| Dear Friend, At Building Church Leaders, our purpose is simple: to equip church leaders for mission. To assist them in advancing God's kingdom. This aligns with the heartbeat of Christianity Today—the ministry that we're part of. Since its founding 65 years ago, CT has sought to demonstrate a faith that's humble and heroic. Thoughtful and sacrificial. And that follows the example of Christ in bringing grace and truth into the world. Don't we need this more than ever today? Imagine a world where the beautiful things Christians are doing takes center stage. Where generations of believers are challenged and inspired by a captivating vision of what it means to be a follower of Christ. And where congregations and their leaders find the practical help they need to engage and transform the world around them. Together, we can make that happen. I humbly invite you to join our annual Week of Giving next Monday, October 11. In the past twelve months—because of partners like you— we've:
Equipped countless church leaders to faithfully lead their congregations during the pandemic. Shared inspiring stories of how Christians have responded to COVID around the planet. Developed fresh yet practical tools and resources for leaders to faithfully fulfill their ministry. Hosted relevant webinars that have articulated a vision for kingdom life and ministry today. Launched podcasts like The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill that help the church to better love. We’re asking you to give $50, $100, or whatever you can to reach new audiences and emerging generations with the most transformative stories and ideas of the kingdom of God. In fact, perhaps you can make a special gift this year, to honor Christianity Today's founding by Billy Graham 65 years ago this month. So please save the dates—October 11-15—and join our ministry’s most important week of the year. Today through the Week of Giving, your gift will be doubled dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000—thanks to a generous ministry partner. |
