As we shared recently, we walked through one of those unexpected moments that test our faith. Our dear longtime friend and Board Chairperson went home to be with the Lord. Her passing created a significant financial gap for the ministry.

But God is faithful. His people have already begun stepping forward, and we are moving ahead with renewed hope and determination.

For more than ten years, we have invited a few faithful friends each summer to create a matching fund that encourages broader participation in our Summer Matching Gift Program. Today we are excited to launch this important season of provision once again.

This year our overall goal is $93,000. Because the matching fund is smaller than in previous years, we encourage you to give early so you can take full advantage of having your gift doubled, dollar-for-dollar.

To learn more about this special opportunity, please read Jim's letter: "Where Were You When?"

We also want to remind you of something special coming for Independence Day -- our very popular I Pray Radio patriotic and sacred audio celebration. We are excited to continue this meaningful tradition again this year. Streaming begins Friday, July 3 and continues through Sunday, July 5.

Thank you for praying with us today. Here is your Daily Prayer Briefing.
