YEAR-END FUNDRAISING LETTER
Dear Friend
of Ratio Christi at Wayne State University,
Some people
thought that when Peter Singer
came to Wayne State's campus last fall to debate
John Patrick, MD,
a medical missionary, no one would care and no one would
come. Then, when hundreds of students did flock to hear the
Singer-Patrick debates, many people thought that that would
be the end of it. A one-time "splashy" debate between an
atheist and a follower of Christ.
Anyone who
thought these things did not take into account the power of
prayer. Your prayers. And mine. And those of the Christian
faculty and graduate students who meet for prayer every
Monday on campus. And the prayers of churches and individual
Christians throughout Southeastern Michigan. We've been
praying for Wayne State and for Detroit.
Thank you
for your prayers. They are being answered in many ways. One
of those ways, is the formation of Ratio Christi at Wayne
State University. We are an apologetics club for students
(Christian students, atheists, doubters and seekers) who
want to explore for themselves the truth-claims of the
Gospel. If you have not done so, please read more about
Ratio Christ online (RatioChristi.org/WSU).
Our plan is to start regular meetings of student members as
early as next month (January 2012) and to be able to sponsor
at least one high profile campus debate in 2012.
Even as we
are starting our Wayne State chapter of RC, we need to do
some fundraising. We need to purchase a table stand, an
extension banner, and some other supplies so that we can
have a table display for recruiting students on campus. We
also need to purchase some curriculum materials (RZIM DVDs
Stand to Reason materials, and apologetics books) and a data
projector for our weekly apologetics training meetings. And
we also need to run ads in the South End student
newspaper and display ads on campus computers. Finally, we
want to start a fund so that we can eventually recruit and
hire a part-time trained apologist who will serve as the
permanent director of Ratio Christi at Wayne State
University.
Our goal for
the first six months, is $6,000. Please prayerfully consider
supporting us. Donations for our Wayne State chapter are
made payable to Ratio Christi, and sent to the Erie, PA
address above. Donations are tax deductible. Please write #460063
Wayne State University on the check memo line.

to donate online. Most
importantly, please keep RC@WSU in your prayers. Thank you!
