Dear John:

Today is the day the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of St. Stephen, the first martyred who was stoned to death for his faith, described in chapters 6 and 7 in the Acts of the Apostles. 

This is appropriate falling as it does one day after the birth of Our Lord and Savior because it shows how close we are to persecution from the very act that redeemed the world.

They stoned Stephen because he had so successfully proclaimed the Good News.

In precisely the same way, C-Fam does not shrink from proclaiming the truths of the unborn child and the family at the UN and beyond. In precisely the same way have foreign delegations and powerful forces banded together to silence us.

But we will not be silenced. We will speak the truths of the faith in season and out of season. We will speak the truth no matter the consequences to our reputations, our finances, or any other thing.

We are in the final week of our campaign to close our 2018 budget gap. By the end of the year, we must raise $100,000. We have raised a paltry $8,000. Part of that is my fault as I have not been pushing as hard as I should!

Your donation will go to our UN program, which allows us to help UN delegations negotiate officials UN resolutions and treaties.

Your donation goes to our Washington DC program which assists us in helping Senate, House, and White House staff understand the threat to children and families overseas in U.S. programs.

Your donation goes to our legal program, our outreach to youth, our research program that is second to none in helping the pro-life world know what is really happening at the UN.

More than anything, your donation does to the Friday Fax, THE ONLY weekly source of pro-life and pro-family news coming out of UN headquarters in New York and goes to 300,000 readers in three languages all over the world.

We must close this budget gap or we may have to reduce programs. So, I ask you to pray right now, and give as much as you can.

We have only a few days to raise $92,000! We can do it!!!

Go to www.c-fam.org/donate and give as much as you can.

Yours in Christ in this Holy Season,

Austin Ruse
President
