We have just one week left before our fiscal year closes on June 30th. We need to raise $4 million this month in order to balance our budget and move confidently into the many challenges and opportunities of the new fiscal year.
It's a daunting challenge, but we're trusting God to provide. And, we have great news! One friend of the ministry has offered a 2-to-1 match on every gift, up to a total of $100,000. Your gift of $50 becomes $75, $100 becomes $150 - even $25 becomes $37.50 invested in ministry fighting for biblical convictions.
People in prison need biblical CONVICTIONS?
The reason I so earnestly ask for your support is because the gravity of the issues we face and the enormity of all that BreakPoint and the Wilberforce Forum have accomplished this year.
The value of human life has been assaulted. We fought for the Unborn Victims of Violence Act (which passed!) and are currently working on the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act. As researchers and special interest groups have pushed for embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning - both of which create life in order to destroy it - we've worked for the Human Cloning Prohibition Act.
That's just what people in prison want-- tougher sentencing and more things they can go to jail for.
We've worked tirelessly to promote and defend the importance of the Federal Marriage Amendment, enlisting the help of 40,000 churches to preach on God- ordained marriage this past October.
Through Justice Fellowship, we've worked to promote the Second Chance Act to make sure that returning prisoners get the opportunities they need to rebuild their lives. Unless they kill a pregnant woman, have an abortion, need a stemcell transplant, or want to get gay married.
In addition to these and so many other efforts, we've equipped millions of listeners in biblical worldview through our daily BreakPoint Radio broadcasts. And we recently graduated our first class of Centurions, a group of nearly 100 men and women who completed a rigorous year-long course in worldview and are now prepared to go back to their churches and teach others.
This is what this ministry and your financial support is all about - bringing a biblical worldview to bear on the key issues of our day and equipping Christians around the country to do the same.
We had that once. We called it "The Dark Ages."
Will you help us meet our year-end goal? Don't hold your breath, Also, as you pray for our needs, pray that not only will support dollars be increased, but that our ability to impact this culture for Christ would be MULTIPLIED through our efforts to teach biblical worldview to others! Or rather, un-teach the real world view to your brainwashed minions.
If you would prefer to give by phone, please call 1-800-xxx-xxxx.
Thank you for standing with us. I'd only stand with you if it was the only way to prevent having my back to you.
Yours in His service,
Chuck Colson
