Dear CT Reader,
When the brokenness of our world seems endless, more than ever, people need to see the kingdom come.
Christianity Today exists to tell the stories and ideas of the kingdom of God. To make visible the good news that Jesus is still at work today transforming lives and bringing glory to himself.
But we can’t do this without you. Will you give a year-end gift to ensure the stories and ideas of the kingdom of God are made known in a world that is desperate for the hope we have in Christ? Now through December 31, your gift will be doubled, thanks to generous ministry partners.
You can help make the kingdom visible. Give your tax-deductible gift by December 31.
Gratefully,
Timothy Dalrymple
President and CEO
