Ex. Dir. says, ‘Don’t dismiss this” as a fundraising ploy – the need is real – we must pay off our debt or suspend.

Dearest Friends of the Christian Action League,
I’ll keep this short with the great hope and earnest prayer that you will take the time to read and respond.
It pains me to tell you this, but CAL is facing suspension of its operations.
I don’t have to belabor matters concerning all the ways our struggling economy is rough on everything from our institutions to the individual. For the last four years, it has been especially difficult for the Christian Action League. We’ve taken in just enough contributions to cover immediate needs, keeping staff paid (although sometimes staff has had to wait to be paid), paying the telephone and internet expenses, etc., but our debt load is still too large and it threatens to force us to suspend our operations, unless we can chisel it down and pay it off soon.
Please don’t dismiss what I am saying. It’s true! We will have to suspend our ministry, if we cannot overcome our debt. We have been good stewards of our finances, but we just aren’t taking in enough and we have nowhere else to cut.
Our current debt load is now approximately $30,000. We need to hear from our friends or we won’t make it. We need your prayers. We need you to spread the word about our need. We need for you, your church, your Sunday School class, your church men’s and women’s ministries, whoever, to send whatever you can. We need your best gift possible.
Please remember all we have done for the sake of the kingdom. Though we did it in the power of His grace, we have been in the very vanguard of the recent passing of abortion legislation and human trafficking measures in the North Carolina General Assembly. We have fought back the spread of gambling and dangerous alcohol policies that put the public’s health at risk. We’ve been at the forefront of religious liberty issues. Just look, if you will, at this year’s legislative wrap up by clicking here. It is an impressive body of work.
The Christian Action League provides a unique witness to Christ and a moral compass to legislators and other public-policy makers across the Tar Heel state.
But it is do or die at this point. I beseech you for help. Outside of this, I can do no more than to trust the Lord.
Please let us hear from you right away.
To contribute online to the Christian Action League, go to the CAL’s website, look in the right margin where it reads “donate” and click, then follow the prompts to make your secure donation.
To contribute via the mail, please send your gift to:
Christian Action League of North Carolina, Inc.
809 Spring Forest Road
Suite 1000
Raleigh, North Carolina 27609
I pray that you will not turn us away, but find some means that you can help us. Again, matters are urgent. CAL will have to suspend its ministry without a swift response from our friends!
Thank you.
God Bless,
Dr. Mark Creech
