A SHORT LETTER TO OUR FRIENDS

What a year! We miss you so much and wish we could hug you now. God has done so much this past year, and we can't wait to tell you all about it! There are so many testimonies of what He has been doing in our youth and all across the world. We feel so privileged to get to partner with Him and give our lives unto this purpose. For those who are partnering with us already, we are so incredibly grateful-- you keep us going and we are honored to run together!

We started the year with a College campus leaders gathering, then touring the College campuses of America with the message of prayer, fasting, and awakening. We've held two schools, our first online school, internship, and our annual Nazarite Intensive as training programs in Colorado Springs with students from Princeton, USC, UCLA, UC Berkley, UCSD, Liberty, and more. We doubled our staff members. Our team went to the Middle East (location cannot be disclosed) for a 2 week prayer strike and evangelism in an unreached nation. Our team did online trainings for youth in Canada and Mexico. 2 international leaders from Mexico joined us for a semester, we trained them and sent them back. We held our annual national conference, with hundreds of leaders Contend in Colorado fasting and praying for our nation. We led corporate prayer meetings every morning. We went and sent our team on weekend trips to 10 different regions training and equipping college students from the East to West coast. We trained and onboarded our staff members to launch our podcasts, YouTube series, and online series. Reached almost 4 million on tik Tok with prayers and the gospel. We had 7 young men join us for an internship this fall, 6 of which are staying with us. (and 1 we are launching out as a campus missionary). We have the strongest strategic team with the Collegiate Day of Prayer yet! We've been to Kansas, New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, Virginia, Tenessee, Arizona, Florida, and more.

CONTEND WEST AND CONTEND EAST

In Summer 2022, we are taking our Contend Gathering from COS to two great regions of America: NYC and LA. Contending for breakthroughs in the East and West could mean breakthroughs for the whole nation.We are inviting hundreds of young people from across the whole nation to gather at these two locations, seek God with prayer and fasting, sit under current revelation from esteemed teachers and prophetic voices, and expect breakthrough for America.

20 STATES + 80 CAMPUSES

In 2021, Contend is hitting the road! Our teams will be traveling to 80+ campuses in 20 states to spread the message of fasting and prayer until revival and missions. These tours will include training events, discipleship opportunities, catalytic gatherings, united prayer, and a call for young people to pursue the purpose of God in their generation. We are looking forward to continuing to impact thousands of young people in college campuses all across America!

ministry training and discipleship

In spring, summer, and fall of next year, we will be hosting 3 discipleship and training schools in Colorado Springs. Our Set Apart for Awakening (SAFA) School is the most intensive discipleship opportunity that we offer. Our students will be taught both in the classroom and through practical experience. They will be sent on tours on college campuses across America as well as international outreaches in the Middle East and Asia.

OUR GREAT NEED!!!

 END OF YEAR GIVING (ALL GIVING IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE FOR 2021!)

We are in a huge personal transition as we prepare to welcome our newborn into the world. With that comes great personal needs but also needed funds to adapt our lives with continued and expanding ministry roles.

ONE TIME GIFTS:
We need to raise $10,000 in one time gifts this next year specifically for ministry. These gifts are tax deductible and will go specifically towards ministry trips for 2022. This includes us leading a 30 Day Prayer strike in the Middle East, youth rallies, evangelism, and more. Next April and May, if Israel closes its borders we will be going to Iraq, Turkey, or Egypt instead ministering to youth, praying, and spreading the gospel along the Isaiah 19 Highway. In the unreached nations. We will also be ministering internationally in Mexico City to youth and raising up houses of prayers in South America. This also will fund our ministry trips to California, New York, and College campuses in such a dire time for prayer and fasting. We are leading many trips for rallies, solemn assemblies, and to train young people. We invite you to pray, and sow into the nations of the earth if you feel led! Give towards thousands being impacted, coming to Jesus, and starting houses of prayers. This is a Holy opportunity to sow into what God is going to do!

MONTHLY GIVING:
We are still in great need of monthly partners. Our goal is to raise an additional $1250/month to be sustained this next year. We are able to live very frugally and still need funding, especially since we were not able to support raise during Covid.
If you currently support us, THANK YOU! We are funded solely by the financial support of people like you, we do not take a salary from the ministry. We fully believe in partnership, and do it together, all of the above is made possible by you.

If you are not currently giving monthly, any amount helps tremendously and is tax deductible! You can sign up below, or we would love to cast vision through a zoom call or send you a packet in the mail.


YOUR PRAYERS!
Above all, we need and covet your prayers. We will be giving birth next Spring along with continuing in full time ministry together. (Registry coming soon!) Please pray for us as you feel led, we need His grace and strength to do His will!
