Subject: America's families are depending on you
Dear Friend of the Family,
This is the most critical letter you may ever receive from AFA for two reasons.
The future of our nation and our families now rests with you and other Christian activists.
Your AFA is facing a financial emergency. In the last two months we have had to pull $500,000 from our reserves, seriously depleting them. If we go another two months like this, we will be in a serious financial crisis.
Your help is urgently needed today!
I’m not exaggerating about either reason, but let me share with you background information concerning the first.
A few weeks ago I called together a meeting of 50 leaders of large pro-family organizations like your AFA. A sense of extreme urgency was present throughout those meetings. There was intense prayer. We sought God’s guidance and strength. And in the end, we were all of one mind:
The outcome of the fight AGAINST so-called "homosexual marriage" and FOR marriage as divinely ordained by God – the union of one man and one woman – will determine whether the United States survives as a nation blessed by God!
Make no mistake: I firmly believe that if we lose this fight, America's culture war is over!
For the sake of our children and all who come after us, WE MUST WIN THIS BATTLE!
Please continue to support AFA’s uncompromising opposition to the legalization of "homosexual marriage."
For years, your AFA has been one of the few that confronted the "gay rights" agenda.
We did not do so out of hatred or a sense of self-righteousness, but to bring our country back to the Judeo-Christian morality in which it flourished for over 200 years.
At this moment in history, God has called your AFA to be a modern-day prophet, proclaiming God’s truth, though many hate us for it.
Our resistance to same-sex "marriage" will not be easy. Powerful forces in the government and the news and entertainment media have allied themselves into a mighty homosexual propaganda machine.
We stand in a distinct minority against such power and influence.
We have few allies in government. We have few champions in Congress or in our state legislatures. We have but a handful of friends in Hollywood. We have no Dan Rather in the news media to promote our cause. And we have little voice in our public schools.
All we have is EACH OTHER ... and our unwavering TRUST IN GOD!
That's why your active membership in AFA has never been more important.
For my part I promise to continue to give you my all. I will continue to make sure your contributions and membership fees go to fight the fight.
AFA's annual independent audit shows that we spend 92% of our budget waging the war against immorality and indecency, with only 4% being spent on administration and 4% on fundraising. That’s a stewardship record I’m proud of.
Please continue to PRAY for me and for our AFA ministry. Ask God to give us the wisdom and courage, as well as the necessary gifts to see us through this difficult financial time.
Thank you and may God bless you.
Sincerely,
Don
Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association
