Dear John,
Imagine working your entire educational career to get into a top law school. But once on campus, you find out that your faith and values are not welcome.
To fit in, to succeed, to thrive, you feel like you only have two choices: stay silent or abandon who you are and what you believe.
It’s not much of a choice, is it?
This kind of hostility against Christian students has been going on for decades. ADF Founder Alan Sears experienced it firsthand when he was a law student in the 1970s.
That’s why Alan wanted to start a training program for the best and brightest Christian law students in the U.S. and around the world. A place where they could be encouraged, equipped, and connected with like-minded peers and accomplished professionals.
Thanks to God’s blessing and the prayers and financial support of people like you, this vision led to the creation of the Blackstone Legal Fellowship. |

When you support Blackstone, you support the next generation of Christian leaders
In its 20 years of existence, Blackstone has trained nearly 2,300 law students. These are some of the brightest minds in the next generation of legal professionals.
Many Blackstone interns go on to get competitive jobs in the private and public sector.
- Over 100 are in full-time legal nonprofit work.
- Several hundred work for federal, state, and local governments.
- A growing number are becoming law professors and business leaders.
Blackstone gives these students the education and tools they need to defend your constitutional freedoms, John—whether it be in the courtroom, in the halls of government, or in other leadership positions. |

Your gift will change lives – Help fund the largest Blackstone class yet!
“I felt so alone.”
That’s the resounding theme when students describe their pre-Blackstone education experience. But time after time, these students graduate Blackstone feeling reenergized in their passions and fully equipped to carry on the mission God called them to.
Over the next five weeks, we’ll be sharing some stories with you of Blackstone graduates and how the program has transformed their lives. These stories are sure to WOW you.
Blackstone is truly a life-changing experience for these law students. And you are a big part of that, John.
This year, we’re hoping to fund the largest Blackstone class yet with over 160 students.
It costs around $25,000 to fund one student. And there is no financial burden on the students who are chosen to attend. That’s why we need your help.
Generous ADF Ministry Friends who believe we must continue to train the next generation of leaders have donated a $200,000 grant to match your gift to support the Blackstone Legal Fellowship dollar for dollar. That means your gift today will be doubled—a $10 gift will become $20, a $100 gift will become $200, and a $1,000 gift will become $2,000.
But the match won’t last forever.
Please take advantage of this rare opportunity to double your gift right now. Because of the blessing of the match, your gift will have twice the impact to support the next generation of Christian leaders.
Thank you for your generosity. |
