NEW match – act fast – ends midnight tomorrow

An additional $15,000 Matching Grant was just offered—but you need to act fast.
 

The Daily Hope Team
juonec4dmodels.poster@blogger.com,

In one of my all-time favorite Bible verses, the apostle Paul says that God is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20 NIV). And he’s done it again!


Thanks to your generosity we fully matched the $50,000 grant I told you about earlier this month. And I just received word that an additional $15,000 Matching Grant has been offered. We only have a little more than 24 hours to meet this new grant, so if the Lord leads you to give for the first time or to give again, I would be so grateful.

So right now, every dollar you give to Daily Hope will be doubled up to the full amount of the match to reach more people with the Gospel. But we only have until midnight on June 30th to meet this new match.

Please, take a moment to make the most generous donation you can right now—and share the life-changing, heart-transforming hope of Jesus Christ with even more people.

Blessings,

Pastor Rick
DOUBLE my gift! >>
Pastor Rick
