Grateful for What Donors Had to Say
Bottom line up front:
Today is Giving Tuesday, a really big day for nonprofit ministries like SUMMIT. Later in this email I’m going to ask you to donate, but first I’d love to share some good things that have happened since last November.
If you want to skip all that, please consider giving by clicking here. But I hope you read on!
(If needed, you can change your email preferences here.)
Dear Reader,
Yesterday we shared what God has accomplished through Summit in 2023. I strongly recommend you read the numbers, but more importantly, what participants had to say by clicking here >
Impact Statements from 2023 Partners:
“I've been through a lot of leadership development in the secular world but haven't seen much offered by the Church to equip those who are leaders outside of the church (like regular believers who are leaders in our workplaces). I appreciate Summit's commitment to leadership development based on scripture & Christ's example of servant leadership. I'm thankful for the opportunity to support a ministry that fills this specific gap.”
- Anonymous SUMMIT partner
“I believe in the deep need for there to be people out there to call out and raise up leaders to strive for their fullest potential in positions of influence, a need to teach them how to learn & steward their gifts & talents, a need to help shape this generation & the next so that all voices are heard and valued around a table.”
- Leslie, SUMMIT volunteer
“We partner with summit ministries because we have seen how God uses wilderness ministry to form leaders and call them to deeper relationships with both Him and others.”
- TJ, a SUMMIT partner
A Special Ask:
As we prepare to move into our second year of ministry, we prayed over and set a goal to raise $10,000 through Giving Tuesday. Yes—that sounds like a lot, we think so too—but it's an amount that would greatly bless our ministry through the end of the year and set us up in 2024 to provide needed training & spiritual development. Would you please consider:
SHARE our Giving Tuesday link & graphic with your friends & family along with what you loved about your Summit Programs (see bottom of email for examples!)
PRAY with us to meet the goal God has placed in front of us & for God to raise up more volunteers in 2024.
Now, I truly don't share this to pressure or even guilt you, but to invite you into what God is already doing & to give you the opportunity, should you be looking for a nonprofit ministry to support as the year draws to a close.
On this day of global generosity & stewardship, thank you for considering SUMMIT Outdoor Leadership!
Yours in Christ,
Bryan + the Summit Outdoor Leadership Team
