Dear Friends –

It is GIVING TUESDAY and the full month of December - we want to invite you to partner with Christians Engaged for our 2022 budget either as a monthly donor or a one-time donor today.

Read below everything we have accomplished in just 2 short years and join us as we expand nationally into 2022. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW!

Check out our recently published book called VOTE: YOUR BIBLICAL GUIDE TO THIS SACRED RESPONSIBILITY.

As missionaries to America - we are impacting hearts and minds on prayer, voting, and engagement - registering Christians to vote and educating them on biblical values as it relates to our civic duties.

In just 2 short years, Christians Engaged has had:

67 church appearances or strategic church partnerships speaking on prayer, voting, and engagement and registering voters

727 total students that have gone through one of our online or our in-person educational courses like our "On-Ramp to Civic Engagement" or our "Austin 101" class

270 speeches, media appearances, or online events by our team all over Texas and expanding to the nation

184 articles written and published on our CE website on prayer, voting, and engagement

4 books published for distribution and over 5000 sold or given away to educate and empower people in prayer, voting, and engagement

55 podcasts produced with educational conversations with elected officials, ministry leaders, and subject leader experts

50 Bible Studies taught connecting the Bible and prayer with the challenges we face each week

32,000 people around Texas and the nation interact with us on our email list or weekly text messages reminding them to pray and vote

465 registered for our first national CE conference

2 full time staff members funded

We have been able to do all of this incredible work in the last two years because of individual donors like you who help us with monthly donations or one-time gifts.

Will you help us EXPAND our efforts in 2022 on this Giving Tuesday?

We have a huge goal today and the coming month to expand our efforts in an important election year for our nation.

Here is how we are going to GROW in 2022.

  • Launch more sustainable and reproducible outreach operations around Texas with an outreach director, area leaders and volunteers

  • Produce 2 more training classes in 2022 on city government, school boards and Biblical "political" leadership like Nehemiah and Daniel and revamp our current "On-Ramp to Civic Engagement" class for a national audience.

  • Launch a revamped national podcast focused on the whole U.S.

  • Continue to grow church appearances, Saturday seminars and add “Awakening Nights” around the state

  • Grow our annual conference with even more impact

And a big announcement - WE ARE LAUNCHING CHRISTIANS ENGAGED IN PENNSYLVANIA IN JANUARY 2022 with an incredible team!!!!!!!

Join us as we awaken the CHURCH to the power of our voice in prayer, voting, and engagement for the wellbeing of our republic.

What does America need in this hour of history? America needs YOU! Your involvement.
