Challenge For Catholics

Dear Reader:

Thanks to you and this year's gift subscription campaign, we now have more than 500,000 readers!

This is a considerable number, but if one thinks that in the world there are more than a billion Catholics, and if we think that ZENIT isn't just for Catholics, but for all men and women of good will who would be interested in news coming from Rome, 500,000 readers is just a drop in the bucket!

How many people around the world might like to read ZENIT but are unaware that it exists?

The Internet has enormous potential. Directly or indirectly, it can reach everyone in the world.

So ZENIT could be accessible to everyone!

The phenomenon of globalization has progressed in an impressive manner. In a matter of minutes, the entire world becomes aware of the newest movie, fashion, drink, snack food or technical gadget.

Why not make ZENIT known as well?

In this globalized world, every successful "product" fills a need (real or perceived). Is there not a true need to spread the message of the Gospel, the message of love and peace?

This is the mission of ZENIT, this is why it was created and has desired to grow: to spread the message of the Gospel.

We are constantly aware that our readers are an integral part of ZENIT, and that ZENIT depends on you for its growth and financial support. In fact, it is ZENIT's readers who hold the key to the agency's explosive growth in its 11 years of existence!

Technology offers incredible possibilities and the whole of the ZENIT team -- which includes you, its readers -- has the opportunity to take advantage of such technology and achieve goals that initially might have seemed exaggerated and unattainable!

Therefore, we can believe our goal is attainable! What's more, we must believe it!

Our first response to such a challenge is: multiply our numbers!

Let's do all we can to add to the number of ZENIT readers! Look for new e-mail addresses to which ZENIT can be sent as a gift! After Christmas, when the campaign is over, we will see how far we've gone.

Then, we will do our utmost to improve our work and continue to grow!

We will multiply our initiatives, seek new resources, increase the ways of making our news services known, suggest new methods for our readers to contribute to our growth, invest additionally in professional staff and technology ... in short, we will do all we can to have ever-better information relating to the universal message of truth and love reach all corners of the earth!

We are undertaking this new adventure and we count on all of you, our readers, to help us reach our goal.

We are counting on you to help us meet the challenges before us!

And at present, this challenge is really just ONE challenge: Give ZENIT as a gift to as many people as possible!

With best wishes from the entire ZENIT team,
