99 Dollars.

99 dollars is…

• A common internet and cable bill.
• 1/3rd the cost of an Xbox.
• 1/5th the cost of the cheapest iPad.
• 1/10th the cost of an average big-screen T.V.
• 1/20th the cost of an average piece of pottery barn furniture.

There is nothing wrong with spending your hard earned money on any of these good things that many of us enjoy.  But if you also find yourself looking for new or creative ways to spend your money on the kingdom of God, will you consider giving a one-time gift of $99 dollars or more to help me see hundreds if not thousands of college students challenged to give their lives to God’s global mission at Urbana 12?  Getting more students to Urbana 12 is an investment that will change countless lives.

Trimming the Fat

It’s election season and in anticipation of the Presidential debate tonight, I offer you this extremely factual invitation to sponsor student recruitment to Urbana 12.

Summary. If 30 of you sponsor me by giving a one-time gift between $99-$299 THREE great things happen:

• I get to stop stressing about my budget deficit and concentrate on recruitment!
• More importantly, I get to keep working toward seeing God’s kingdom come in and through the lives of college students.
• You make a great investment.  Sponsoring me to recruit students full-time helps mobilize hundreds if not thousands of students from all over the world to a faith growing, worldview expanding, life-changing experience.  

Practicals.

• I am a missionary to college students.
• My work is about recruiting students all over the country to Urbana.
• Me working = more students at Urbana.
• Too keep working towards this end, I need your help.

Urbana recruitment is a great investment.

• This is Urbana in two minutes: http://vimeo.com/32211849#

 Sponsor Urbana recruitment for $99-$299.

• Give one-time gift online now @ https://donate.intervarsity.org/donate/to/jordan_kologe
• After Urbana this December, I will send you the pictures and stories of three students who made life-changing decisions at Urbana.
• I will follow up with many of you personally over e-mail.

At Urbana in 2003, I committed to go on a summer mission trip.  I look back at that moment as the catalyst that led me all over the globe in subsequent years caring for people, sharing the gospel, growing as a man and a disciple, and which ultimately propelled me into full-time campus ministry.  I need your help to give this same opportunity to more students around the world.

I am sincerely grateful and humbled by your partnership, prayers, and consideration.
