Mark Your Calendars!

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!

We can meet the challenges of today and the possibilities of tomorrow by cultivating a MORE THAN imagination that constructs new patterns, models, and approaches in Christian education so that faith formation shapes identity, nurtures meaning-making, and engenders faithful living in today’s world.

Dear Friends of the South Sudanese,

Attached you will find a Concept for Peace. Over the past several months, this document has been prepared by a group of South Sudanese and American advocates for a just and lasting peace for the people of South Sudan. It has been reviewed by dozens of South Sudanese all of whom support its objectives.

At this point, before we develop a detailed action plan, we want as many South Sudanese and their friends as possible to see this - our dream for peace for this generation. We want you to know that we believe peace is possible. We recognize that broad peace will be difficult and require a sustained effort for many years.

If we don’t start now, then WHEN? If we don’t try, then WHO will. As detailed plans are developed, we will try in this same way, to keep you aware. Please adopt the attitude that peace is possible, and peace can begin with YOU and ME.

You are encouraged to pass this to your South Sudanese and other Friends.
