Donor Will Match All Donations Thru February 14

J. Jackson, lead singer for ApologetiX here.
If you missed last week's newsletter, we have some amazing news:
A pastor and his wife in New England contacted us last Friday and offered to match all donations we receive through Friday, February 14, at 11:59 p.m. PST, up to a cumulative total of $5000.
They said, "We've recently been blessed (an inheritance) and have long wished to bless ApologetiX and encourage you all (past and present) in this ministry to which you're called."
We were totally stunned. As many of you know, we recently had another fan in the Midwest offer a matching donation. We never dreamed another one would come so soon. It was unexpected, but not unneeded.
We used the first donor match to pay a lot of bills (and it felt so great to do so), but we have plenty of other expenses to take care of. Also, ApX is still over three months behind on paying me. I've been able to make do with help from last year's tax return, but that only lasts for so long.
Furthermore, the events of the past month have slowed down our single-release schedule, which affects income (although we have 15 new songs in various stages of completion).
Anyway, this new donor match wasn't my idea —none of the donor matches ever have been — but if God wants to bring this new opportunity our way, I'll follow along gratefully and obediently and relay the news.
I'm especially touched that this gift is coming from people who are in ministry. That newsletter also included a very encouraging email from a missionary-pastor-teacher in Africa who is a long-time fan. You can read it at http://apologetix.com/news/news-details.php?news_id=3959.

Donations aren't tax deductible, but they're worth twice as much! If you can't participate, don't worry. We certainly didn't expect that couple to come forward with this donor match, and we don't have specific expectations of particular people who will participate in it.
Your friend,
