors.

迄今为止，该项目已完成约 50% 的融资目标，目前正在寻找更多投资者。

The church plans to open up token sales to individuals outside the congregation, including non-parishioners. While this decision could potentially expose the church to the risk of outsiders gaining control of the tokens, Pastor Bush remains unfazed.

该教堂计划向教会以外的个人（包括非教区居民）开放代币销售。虽然这一决定可能会使教会面临外部人控制代币的风险，但布什牧师仍然不担心。

When asked about the possibility of unwelcome groups acquiring tokens, Bush quipped, "Let's introduce you to Jesus."

当被问及不受欢迎的团体获取代币的可能性时，布什打趣道：“让我们向您介绍耶稣。”

This initiative not only aims to secure the Old Stone Church but also sets a precedent for future real estate tokenization projects.

这一举措不仅旨在保护老石教堂的安全，还为未来的房地产代币化项目树立了先例。

The success of this venture could pave the way for more organizations to explore blockchain technology as a viable fundraising tool.

该项目的成功可能为更多组织探索区块链技术作为可行的筹款工具铺平道路。

According to a report by the Global Financial Markets Association and Boston Consulting Group, the global value of tokenized illiquid assets is expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030.

根据全球金融市场协会和波士顿咨询集团的报告，到 2030 年，全球代币化非流动资产价值预计将达到 16 万亿美元。

The Colorado House of Prayer's innovative approach demonstrates how traditional institutions can embrace modern technology to achieve their goals, blending faith with fintech in a unique and impactful way.

科罗拉多祈祷之家的创新方法展示了传统机构如何利用现代技术来实现其目标，以独特且有影响力的方式将信仰与金融科技融合在一起。
