- Hi, I'm Joni Eareckson Tada
and aren't you glad that Kingdom Ministry
is moving forward as we move ahead
up and out of COVID-19?
It's a time for Christians to be at their best.
And it's why I'm so happy to announce
our May Match Initiative.
Ta-da-da-duh-da-duh.
It's where your gift
toward Christ's Kingdom gets multiplied.
You see, during this time of uncertainty
and global pandemic you know the need
is greater than ever, and I am thrilled
that some very dear friends of this ministry
have graciously offered to match every dollar
you give this month.
That means every dollar has
twice as much ministry power.
Oh friend, this is such a unique opportunity
for your gift to be multiplied
and reach twice as many children and adults
suffering with disability around the world,
with the love of Jesus Christ.
This means that $50 becomes $100
and $100 becomes $200 and $1,000 becomes $2,000.
Wow, your prayers and gifts really do change lives.
While you might be experiencing isolation
and loneliness for the first time during COVID-19,
the families that we serve feel this every single day.
For children like Don from Thailand,
and Angela from Peru, who suffer, both of them,
from cerebral palsy, compromised immune systems
among other disabling conditions.
For them, just getting outside their home
is almost impossible.
These two children from opposite sides of the world,
both struggling with similar disabilities,
well, both of their lives and their families lives
were totally changed when they received
a much-needed wheelchair.
And most importantly, the gospel message
and a bible in their own language.
Now that is truly multiplying ministry
for the Kingdom of Christ.
Our goal this year is, okay, we wanna raise
$500,000 this month and once matched,
that is $1 million of Christ-honoring,
life-giving ministry.
And here's how it works: just go to the link below
on our Joni and Friends website
and click on the donate button
and thank you for your prayers and your gifts today.
'Cause even during this pandemic we continue
to share hope through every hardship
to people struggling with disability around the world,
so thank you for praying, thank you for giving
and thank you for being a part
of our May Match Initiative.
