Dear webmaster220, The Blackstone Legal Fellowship launched in 2000 with 24 students. This summer, 181 of the best and brightest Christian law students in the United States came together for the 2021 class. This was the largest class ever! These young people are highly accomplished—more than half of the class came from the top 25 law schools in the country. They're not only accomplished, they're also resilient. These students are navigating law school amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and our highly polarized political environment. As much as ever, there's a great need for principled, freedom-loving leaders. And we hope and pray that these students will step into that void. webmaster220, for some of these students, law school can be an incredibly challenging environment to live out their Christian faith. The students who stand firm in their faith can face rejection and hostility from faculty, administrators, and even their peers. Some students enter Blackstone feeling alone, outnumbered, and overwhelmed. Blackstone offers something these students often can't get at even the best law schools: a place where they are encouraged, equipped, and connected with like-minded peers and accomplished professionals. And time after time, they graduate from Blackstone feeling reenergized, recommitted to their faith and to the law, and fully equipped to help keep the doors open for the Gospel. God has used you to provide the education, training, and fellowship these young people so desperately need. You've helped transform lives. And we are so grateful for you, webmaster220.

They're joining an alumni network of nearly 2,300 attorneys who support each other professionally and spiritually while working to transform the legal system. But right now, there's a great opportunity to train and equip even more future leaders to secure victories for freedom that will last for generations. Each year we receive more highly qualified applicants than we have space for. This year alone we turned away dozens of applicants that we would have accepted if we had the resources. And we also get more requests than we can fill from prominent legal organizations looking to get interns from Blackstone. You can see there is a lot of room to grow the Blackstone program. But that growth is wholly dependent on God's provision (John 15:5) and your faithful prayers and support, webmaster220. We're so grateful for your gifts to Alliance Defending Freedom. Would you consider helping again with a tax-deductible gift today to support the next class of the Blackstone Legal Fellowship? Right now, a limited-time matching grant will double your gift up to $250,000! That means that your gift of $75 will become $150. A gift of $100 will become $200. Every dollar makes a difference in training the next generation of Christian leaders. That's why we need your help. Blackstone graduates are already making an impact in the halls of government, as leaders of corporations and prestigious law firms, and in positions of influence throughout the nation. Just imagine what God can do in the years to come through your continued prayers and gifts! The shaping of our legal system doesn't start in the courtroom. It starts in the classroom. Thank you again for your support, webmaster220. Your generosity shows these talented young people that they are not alone, and it helps ensure your freedoms have a strong legal defense. | | | | |
