New Jerusalem Now

Hello dear friend,

Thank you for visiting our site. In the past, you may have received some form of appeal in your mailbox during these holiday seasons, asking you to consider giving us financial support. This year we’re going digital.

One reason is because we believe this to be an area of “recovery potential”, as we are aware of the avalanche of paper waste that is harming our planet and cluttering our lives. Another reason is that we simply do not have the resources to send out a written appeal. (hint, hint!)

Some data suggests that attention spans are dwindling. If you’ve made it this far, you have already outlasted many others. Keep it up, you’re doing great! We promise this won’t take much longer.

We need your help. This has been an especially difficult year for us as the economy, circumstances and the cunning have conspired to bring us closer to zero than since the days of our beginnings. But, as our friend Hafiz tells us, “zero is where the real fun starts!”

Many of the beautiful broken people who walk through our doors are also closer to zero than ever. This is where recovery begins. We believe that God is more interested in tender beginnings than efficient ends. Now here is your opportunity to join with us in the tender beginnings of a new year.

Please help us— and our world— recover. Your financial support makes our work possible; without it we cannot keep our doors open to the least of these. If you are inspired to contribute, simply click here for instructions.

Thank you, God bless, and happy holidays!

Much love,

Your friends at New Jerusalem Now
