The Bible is full of nice promises (Jeremiah 29:11 is a great example), but Jesus makes a hard one that really hit home in 2025: 

“and you will be hated for my name’s sake.” (Matthew 10:22a)

It’s been a crazy journey over four-and-a-half years to see how God has elevated this ministry from its infant stages to now as unquestionable the most impactful Christian organization engaged in the policy space in Georgia. With the rise in prominence, however, has come a rise in “hatred” against us.

The Southern Poverty Law Center labels us a “hate group” because we advocate for the value of every human life and the protection of God’s design. Leftist legislators take to the microphone at the Capitol and go to their social media pages to complain about and blast me and this organization. Activists rage against Frontline and send threats our way.

All because we Raise the Standard for Christ in the public arena.

Can we count on you to stand with us as we engage the battle right here in Georgia?

Those that oppose us are raising hundreds of millions of dollars from around the country. Their religion of secularism cares deeply about death, castrating and mutilating children, preserving one-size-fits-all education, silencing Christians, and taking full control of our state.

Do Christians care enough about life, protecting children, providing opportunity in education, speaking with public witness, and human flourishing to fight back?

As this year comes to a close, I have two overwhelming thoughts:

First, I am grateful. This has probably been the hardest year of my life (I’ve lived a blessed life so my challenges are very small compared to those of many receiving this email). The enemy has thrown many challenges our way, and I am so grateful to have a loving wife, amazing children, and dear supporters who have stood with and supported us through every obstacle. So many of you have truly embraced me, my family, and this ministry, and I am truly grateful.

Second, I am resolved. I have confidence in that clause in the verse referenced above “for my name’s sake.” I know that, while I’m flawed, what we are doing here at Frontline is for the love, glory, and exaltation of Christ and for the love of our neighbor (Mark 12:30-31). While this may make us hated, it is, nonetheless, our highest calling. We will do battle with our utmost and for His glory throughout 2026.

I humbly ask that you consider standing with us by making your best gift toward our end-of-year campaign.

In Christ,

Cole

Sometimes I get asked what our practical needs are. Let me share a few. In the coming weeks, we will…

1. Spend about $25,000 to complete our website, produce videos that engage more people with our ministry, and enhance our online outreach capacity.

2. Hire three positions to our team to help us at the Capitol, launch Frontline HQ, and expand our statewide network. As one can imagine, this represents a significant budget increase.

3. Announce our annual Run2Win event – which serves as a convening hub for key organizations and leaders around our state – as well as our other major events of the year.

4. Kick off the 2026 legislative session with more registered lobbyists engaging the cause of Christ than ever before.

As you can see, January won’t be cheap. Help us prepare for battle by making a tax-deductible contribution before the year is out!
