December 31st Email and Text Blast
A well-written email and text message can generate hundreds and thousands of dollars if it is done well. Here are two samples for your consideration. I recommend keeping the message short and providing multiple links to your giving portal.
Subject line: What does 83% mean for Our Church?
Dear ______________,
83%. According to a study by the International Bible Society, that is the percentage of all Christians who commit to Jesus between the ages of 4 and 14. Studies have found that those aged 19 and over have a 6% probability of becoming Christians.
Our Church is passionate about reaching children for Christ! Every time you give, you help us reach children. Your gift right now can help us fully fund our children’s ministry right now. It’s easy to give by simply clicking on this link http://ourchurch.org/give. Insert your giving link.
As we approach the end of the year, I want to assure our children and student workers that their ministries will have all the funds they need, not simply to end this year but to start the next. Your sacrificial gift will give everyone in our church an opportunity to invest in the next generation. If there is hope for America, it is in reaching the next generation for Christ!
You can give now by going to http://ourchurch.org/give. Insert your giving link.
Thanks for helping us reach this 83% window of opportunity with your generous gift. Together we will make a difference!
Blessings,
Your Pastor
