Give by December 31st and Make your Gift go Three Times as Far!

This year you have an opportunity to save lives and make your donation go three times as far! But first, I have to share what’s going on across Illinois. 

When students came back to campus, the abortion industry was ready for them. All Illinois colleges are now required to provide and promote dangerous abortion pills to students. 

These pills end the life of an unborn child, and common complications endanger the life of the mother, especially without proper medical oversight - which campuses are not required to provide

“I know it’s killing something…” 

Cavan, a weDignify leader, stands on the University of Illinois quad every week with a simple homemade sign- “Is Abortion Wrong?”.

He engages in respectful dialogue, and keeps pregnancy and post-abortive resources on hand to share with students. In November, Danny saw Cavan’s sign and approached him. Danny was on his way to get an abortion with his girlfriend. 

He told Cavan, “I know it’s killing something… but I can’t have a baby right now.” Cavan shared life affirming pregnancy resources with Danny - but he walked away, with his head down.

This is what’s happening every day on college campuses. Students aren’t educated on what abortion is, or the many life-affirming resources available. 

“I literally came to ISU pro-choice…”

Because of you, last year weDignify expanded to Illinois State University. In just one year, over 50 students participated in weDignify. This year, even more students are joining small groups and learning the truth about abortion - and becoming pro-life.

Savannah, a weDignify Missionary, found this note in her office before leaving for fall break: “Savannah, Thank you so much for all you do! I literally came to ISU pro-choice and because of weDig(nify) I have become pro-life. I am so grateful for all that you do for weDig(nify), it is truly changing lives!” - Jane, ISU student

Just this semester, weDignify has changed 6 hearts from pro-choice to pro-life through our Small Group program and advocacy on campus. And these students aren’t quietly pro-life - they are actively sharing their pro-life beliefs with their friends and classmates.

“Because of weDignify - I’m locked in. I want to make a difference in this world through Christ, for Christ, and for the unborn children who don’t have a voice.” - Pat, weDignify student

Pat joined weDignify last year as a way to learn how to share his pro-life beliefs. After learning about the origins of Planned Parenthood, he immediately went home and shared with his roommates and friends. Pat used what he learned in Small Group to change his friends’ hearts.

Each student transformed by weDignify has an exponential effect - bringing the Gospel of Life to their friends, family, classmates, and even professors. 

But to reach more students, to build a true culture of life across Illinois, we need your help. 

The Christmas campaign goal is to raise $120,000 to save lives! Already, some very generous donors have stepped up and will MATCH any gift up to $50,000!
When you give: $250 weDignify receives:  $500

When you give: $1,000 weDignify receives:  $2,000

When you give: $2,500 weDignify receives:  $5,000 and so on…

But you must give by December 31st for it to be doubled! And there’s more! 

If we raise $100,000 then a very generous donor will add another $20,000!

Thank you and Merry Christmas from weDignify’s leadership!                      

P.S. AJ, a new weDignify student, shared “I’ve never felt more comfortable expressing my pro-life beliefs because of weDignify.” Give by December 31st to double your impact on students like AJ!

P.P.S. This has been a hard financial year for many - and like you, our family has felt the pinch. I hope you will join me in sacrificing for this life-saving, essential mission so weDignify can receive a bonus of $20,000! - Anna
