When you first graduate, you’re level-100 stoked about all that CCF was to you and you want to give all you can to support it.
But having just finished college, all you can give is four dollars and eighty-nine cents a month.
Fast forward 5, 10, 15 years. You’ve got a career and a way healthier income. Now, the $4.89/month that used to feel so heavy wouldn’t even be a blip on your radar. Heck, maybe $100 or even $200 would barely cause a stir.
But your life has moved on from CCF, too. It’s not that you’ve lost the enthusiasm to support CCF because you’ve come to dislike it or because it means less to you. It’s just that it’s not at the front of your mind like it once was, which makes perfect sense. Work, travel, kids, church (read: life) have all been happening.
But while you’ve gotten older and your situation has changed, CCF students remain just as they’ve ever been, which means our ministry still relies on the support of alum just as it did when you were a student yourself. CCF could be here for you because someone who came before you was giving to make it possible.
We hope the video up top reminds you of your own past at CCF — the people, the moments, the trips, the services — when, as Luke’s gospel puts it, your heart burned within you at Truman as you were encountered by God through the community of CCF. And we hope that it reignites your enthusiasm so that the chart above starts to look more like this:
