Chris Peffer's Fundraising Page

Thank you for taking the time to view this page. My name is Chris Peffer. I am 23 years old. When I realized in November of 2020 that I was not going to be able to afford to continue attending Franciscan University of Steubenville due to lack of finances, and the exorbitant cost of out-of-state tuition, I was unsure of what to do. It was not long, however, before God would harvest from a seed that He had planted in my mind many years prior, when I was first attracted to the idea of missionary life. My cousin who has just completed her second missionary years with Hard As Nails, had been reaching out to me over the course of the semester, offering to give me information about the program. One day it hit me in prayer that this is what God wants of me. I applied, and was accepted as a Hard As Nails missionary!

Hard As Nails is a Catholic ministry whose focus is to evangelize youth and young adults. This ministry travels the country to offer events at parishes, high schools, youth groups, etc. with the mission to awaken the world to the power of God’s love. Hard As Nails founder, Justin Fatica, is a dynamic speaker who along with his team of missionaries, helps thousands of young people every year to encounter the Gospel and the sacraments--all with the vision to "make a world where no one suffers alone."

I have served a year with this ministry now, and I am excited to announce that I am beginning my second year! To serve this year, I need to fundraise another $10,000. The goal is set at $20,000 because it still has my donations from last year on this site, so I need to get to that goal this year. If you feel called to donate to my fund, you can do that here. I thank you in advance for supporting me! God bless! You're Amazing!
