Dear John,

Our great nation was founded with such hope and promise and blessed with abundant resources. But today, America stands at a point of crisis.

Daily headlines tell the story of a troubled and divided nation with an uncertain future:

• Hundreds of violent attacks against churches and pregnancy resource centers who dare to stand for life and biblical truth...
• Top military brass more concerned with pronouns and pride flags than preparing our Armed Forces to defend our nation in the midst of escalating global tensions...
• Parents being silenced for speaking up at school board meetings for calling out pornographic material in classrooms and school libraries...
• Medical professionals denying the science behind both unborn human life and the biological reality of male and female -- ready and willing to perform permanent, life-altering surgeries on children in the name of "gender affirmation."

In spite of these insane headlines, there are signs of hope.

After nearly half a century of nationwide legalized abortion-on-demand, last summer the U.S. Supreme Court finally had the courage and wisdom to reverse Roe v. Wade.

One thing President Biden has said is true: we are in a battle for the soul of our nation.

But as the apostle Paul wrote, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

It is time for believers to pray and to rise to the challenge of rebuilding our nation's foundations of faith, family, and freedom.

You can fill a vital role in this mission, John, when you stand with Family Research Council today.

Our critical fiscal year-end is fast approaching, and FRC must raise $4.3 Million before the June 30 deadline to meet our budget and be prepared to launch into the next year ready to seize opportunities for our shared biblical values.

For a limited time, your generous gift will have twice the impact thanks to friends of FRC who have offered a $1 Million Challenge Grant! Will you partner with us to rebuild our broken nation?

Last June's long-sought victory of overturning Roe v. Wade gives us tangible hope that when believers stand together -- praying, voting, and taking action -- we can make a difference.

The historic court decision returned the power to defend life to "We the People" through our elected representatives at the federal and state levels.

Make no mistake, there is clearly much more work to do. The pro-abortion lobby and their allies in the Biden administration, the Pentagon, Congress, the media, and elsewhere are trying to expand abortion in every way they can. And even some Republicans have seemed eager to abandon the pro-life cause, being more concerned with political consequences than protecting the unborn.

But, don't think for a moment that your actions and faithful support of FRC aren't making a difference!

Some reports estimate that over 32,000 fewer abortions were carried out in the first six months since Roe was thrown into the dustbin of history. That's approximately 5,000 babies saved each month!

Each of those lives and families impacted matter.

John, your support today is vital to help FRC continue educating Americans and policymakers on the biblical truth about life in the womb and the harms surgical and chemical abortions pose to mothers.

Where we end this fiscal year, sets the course for next year.

And you and I both know that leading into 2024, pundits and leftist politicians will attempt to fill the airwaves with lies and misinformation to push their agenda regarding not only abortion, but also gender, sexuality, Big Government, censorship of biblical viewpoints, and so much more.

We must infuse truth and facts into the public debate to ensure Americans understand what's really at stake, and to equip Christians to stand for biblical truth in their homes, schools, workplaces, communities, and at the ballot box.

FRC has the comprehensive strategies, research materials, biblical worldview resources, and communication channels to speak the truth... but we need partners like you to help us reach as many citizens as possible.

Will you rise to the challenge with FRC today to impact tomorrow?

I believe we can draw encouragement from one of my favorite books of the Bible: Nehemiah.

Next Monday, June 5, we'll start reading through Nehemiah in our Stand on the Word Bible reading plan, so I encourage you to get your family and friends to join in by signing up at frc.org/Bible now.

Although it's a short book, it is filled with history and practical applications for today. In fact, Nehemiah tells the true story of an amazing leader who motivated and mobilized his people to press through danger and difficulty to accomplish their monumental God-given mission.

It provides a template for those of us who want to see a shattered and scattered America not only rebuild and unify, but also experience revival and return to the God of our Founders.

That's why when you partner with FRC in this critical fiscal year end campaign with a minimum gift of $7, I want to gift you a digital copy of my new study guide, Nehemiah: Rebuilding A Nation, to encourage you to keep standing and to be like those persistent wall builders.

And don't forget, thanks to the limited-time Challenge Match, your gift of $7 will have the impact of $14, $25 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100, and $250 turns into $500!

I have faith that if enough of us will step up and step out, God will use us to impact our broken nation. Thank you for joining with FRC to rebuild the spiritual walls of our nation for the sake of the next generation!

Your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
