Dear Partner,  I consider all of you close friends, and would like to share with you the recent status of what is happening here at Teen Mania with the BattleCry movement. It seems like this is a season of both incredible favor and challenge. I would like to describe both to you. I wish we all could have been together in San Francisco to experience God move in the hearts of so many young people. Our event began on Friday night as we gathered together on the steps of City Hall for a heavily protested prayer rally. It continued on Saturday morning as we were required to worship via radio due to a "last minute" noise ordinance imposed against our event. By the time everything was finished, over 11,000 of the 22,000 attendees either committed or re-committed their lives to Christ. It was another powerful example that the Word of God cannot be silenced. This event also sparked some incredible media coverage across the nation as teens stood for their faith at City Hall - The O’Reilly Factor, New York Times, CNN Presents, Fox News, and ABC’s Nightline all reported on this event as well as multiple local affiliates. This event and the other 40 regional events we continue to do each weekend are part of our effort to do everything we know to do to reach teens for Christ through our Battle Cry campaign. We are so amazed at how God is using the BattleCry events to wake up teens to stand up for their faith to show millions of people across the nation that teens are in trouble and in need help. I wanted to share this exciting news with you, but also share the most challenging situation we have faced in our 20-year history. Passionately pursuing this generation with this BattleCry movement is taking significant investment. Where we used to do one stadium event every other year in addition to our weekly Acquire the Fire events, we are in the middle of completing six stadium events in two years. In addition to that, we have created so many tools for local churches to use to double the size of their youth group. We have invested so much money for this BattleCry movement to create this momentum that we have a severe cash deficit RIGHT NOW. We need significant help in order to keep going forward. 150,000 teens in the next 2 months will be impacted by our perseverance today, and to reach them, we must have your financial help now. I am emailing you today to ask if you would prayerfully consider helping us meet an immediate financial need that will enable us to continue the work of reaching a generation. Can I count on you to help us with a gift of $25, $50, or $100 so we can reach even more young people in this generation with the love of Christ? If you can help, please make a donation by credit card or Use PayPal to make your donation. Checks can be mailed to Teen Mania Ministries, PO Box 2000, Garden Valley, TX 75771. Given the urgency of this moment, I urge you to contact your local church leaders and ask them to take a special offering at church this week. Will you take a step right now to join us in rescuing teens? Forward this email to everyone you know and make a larger impact! Consumed by the Call,

It's so hard to pour into someone for a year and then see them go! I guess that's life here at Teen Mania though... I better learn to get used to it. *sigh*
*that's a Texas joke*
