Dear Friends of Furman RUF,

In 100 short days it will be 2013. As we all look toward the final months of 2012, I would like you to consider a proposal of sorts. If you are reading this, chances are you already know something about RUF. Maybe your child is in college and has become involved in this ministry, maybe you are part of a church that is connected to RUF, or maybe (like myself) you were deeply impacted during your college years by this ministry. Whatever the case, what you might not know is that RUF is largely supported by the generosity of people like you, who see the incredibly unique value of having an RUF on the campus of Furman University.

As we move into the Fall, we have seen phenomenal work already occuring on campus. In the picture to your right you see 60+ Furman students who attended our Fall Conference and we're able to spend the weekend hearing the Bible clearly and directly proclaimed. If you were to walk into Ramsay Parlor on Thursday nights you would see 100+ students singing, listening, praying, and asking how the gospel of Jesus Christ informs and directs their relationship. If you could meander through the campus on a given day, you would see one of the 20 student-led Fellowship Groups meeting together to grow, pray and get more deeply involved in one another's lives. This ministry is intricately woven into the fabric of this campus, and we are afforded the opportunity to proclaim the gospel from the very heart of the university.

Despite all of this vital work, our finances are currently in a deficit and we need your help. In the final 100 days of this year we are looking for 100 new donors to give 100 dollars each.  This new money added to our already faithful churches and donors would significantly help in bringing our account into a surplus for the coming year! Please pray and consider giving a little over $30 per month for the last 3 months of the year. Of course, all gifts are appreciated, and none are too big or too small!

Grace & Peace,

Tim
