Greetings Friend,

Thank you for your faithful friendship and support of UpWords Ministries. Since the beginning of this ministry in 1992, our goal has been to help people take one step closer to Jesus Christ. Our message of hope has been shared through radio, the web, speaking, and writing.

Recently, we have witnessed the growing capacity of the internet to provide Bible teaching and spread the Gospel. Web-based formats bless both seekers and believers around the globe, especially in places where Christ-centered messages are not easily available.

These new technologies bring great opportunity, but also require additional funding.

We find ourselves in need of regular financial support for this important ministry. We ask you to prayerfully consider joining us as a Ministry Partner with UpWords and MaxLucado.com.

Together we can do greater things for the cause of Christ!

Fearlessly,

Max Lucado

P.S. I thank you for reviewing this exciting opportunity. If you aren’t able to help financially, please remember us in your prayers!
