            Double your Donation
          
        
      
      
        
          Ignite Your Match Campaign Ends December 2011
        
      
      
        An anonymous benefactor is matching every
      
      
        donation received at the prayer center this year, up to $1.7
      
      
        million. But, the opportunity to double your donation ends
      
      
        December 31! Reaching the $1.7 million goal
      
      
        
          completely
        
      
      
        
          pays
        
      
      
        our construction-related debt of $3.4 million! What a
      
      
        wonderful Christmas gift this would be for us all and a great
      
      
        new way to greet 2012.
      
      
        Through generous donors such as yourself, a portion of
      
      
        the goal has already been met. But in all honesty, we still have
      
      
        a long way to go. Please consider making your contributions
      
      
        or pledging your financial support before year’s end. Here are
