We desire to revolutionize the lives of urban youth through an intense Christian sports camp experience that would allow the gospel of Jesus Christ to change lives.  As we move through the beginning of 2010, we are incredibly encouraged by what we see the Lord doing in and through our ministry.  One of the things that we are so excited about is the growth of SB2Dub Citikidz.  Over the last 5 years, nearly 2000 urban youth and inner-city leaders from cities like  Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Brooklyn, Syracuse, Richmond, Baltimore, Washington D.C., etc have had the chance to spend a week at camp. This summer, we're adding a fourth week of camp so that we can influence and impact even more lives.

For the last four years, we've had the opportunity to run Citikidz at Camp T. Frank Soles.  We are currently looking to purchase property and hope that Citikidz will have a permanent home by year's end.   That would allow us even greater opportunity to expand our ministry to leaders and young people from the inner-city.  The generosity of camp families and friends has helped to make the Citikidz experience possible for these campers in the past.  As we move forward, we recognize the critical need to further develop partnerships that will enable this ministry to flourish.

We're writing to ask if you'd consider partnering with us to make Citikidz happen on a long-term basis.  Our goal is to raise $222,000 a year to sustain an ongoing ministry with urban youth.  There are several large foundations that we believe will help us buy a new property, but we really need help from families and friends like you to keep this ministry moving forward.   The table below details the strategy that we believe the Lord has given us.

Would you prayerfully consider making 1 of the 935 recurring pledges that we need to reach our goal?  We would love for you, your family, your friends, or your church to partner with us on an ongoing basis.  All gifts are tax-deductible and you can contribute a one-time gift, monthly, or annually.

You can give in one of four ways:
- Donate online here instantly and securely via PayPal. 
   - Download a Pledge Drive Form and donate by check or credit card
   - Pledge by phone by calling 814-629-9744
   - Contact Timotheus Pope at tlpope@sb2w.org if you have foundations or other individuals with whom you feel we should share our vision.

There is no other place where your resources will have greater impact on the world in which we live than with young people and their leaders.  I look forward to sharing with you the stories produced through your investment.  We would love to see you this summer if you have opportunity to visit camp.  Thank you so much for your time.  God bless.
