Executive Summary
Core Mission StatementThe core mission of Fight for Faith is to glorify the one true God by enjoying Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and
strength.
AssumptionsAssumption #1: To glorify and enjoy God, we must first believe that we all fall short of His glory because of our hostility
towards Him, yet because of the love of God, He became a man, Jesus, and took our punishment on Himself, so that
we, through faith in this fact, can be with Him in paradise forever (See Romans 3:23-24, John 3:16, Romans 8, &
Romans 10:9). In this hope we are saved (See Romans 8:24).
Assumption #2: The Bible is the inerrant Word of God and within the Bible, powerful and faith-giving truth is revealed
concerning these things (See 2 Timothy 3:16).
Assumption #3: While living in this world, we are still subject to evil desires, pain, difficult circumstances, and injustice.
The Bible is our “sword” that helps combat or fight for faith in Jesus where we can say, “Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ... No, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him [Jesus] who loved us.” (Romans 8:35, 37)
Augmented PurposeTo encourage people’s faith in Jesus, Fight for Faith will build a website to help recommend scripture according to
people’s needs. Users will interact with the Bible from both personal and communal standpoints. Each interaction is
secure and private. The data generated by these interactions will drive the Fight for Faith recommendation engine and
facilitate action steps for increased involvement in new or existing Christian organizations.
fightforfaith.com 1
Verbal PromotionPrimary: “Fight for Faith is a way to recommend Bible verses according to people’s needs.”
Secondary: “You can interact with the Bible in multiple ways (reading, memorizing, studying, song writing, connecting
with relevant organizations, etc.) with free membership on the website. Based on these interactions and your most
trusted community connections, the website is able to credibly recommend truthful scripture to help increase your faith.”
Tertiary: “For example, if you find out you have cancer, go to www.fightforfaith.com, input the issue your struggling with,
and based on crowd-sourcing, Fight for Faith will recommend scripture you can interact with and act upon.”
Goals of Project• Encourage people’s faith using the Bible.
• Provide an online platform for many to be both involved with and heavily influenced by the word of God on the internet,
so that Christ (Word of God) will be on the throne of hearts.
• Provide a communally driven yet personalized platform to cultivate faith based on the user’s current needs (see 1
Chronicles 16:11-12)
• In faith trying times, provide a solution to help remind users of God’s sovereignty and love...
When shadows fall on us, we will not fear. We will remember. When darkness falls
on us, we will not fear. We will remember. When all seems lost, when we’re full or
we’re tossed, we’ll remember the cost; we rest in the shadow of the cross.
“Shadows” by David Crowder

Foundational Scriptures for Project The following scriptures are only a few of the foundations for the Fight for Faith project.
• “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” - Romans 10:17
• “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and
that he rewards those who seek him.” - Hebrews 11:6
• “For in it [the gospel] the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by
faith.’” - Romans 1:17
• “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of
spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” - Hebrews 4:12
• “Fight the good fight of faith...” - 1 Timothy 6:12a
• “I have stored up your word in my heart, so that I might not sin against you.” - Psalms 119:11

The following scriptures are from the perspective of those working on the Fight for Faith project.
• “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's
deceitfulness.” - Hebrews 3:13
• “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to
their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” - Ephesians 4:29
fightforfaith.com 4
Implications from Web Application• Encouragement for those who are on their computer much of the day (Hebrews 3:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:11)
• Many who work on and/or are dependent on computers will have an effective, wholesome, and worthwhile tool to
combat against temptations that come while facing a computer screen many hours a day (boredom, monotony,
frustration, laziness, hopelessness, loneliness, pornography, etc.)
• Increased intimacy with the Almighty and knowledge of the Truth
• See Psalm 46:10
• Custom scripture meditation layouts for each user will help personalize time in the Word
• Word search, explication, definition, and research tools will also help the user dive deeper into the truth of the Word
• Increased faith
• Previous and current meditations
• Prayer requests tracking
• “Ebenezer Stones” journal tracking
• God’s promise that we will find Him when we search for Him in His Word (Matthew 7:7-8)
• Renewed minds of users who dwell on the truth (See Romans 12:2)
• Study or training tool for discipleship relationships, accountability relationships, students in middle school, high school,
college and seminary
• Pastoral Information
• The Administrative Panel can track non-personal data based on types of scripture meditations. It will also
categorize the data based on frequency of use and user relevance. This information can be given to pastors of
larger congregations to help understand where their congregations are struggling and where they could use
encouragement as a whole
• Data mining and data mapping to better distribute resource and counseling attention
• United Effort for Encouragement within the body of Christ at large
• Because we “do not struggle against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12), we can analyze, using the data gathered
from this system, where the enemy is making the most use of his efforts at specific times and combat accordingly
in accountability relationships

