The hardest days in the battle for life and truth are still ahead of us

(LifeSiteNews) — Hello friends,

I’m John-Henry Westen, the co-founder and CEO of LifeSiteNews.

I want to speak to you today about something close to my heart – and yours too.

You and I are joined together in our shared commitment to defend innocent life, protect precious freedoms, and live the truths of our beautiful faith.

Today, all these values are threatened as never before.

In a world where death and lies so often triumph, your support has made LifeSiteNews the world’s most powerful advocate for life and truth.

Your support has truly made a difference:

• our ground-breaking reporting has changed the course of history,
• our campaigns have stopped unjust legislation in its tracks, and
• our journalistic integrity has made us one of the most trusted independent news agencies on the planet.

And we have done what many fear to do: we have proclaimed the reign of Christ the King over all nations, and over all laws.

For we know that where Christ reigns, babies are protected, families hold together, and children are raised in the knowledge and love of God.

It’s no surprise that the enemies of life hate us and fear us.

But the truth is… the battle is far from over. The hardest days are still ahead of us.

That’s why my message today is so important. I need your support for LifeSite’s new initiative: Rise Up and Build.

Our goal for this campaign is a very simple one: LifeSiteNews must be the world’s largest, most influential, and most trusted independent news service.

This goal has never been more important. The globalist-controlled media MUST be opposed everywhere by an international news service completely free to tell the truth.

LifeSiteNews is truly independent. We investigate stories others are afraid to touch, we give a platform to courageous voices the world wants to censor, and we never back down when the truth is at stake.

Already, there are more than 1 million people visiting LifeSiteNews every month. But that just isn’t enough. To make the impact we need we must reach many more.

I want to double LifeSite’s reach over the next year. And even that must just be the start.

To reach those numbers we urgently need to implement critical improvements to our infrastructure. As technology changes, our current operations just won’t do the job. And at the same time we are fighting to stop powerful enemies from taking us down.

That’s why I’m asking you to stand with LifeSiteNews today.

If you love truth, if you cherish life, if you believe that Christ must reign, now is the moment to act: give.lifesitenews.com.

Your gift today will help us rise up and build a platform to proclaim truth without fear, defend life without compromise, and shine forth a beacon of light in mankind’s darkest hour.

Please support us today.

We cannot do this without you. give.lifesitenews.com.

Thank you. And may God bless you always.
