Dear [insert recipient’s name],

[Personalize this first paragraph to make it sound like you!]

I want to bring you up to date on what is happening in my life. [Write a brief testimony.] As a result of everything God has done in my life, I want to continue to grow in my faith and learn how to tell others about the hope only found in the Gospel.  That is the reason I have decided to spend the next school year with a ministry called Momentous.

Momentous is a ministry that takes a comprehensive approach to faith and education. Momentous allows for an online education while providing a Biblically-based gap year experience.  Along with designated time to excel academically, I will have ample opportunities to experience the gospel and grow in my faith through Christ-centered discipleship, transformational community, and outdoor experiential ministry.  You can find out more about Momentous at www.momentous.world.

In order to make this possible, I need to develop a team of ministry partners.  I would like to invite you to prayerfully consider being a part of my prayer and financial support team for this amazing opportunity to pursue my education and grow in my faith.  I need to raise a total of $13,000 by August 1, 2023, which will cover all of my expenses for this program.  Would you prayerfully consider joining my team by giving a gift of $100, $200, $300, or some other amount? 

If you would like to join my support team, please make a check payable to Momentous and return it to me in the enclosed envelope.  I will try to give you a call in about a week to see what you have decided and to answer any questions that you might have. I greatly appreciate your prayers as I seek to follow the Lord by participating in Momentous. Thank you so much for your consideration in joining my team as I’m excited to see how the Lord works in and through me during this program.

Warmly in Christ,
