Fundraising 09

God is no doubt on the move in the motocross community. He has been working in tremendous ways the past six to seven months. God has done a lot through PanicREV in 08, including an amazing outreach at both the Mammoth and Dodge Nationals. New relationships were established, lives were touched, and numerous people got saved as a result of these two outreach ministries. Our Thursday night bible study, Relevant, has also seen a lot of growth both physically and spiritually; the same 30-40 faces show up every week pumped to hear about God and fellowship with each other. Lastly, our website has had a popular new addition in the last few months: a new monthly video that features interviews with Christian racers sharing what God has done in their lives. We are exciting about the new opportunities God has placed before us and continue to strive to do our best to meet these new challenges all while bring Him glory.

In 2009, we want to continue to expand the ministries in new and exciting ways. We hope to build on the outreach ministries to include more races; hopefully, this will also mean more opportunities to build relationships and touch people's lives for Christ. We really believe that investing in people through relationships is the best way to introduce them to Christ. Relevant, our Thursday night bible study in Corona, Ca, is also another great way that we invest in people. At Relevant, we are able to deepen our relationship Christ while growing closer to each other. In order to foster a atmosphere of fellowship, we are in need of a more comfortable space and more events. Of course, our most widespread method of outreach is the panicrev.org website. We our increasing the media content of our site in order to fulfill a gap in the industry; we aim to be the top Christian motocross media site. We should be launching our new website early in 09.

Of course, all of this growth will cost money. How much money? Roughly $50,000 to continue all the ministries we currently operate and to grow our ministries as previously mentioned for one year. This may sound like a lot of money, but if we can get 140 people to each pledge a monthly donation of $30, we can easily meet this goal. But you can't spare $30 a month? That is fine, every little bit helps and will help us fulfill the vision God has given us for the future. Please pray about pledging a monthly donation.

God Bless,
