Dear Friend,

[I showed up at University excited for what God had in store for me. He made his call clear

for me to attend University with my sister, Kaitlyn, who is not a Christian. I was looking

forward to sharing the gospel with her. After my first weekend on campus, though, I

realized that the rest of campus deeply needs Jesus as well.] Thankfully, I have been

involved with a ministry here called

InterVarsity Christian

Fellowship. Through InterVarsity, I

have been equipped to be a witness wherever I am on campus, as well as a leader who has

a positive influence.

InterVarsity is hosting a missions conference at the end of this year called Urbana. At

Urbana, I will join more than 16,000 friends to explore how my gifts, dreams, and calling

meet God’s global mission. Right now he has called me to be on mission at [University]. But

at Urbana, I will learn about his call for the rest of my life: in relationships, in the workplace,

and in missions around the world. Urbana offers many unique opportunities, such as

getting to talk with leaders of over 250 missions organizations.

Urbana is December 27-31, 2015, in St. Louis, Missouri. It will cost around $1,000 total for

me to attend (this includes conference fees, travel, hotel, and food). Would you consider

financially contributing to God’s mission at [University] and in the world? To send a gift,

please make checks payable to [Joe Smith] and mail them to:

Your Street Address

City, State Zip

Thank you for being a significant part of my life. I appreciate your generosity in helping me

attend Urbana and am excited to share about it with you when I return. If you have any

questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

In Christ,

[Joe Smith]
