If it’s all right with you, I’d love to show you some photos to help communicate more about <church/ministry>, Reliant Mission, and my role with them.

This is me with some of the leaders from our campus church OR This is me and my wife and two sons. Like those who were there to reach out to me while I was on campus, I’m excited to be part of an organization like <church> that is reaching out to college youth at <University>.

In the campus environment, young people are beginning to make their own decisions for the first time. College students face a lot of problems today like depression, drugs, alcohol, pressure from their peers and sexual immorality, in an attempt to gain acceptance and fill a void. We are also seeing that more and more students do not come to campus with even a basic understanding of the gospel.

Communicate possible reasons for problems. However, make sure these are factual and believable.

Of course, as you and I know, only a relationship with Jesus Christ can fill that void. That’s why I feel very strongly and deeply about reaching out to young people, to show them God’s love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. I desire to help them develop a moral foundation with the hope and joy Christ has to offer. At <University> we can reach tomorrow's leaders. Imagine if during their time at school, they not only learned how to be a good engineer or teacher or businesswoman, but they also learned about Jesus while they were there. Then, we have the opportunity to send them out into the world to influence and help others come to know Jesus as well.

Thanks so much for your questions. I am so excited to be a part of this ministry... <Cast vision one last time before asking for partnership> (ex. "Like Jim was there for me when I was a student and desiring to understand the gospel, I want to be on campus at <university> to be there for those students and to help them to know and follow Christ with their life.)

The need for partnership.

But Mr. Jones, I can’t do this alone. Because I am Reliant. I am Reliant on the Lord for everything. And I am Reliant on people like you to team up with us at <university> to make these things possible. Students can’t afford to support the ministry of <org/church>; they can barely afford college. We need others who believe in us and our call to reach students like those at <University>.

Romans 10:14 states, ‘How can they call upon Him in whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can one preach unless he is sent?’ At <church>, we’re convinced of God’s call and are willing to do our part, but we need others on our ministry team to make this ministry happen.

Let me give you an analogy from Exodus 17. Maybe you remember the story. Moses, Aaron and Hur were overlooking a battle between the Amalekites and Israel. When Moses had his hands raised Israel would begin to prevail. But when his arms dropped from being tired, Israel would start to lose. Aaron and Hur, seeing that he was weak, held Moses arms and ultimately Israel won.

Who won the war? The soldiers? Moses? Aaron and Hur? It took a team working together to see victory. We see a team as a partnership that can make a difference in <location>.

Mr. Jones, let me tell you how you can help and be part of the team.

As I mentioned during our phone call, there are four ways we have often received help in our ministry.

We need true intercessors who will commit to praying regularly for <organization/church,> and our ministry at <University>. Some people are in a position to volunteer time or other goods and services, either directly in ministry or by assisting behind the scenes.

Another way we’ve been helped is, just as Mr. Smith suggested I get in touch with you thinking you might share our concern for students, there may be others you know who would love to hear about our ministry.

Lastly, a regular way we’ve been helped is through the generous giving of others. I’d like to ask you to consider giving to Reliant to partner with us in this way.
