Your year-end gift will be doubled!

The $200,000 matching grant will double your gift to help PowerPoint reach our year-end goal by December 31st. Friend, Today I have some wonderful news that... with your help... will allow us to reach our $875,000 goal and impact the lives of more people with the Gospel. A generous supporter has stepped forward and offered to match any online gift you give by December 31st. This means whatever you are able to give by this date will be doubled—literally matched dollar for dollar—up to a total of $200,000. Such generosity will go a long way toward ensuring we hit our goal... and continue reaching people around the world with the sound biblical teaching and encouragement they need through PowerPoint broadcasts in 2011. You should know that every dime of the $200,000 matching grant will go directly to the cause of Christ and the work of Jesus Christ through PowerPoint. At the same time, please know that the grant must be fully met by December 31st or we lose whatever goes unmatched. That's why I'm praying you will give a generous online gift to be doubled by the matching grant—and help PowerPoint meet our year-end goal of $875,000. You and I have an amazing opportunity before us. A chance to give a "Christmas gift to the world" by helping bring the Good News to the hearts of more people who are in desperate need of salvation through Jesus Christ. Let's meet the year-end goal to the glory of God! Thank you, and God bless. In Christ, Jack Graham PowerPoint Ministries
