Subject: Will you step into the arena with me?

Hi [Name],

I wanted to share something I've been part of that's genuinely changing lives, and ask if you'd consider joining me.

What if every student not only knew they were called to live boldly for Christ, but also had mentors, internships, and real marketplace opportunities to help them discover and live out that calling?

That's the mission of Arenas of Faith, and it's why I volunteer with them. Through their Encounter, Equip, and Establish pathway, they're raising up the next generation and mobilizing every generation to restore faith in schools, homes, businesses, and communities. Working alongside local churches, coaches, business leaders, and mentors, they're helping students become lifelong disciples who influence every arena for Christ.

I've seen firsthand what this looks like, and I believe in it enough to ask you to get involved too. Here are a few ways you can step in:

• Donate. Your gift directly fuels mentorship, internships, and student programs. Give today at arenasoffaith.org/give.
• Attend. Come see the mission in person at an upcoming event. I'd love to have you there with me.
• Partner. Whether as a mentor, a business leader, or a prayer partner, there's a place for you in this work.
• Get Connected. Stay connected with the impact Arenas of Faith is making in the community. Join our mailing list: arenasoffaith.org/get-connected

Will you step into the arena with me? Your partnership helps make this mission possible.

Join us today at arenasoffaith.org.

With gratitude,

Fundraising Pitches 

General Pitch (conversation or email)

God is in the process of restoring all things unto Christ and He is calling the next generation to be part of it. Arenas of Faith is a nonprofit that closes the gap between faith and every day life, equipping young men and women not just to survive in their schools, careers, and communities as Christians, but to actively transform those arenas so they reflect the character and mission of God. We are not building another youth ministry, we are partnering with the restoration Christ is already doing, and if you share this passion for the next generation, we would love for you to come partner with us.

For Individual Donors

For too long, the Church has unintentionally communicated that faith belongs inside a building  that the "real" spiritual life happens on Wednesday or Sunday, and Monday through Friday is just where you try not to sin. The result is a generation that carries genuine faith into the marketplace but doesn't know how to transform it. They occupy space. But God never called His people to merely occupy — He called them to restore.

Arenas of Faith exists to change that. Rooted in Colossians 1 and the great redemptive sweep of Scripture, we equip the next generation to understand that their school, the athletic field, their relationships, their career, and their community are not distractions from God's mission, they are God's mission. Your gift directly funds the equipping of young men and women who will carry the restoring work of Christ into every arena they lead for the rest of their lives. This is not charity. This is participation in what God promised in Revelation 21.

For Churches & Faith Communities

The Great Commission has always been about more than decisions, it has been about making disciples who transform culture. Colossians 1 tells us that Christ created all things, sustains all things, and is reconciling all things to Himself. The Church's role is to produce the kind of people who understand that, and live accordingly.

Arenas of Faith is doing that work in the spaces the Church cannot easily reach: in high school hallways, on athletic fields, and in the early-career formation of the next generation. We are not replacing the local church, we are building a bridge between it and the world students actually inhabit, closing the gap between the sacred and the secular so that students emerge not just believing the Gospel, but knowing how to be agents of Christ's restoration in every arena they enter. Partnering with AOF means your church's discipleship extends far beyond your walls.

For Businesses & Foundations

God did not create the marketplace as a necessary evil, He created it as an arena where His character can be displayed, His justice can be practiced, and His restoration can be advanced. But that only happens when the people in it understand their work as worship and their leadership as a calling to restore.

Arenas of Faith is building that pipeline. We equip students theologically and practically, connecting them with Christian marketplace leaders who model what it looks like to run a business, lead a team, and build a career as an act of participation in the restoration of all things unto Christ. We are closing the gap between the next generation and the marketplace, not just with job skills, but with a Kingdom vision for every arena as God intended it to be. Arenas of Faith is raising leaders who don’t just participate in culture, they reshape it. Through partnership, you are investing in a generation that will step into industries, influence the marketplace from within, and carry the presence, truth, and leadership of Christ into every arena of society.

Arenas of Faith — Fundraising Pitch Paragraphs

Rooted in Revelation 21:5 · Colossians 1:15–20

It Starts Here:

"He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!'" — Revelation 21:5

"For in him all things were created… all things have been created through him and for him… and through him to reconcile to himself all things." — Colossians 1:16, 20

The entire redemptive story of God is this: Christ is the center of all things, and He is in the process of restoring all things unto Himself. Not just Wednesday or Sunday mornings. Not just souls in a pew. Every school. Every business. Every neighborhood. Every arena of life.

Arenas of Faith exists to partner with what God is already doing, equipping the next generation not just to occupy space as Christians in the marketplace, but to know how to transform every arena they enter so that it reflects the character and mission of a God who is restoring all things unto Christ.

Option 2:

Arenas of Faith exists to partner with the work God is already doing, raising up and equipping the next generation not simply to exist as Christians within culture, but to faithfully transform every arena they enter — schools, businesses, communities, and the marketplace — until those spaces increasingly reflect the character, truth, and restoring mission of Jesus Christ, who is making all things new.

We are not building another youth ministry, we are partnering with the restoration Christ is already doing, and we need people willing to join us.

For Individual Donors

For too long, faith has been seen as something that stays inside a building, something for Sundays, not everyday life. The result is a generation that may believe in God, but hasn’t been equipped to live out that faith where it matters most, in school, work, relationships, and the marketplace.

We equip the next generation with the identity, leadership, and purpose needed to step into every arena of life - school, sports, careers, and community - and make a real impact. We believe these spaces aren’t separate from purpose, they are where purpose is lived out.

This isn’t just giving.  It’s building the kind of leaders our world needs.

For Businesses & Foundations

The marketplace was never meant to be separate from purpose—it’s one of the primary arenas where leadership is tested, values are shaped, and culture is influenced. But most young leaders enter it unprepared. Arenas of Faith is building a pipeline to change that.

We equip the next generation with both the character and the competency to lead well—helping them understand their work as worship and their leadership as a responsibility to bring restoration. Through mentorship and real-world connection, we place students alongside proven leaders who model what it looks like to build businesses, lead teams, and operate with integrity.

We are closing the gap between the next generation and the marketplace—not just with job skills, but with a clear vision for how to lead and influence within it.

This is not short-term impact—it’s long-term influence. Arenas of Faith is raising leaders who won’t just enter industries, but strengthen them—bringing truth, integrity, and lasting impact into the places that shape our world.

Your investment helps build leaders who will carry that influence for decades. This is about building what lasts.
