Dear John,

As Family Research Council celebrates its 40^th Anniversary, we are actively preparing for the next 40 years to accelerate our influence and turn the tide in America.

Here's how -- together -- we can make a lasting impact...

For decades, we have witnessed a clash of worldviews in America: the secular Left rejecting moral absolutes versus Christians who understand there is true truth and seek to follow the Word of God with a resolve to stand for biblical truth.

Thankfully, there is a remnant of courageous men and women who desire to see our country return to its biblical foundation.

At FRC, we identify this group as SAGE Cons (Spiritually Active, Governance Engaged Conservative Christians). FRC's Senior Research Fellow and renowned Christian researcher George Barna developed this name to encapsulate this segment of the population that makes up 9 percent of U.S. adults (approximately 23 million people).

SAGE Cons understand they have a biblical responsibility to infuse Christ into every dimension of our culture: education, politics, family, business, and media. This group of believers pray, vote, and take action informed by their biblical convictions.

Recent elections show this small but engaged segment of the population can have a major impact.

But there are also another 36 million semi-SAGE Cons who make up an additional 14 percent of the population. These are faith-driven Americans whose faith does not fully guide their engagement in culture and government, including at the ballot box. We must reach these believers and strengthen their biblical worldview and understanding of their responsibility.

These two groups combined make up a subgroup of 59 million Americans - nearly 23 percent of the population.

FRC's focus is on reaching these Americans, challenging them to be salt and light in our dark world. Will you help accelerate our plans to reach this influential demographic?

With your partnership, FRC can further advance and defend biblical truth in our society, impacting our nation for years to come.

Looking ahead, FRC is ready to help turn the tide in America by equipping SAGE Cons and Semi-SAGE Cons to reclaim our cherished freedoms with vigor and without fear.

FRC's 3 step solution is to educate, resource, and mobilize the 59 million SAGE Cons and semi-SAGE Cons in America through our multi-faceted communications strategy.

• EDUCATE

FRC is discipling and training up believers with a biblical worldview and foundation through our Stand on the Word Bible reading plan and devotional materials, Stand Courageous men's ministry, Center for Biblical Worldview resources, video series like "Now We Live" and "Prepare to Stand," and resourcing pastors to preach the whole counsel of God's Word.

• RESOURCE

FRC is working to bypass the cancel culture and mainstream media to inform believers on what's really happening regarding faith, family, and freedom through our flagship Washington Watch daily broadcast, The Washington Stand news outlet, nationwide simulcast events like the annual Pray Vote Stand Summit, creating new content and podcasts, and building a state-of-the-art studio in Louisiana, which will provide more opportunities and a larger platform for like-minded allies to reach the SAGE Con world.

• MOBILIZE

FRC is mobilizing these believers to pray, vote, and stand through communicating public policy in a way that changes hearts and minds, reaching the next generation, equipping pastors through our Association of Churches and Ministries to lead their congregations, promoting school choice, advocating for parental rights, championing the constitutional right of believers to live out their faith, and educating leaders across our nation to defend free speech and religious liberty in the public square.

Utilizing these three strategies, FRC will reach different audiences within the SAGE Con demographic: pastors, congregants, elected officials, school board leaders, parents, young adults, and more. And we will ensure no Christian stands alone when they come under fire for their faith.

Together, let's protect our God-given freedoms and keep the doors open for the gospel!

In his letter to the Christians in Philippi, the apostle Paul wrote: "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now" (Philippians 1:3-5, NIV).

Paul's words "partnership in the gospel" reminds me of all God had done through the prayers and financial investment of FRC supporters like you, John.

We celebrate Family Research Council's 40^th Anniversary with you in mind. But Paul continues, "Being confident of this, that he who has begun a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6, NIV). What an encouraging and hopeful message then and now.

Thank you for your partnership. Now, let's maximize our influence and impact for righteousness' sake as we stand together and, empowered by God, turn the tide in America for faith, family, and freedom for future generations.
