What People Are Saying...
CJ and Shelley brought a powerful message challenging us to take practical steps toward the holiness for which God has created us.

I especially appreciated the breakout session in which CJ spoke very candidly with the men (and young men) about the need for purity with regard to pornography and for protection with regard to creating a safe environment for our daughters.

The women of the church were blessed as Shelley spoke tenderly about God's pure love for each of them.

Through this one Sunday event, hearts were open to healing and families were challenged to set new standards for the media soup in which they daily swim.

List of Fundraising Ideas


1. First check with your organization. Most schools, youth groups and churches have designated budgets available for this purpose. CJ & Shelley are willing to work with your organization's budget.


2. Occasionally there are private benefactors (such as companies, group organizations in your area) who have community service funds that they use to assist positive functions in the community. Simply call companies or organizations in your area and ask for help. In return, you can add their name "Sponsored by ___" to the posters, publications and for any radio/TV interviews. This is a great opportunity for the company to receive free publicity for helping a great cause.


3. List of Fundraising Ideas for Schools:
  • Most schools and churches have vending machines. Many times the profits can be used for discretionary purposes such as this.
  • Have each student bring $1 the day of the event as a donation.
  • If your school has a dress code, collect $1 from each student to allow them to have a "dress down day" (as per your school policies).
  • If agreed upon by the teachers, offer the students one "homework pass" in one of their classes (i.e. math class) for $1. On the day they use their "homework pass" they still get credit for their homework. This is popular among students esp. during busy times of the year.
  • Parent organizations such as PTA's, PTO's or Parent Communication Networks are sometimes willing supporters of programs such as this
  • Sell bracelets with your school colors. Not only can you raise money for your event, but you can also help a ministry in the Phillipines. Learn more about Threads of Hope here.


4. When CJ and Shelley visits your area, check with your hotel/motels to see if they would like to support your program by giving you a discount on their rates or a free room in exchange for listing them as one of your sponsors on the flyers that you send out as well as your press releases. (This is free advertising for them.)
