• I love it, my congregation loves it! In the world today, we need to keep making a difference and this marathon does that!
• I LOVE giving You Matter cards to absolutely anyone! I always keep a dozen in my wallet.
• I’ve ordered 1,000 cards so I can hand them out to my students when I am teaching about generosity in the spring. I will end the class earlier and send them on a mission to distribute cards to fellow students on campus.
• I met a man who runs a nonprofit for sexually abused children. You matter is what they preach. I gave him 1,000 cards. These cards change people’s lives.
