Dear Parents,

Thank you for participating in Colorado Gives Day!
I'm excited to share that to date we have had donations and pledges of 4.76 million dollars towards our initial goal of 5 million. Praise God! A generous foundation has offered to match donations made by December 31; please help us raise the remaining $106,000 of this matching opportunity! Also, please be in prayer for the Arma Dei board as they meet next week to discuss plans for the Phase 1 expansion.

Educating to Glorify God,
