Abort73.com Matching Challenge update
This is from Abort73.com's e-mail update today:
Gift Matching Update
Two weeks ago I told you about the incredible offer made to us by a young and extremely generous family. Responding to the fact that giving to Abort73 had declined for four months in a row, they offered to match, dollar for dollar, whatever money comes in this month from first-time donors, all the way up to $10,000. I shared a portion of their email in the last update, but I want to highlight part of it again:
[Our] hope and prayer in offering to match only first-time givers is that this would cause all of the Abort73 lovers out there to tell everyone they know about Abort73 -- that a thousand might tell ten thousand, that your regular support base might grow, and that Abort73 would change more and more hearts for the sake of the unborn...
With a few days left in the month, we have so far received just over $2,000 in first time donations. All told we've received $6,680 this month. If we include the $2,000 that will be added via the gift matching offer, it puts at $8,680 for the month. That's significantly more than the $4,500 we received in September, but still a ways short of October's target budget ($12,607). For a more detailed budget breakdown, visit Abort73.com/budget. With a few days left in October, there is still an $8,000 window of opportunity which, if met, would actually bring in $16,000. If you've never given to Abort73, but believe in the work we're doing and the influence we're having, there may never be a more strategic opportunity for you to make that first donation. Whether it's $10 or $1,000, every gift makes a difference, especially this month. Also, please join us in focused prayer through the end of the month. I confess that with all that's been going on this October, I haven't been on my knees nearly enough. Let's plead for God's blessing as we come to the end of the month. Eight thousand dollars is a daunting amount from our perspective, but is as nothing for the power and provision of God.

Abort73.com isn't supported by selling t-shirts. It's supported by God through your prayer and giving. Now is an excellent time to give strategically for double the impact.
"Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:17-19
