Dear John,

When it comes to giving and investing in ministry opportunities, we know you have many options. Our only request is that you consider the opportunity we give you and responds as God leads.

Do you believe as we do that marriage, families, unborn babies, and our religious freedom in Wisconsin are vitally important and transcend whatever is going on politically? If so, we invite you to support our work right now.

We deal with BIG issues, we have some Big Goals, but together we serve an even BIGGER GOD! 

As your voice for your values, it is critical that we enter the new year in as strong of a financial position as possible so we can build on the successes of this past year.

In summary, here are what we are calling our Top 10 accomplishments your gifts and prayers made possible in 2020.  Thanks to your investment, together we…

10)  Helped increase the conservative majority in the state Senate.  (Several of our PAC endorsed candidates won.)  
9)    Helped hold a strong conservative majority in the state Assembly. (Again, several of our PAC endorsed candidates won.)
8)    Significantly impacted the 2020 election making nearly 500,000 unique conservative voter contacts and influenced over 20,000 voters, who have a history of NOT voting regularly, to pledge to vote in this past election.
7)    Launched LEAD WI, our premier world-view training summer camp built on a civics platform for youth ages 13-19.
6)    Added an additional staff member to the Church Ambassador Network to be able to call on and minister to even more pastors and churches.
 
(Yes, there are more… but we wanted to give you an opportunity to make a year-end gift to build on these important accomplishments! You can give securely online RIGHT HERE.)

5)    Served over 700 Wisconsin churches, by, among other services, providing educational election-related materials to them.
4)    Launched “Lunch with a Purpose,” a series of free lunch-time ZOOM events giving participants the opportunity to hear from well-respected Christian speakers and leaders regarding cultural issues of the day. Participants were educated, inspired, and challenged to be salt and light as we live out our faith in daily life.
3)    Held Governor Evers accountable when unconstitutional virus-related restrictions were put on churches for Easter weekend services and celebrations. 
2)    Hosted our first-ever candidate forum, inviting candidates for the WI Supreme Court this past spring. This was held in partnership with DaySpring Church in Pewaukee.
1)    Expanded our volunteer base by more than 400 new active volunteers! Our volunteer partners multiply our effectiveness and efficiency on key tasks!
 
Your support now helps us be ready for a year that will have its own unique challenges, starting with what is likely to be a tumultuous new legislative session beginning in early January.
 
My friend, great challenges and opportunities are ahead of us. THIS MOMENT in time is one of those opportunities! Like Esther of old, we are all here “for such a time as this.”
 
NOW is the time to build on our recent accomplishments to achieve all God would have for us in 2021. And we know this can only be done through your support and prayers and by God’s great grace. 
 
Join us, as together we continue this great mission, with Big Goals, but serving an even BIGGER GOD!
 
For families,
 
Julaine Appling
President

PS: Your year-end gift now will help us build on the accomplishments of 2020 and ensure we have more historic and meaningful accomplishments in 2021. Thank you for your prayerful consideration!
