Dear John,

I want to share with you something personal today. I realize that I’ve never told the backstory of my journey to being on the front lines of the fight for faith and freedom.

God’s divine providence aligned several people and events in my life to start First Liberty, a unique organization exclusively dedicated to defending religious liberty for all Americans.

And now as I look back over the last 35 years of defending our First Freedom, it’s clear to me that God wove together many moving parts. He made it possible for us to do the impossible; fight and win 9 cases at the Supreme Court.

But, John, none of that could have happened without your generous support.

And because of your support and God’s favor, we’ve changed the landscape of religious freedom for all people of faith in America.

You and I know that our wins at the Supreme Court have only been possible because God had been directing us since the beginning.

Watch this video below to learn how God called me to this fight and why I’m more hopeful than I have ever been for the future of faith and freedom.

The future of faith in America is bright. We have a Supreme Court that understands the importance of our First Freedom and has a wiliness to reverse the bad precedents of the past.

We’ve seen the courage of the Court through the Kennedy, Carson and Groff decisions. The justices have reversed over 50 years that limited our ability to live out our faith.

The Court is ready, willing and able to return our First Freedom back to what our Founders intended. But to take advantage of this rare opportunity to expand faith in America, we must be in the best financial position possible.

As we come to our fiscal year end, I have to tell you that this had been a difficult year. Religious hostility is on the rise which means more and more people need our help.

And you know we fight as long as it takes to win for our clients. And we do it without ever sending them a bill.

Costs are also on the rise. Truth be known, the price of freedom has never been higher.

It’s critical for us to replenish our resources if we are to continue fighting for our clients.

That’s why a new donor came forward and added another $100,000 to our Challenge Grant.

Now, you can have an even greater impact with your best gift. Our $500,000 Challenge Grant makes your gift go even further than ever before.

But to take advantage of this giving opportunity, you must make your best gift by June 30th.

The legacy of First Liberty calls every American to stand bravely on the frontlines to defend our sacred freedoms. And we can’t win the war without your support.

Will you stand with me and all our attorneys on the frontlines of the fight for freedom?

We are one week away from Sunday June 30th, so I wanted to make sure you take advantage of this special $500,000 Challenge Grant before it’s too late.

Together, we can fight for what matters most in 2024.

Yes, I will make a gift today!

Grateful for you, 

Kelly
