Anonymous 3:1 Match Challenge!
Ready for a Challenge? 

Three anonymous donors have presented a challenge - they will match up to 100 new gifts of $25 from anyone who has not previously given to Needle's Eye. That's right - this means that for every new gift of $25 from a first time giver, Needle's Eye will receive $75. It's a "three-fer" -
a 3:1 match
!

If you have been looking for the perfect opportunity to start giving to Needle's Eye, now is the time! Your donation will go a long way, and your support will greatly aid NEM in taking Christ to the Richmond marketplace, particularly to those who are in career transition.

3:1 Match!To participate in the challenge, click here to donate online, or mail a check payable to Needle's Eye Ministries, Inc. and mail to:
