<p>I have never asked you to help in this way before but I do face <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the very real prospect of Christian Vision for Men ceasing to exist</span>.  We urgently need £20,000 by the end of this month.</p>
<p>CVM is involved in some of the biggest evangelistic initiatives in it&#8217;s history and yet at the same time we are facing insolvency.  We urgently need funds to continue reaching men with the Gospel.</p>
<p>Like many Christian Ministries in the UK our income has been severely hit by the recession.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">In response we are reducing all of our expenses and overheads to the absolute minimum, whilst not reducing our front line activity of reaching men with the Gospel.</span> In fact we receive weekly stories about men giving their lives to Jesus.</p>
<p><strong>Please give some money to CVM now.</strong> <a href="http://www.cvmen.org.uk/make-a-donation-to-cvm.html"><strong>Click here to donate.</strong></a></p>
<p>With huge thanks and much appreciation.</p>