Frequently Asked Questions
How does meditation on scripture battle against unbelief or increase our
faith?For the sake of accurate communication, we’re going to define meditation as extended thought, contemplation,
reflection, and dwelling on the truth of God, namely Christ revealed in the Bible. Right meditation should let the truth of
God saturate our minds and hearts, therefore changing our desires or conforming our minds to the mind of Christ (Phil
2:5). There are many ways to meditate on scripture: reading, writing, speaking, singing, being still, studying, memorizing,
moving into action, etc. We call these “facets of meditation” and they can work together to bring increased faith.
Reading/Writing: “...but these [signs from Jesus] are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:31 emphasis added. See also Dt 6:9, Prv 3:3, Heb
8:10, Jn 5:47, Rom 16:26, 2 Tim 3:15, Ex 31:18, Jos 1:8, 1 Cor 4:6, 2 Cor 3:3, Rev 1:3.
Reading/Speaking: “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word of Christ.” Romans 10:17
Singing/Songwriting/Making Music: “Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.“ Psalm
33:3. See also Ex 15:1, Ps 27:6, Ps 67:4, Ps 100:2, Ps 119:54, Ps 147:7, Eph 5:19, Col 3:16, Jas 5:13.
Being Still: “Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10. “Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness
and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” James 1:21
Studying: “By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not
made out of things that are visible.” Hebrews 11:3. See also Luke 24:45, Prv 3:5 and ***especially Ecclesiastes
12:11-14.
Memorizing: “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:11
Moving into Action: “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22. “So also
faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.... I will show you my faith by my works.” James 2:17-18 emphasis
added.

What does it mean to fight?Fighting for faith is not willing ourselves to believe the Words of God, but softening or humbling our hearts for God to give
us revelation of truth (see Ephesians 1:15-21 ). We must believe and treasure this truth for salvation and for sanctification
(Ephesians 1:13, Romans 8).
Why is it necessary to fight for faith?We must fight because our flesh “wages war” against the things of the Spirit (see 1 Peter 2:11 and Romans 8:1-11).
What or who do we fight against?Fight against unbelief, or to put it positively, fight for faith. We do not fight against “flesh and blood” (see Ephesians 6:12).
How do we fight?To fight against faithlessness, we must first be given revelation to believe (Romans 1:16), to see the pleasures at His right
hand in the gospel of Jesus Christ (Psalm 16:11), for in this hope we were saved (Romans 8:22-24). God has given us
the whole Bible in which to know Him. Each verse is as deep as the Bible is long, so we can be secure in knowing there
is enough of Him to satisfy our longing souls. However, our flesh is against the things of the Spirit (See Romans 8:1-11),
so we are prone to forgetfulness and to wander away from truth. Fighting for faith is consistently, repeatedly, and
increasingly turning from evil (or repenting from evil) and opening our hearts to let His truth penetrate to the deepest
levels.
Why should we fight if it’s up to the Holy Spirit for revelation to increase
faith?The main issue is that God has made the Holy Spirit to glorify Himself in us (Colossians 1:27). We still fight, but only
because of the grace of God, so the fighting can never be credited us, yet never without our involvement. Revelation
spurs us to fight against our flesh. After beholding the beauty and glory of God, even in the smallest of amounts while still
in the flesh, this new “sight” is a change in desire, or a change in heart, against the things of the flesh. We fight because
we treasure the gift of God. We fight because fighting is a reaction to revelation. All who truly believe fight. (See 1 Timothy
6:12). Yet, since our hearts are still the battlefields for this great convincing, Paul answers the question by simply saying,
“...But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder
than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:9-10.
Why do we fight for faith instead of fight for love, hope, kindness, etc?Faith fuels love, hope, kindness, etc. “The righteous will walk by faith.” (Romans 1:17). Until heaven, faith is our spiritual
eyes to see truth on this earth and to live a life that’s pleasing to God (2 Corinthians 5:7). When our lives are caught up
with Jesus when we die or He comes (whichever happens first), we won’t need faith anymore because we will see fully. In
1 Corinthians 13:13 it’s written, “...but the greatest of these [faith, hope, and love] is love.” This verse explains the fruits of
fightforfaith.com 7
faith, which are inevitable if faith is genuine. Pursue love, but do so first with a true revelation of who God is - this faith will
make loving pure, perfect, and restful and will give God the glory instead of yourself.
Can this site hurt relational accountability, Christian fellowship, or grieve
the Holy Spirit in any way?We have done our best to make this application a scripture organizational tool, rather than an artificial intelligent
counselor. In no way is this application’s purpose to replace counsel, teaching, encouragement, and accountability from
other believers. Rather, its purpose is to help point counsel in the direction of truth specifically from the Word of God,
which the Spirit has revealed to us. Because this computer application is software and not a person with a soul, there is
always potential for error in interpretation of scripture, etc. That’s why using this tool should always be in conjunction with
and not a replacement for Christian relationship. Furthermore, there is also the potential to depend slightly on this
application to “think” or “seek” God for us. This is NOT the goal. Much of, if not all, the victory in fighting for faith is in the
seeking or fighting itself. This application is only a tool for seeking God in His Word and for spiritual training. For more
reflection on seeking the Lord, please see Psalm 9:10, Isaiah 55:6, Jeremiah 29:13, Daniel 9:3, Hosea 10:12, Matthew
6:33, Luke 11:9, and Hebrews 11:6.
The application’s purpose is centered around guiding and equipping the user to seek out relevant scripture himself or
herself, not to control the user’s experience with the Word through virtual (internet-based) reality. Because the Word of
God is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), He is powerful to speak within any scripture guide, even one only accessible on
a computer. The Word of God is not confined to the virtual world of the internet and computers, so the actual fight for
faith or seeking God for revelation in His Word is done in real life.

Leadership
Board of Directors Involvement and Biographies
Jacob Copetillo - Director of Visual Modes and Cadence
! Charles Roach first introduced me to the concept of Fight for Faith while in his home in Athens, GA. We spoke
about the idea for several hours, and as days turned to weeks, our initial conversation quickly turned into dreaming and
collaborating different aspects of what Fight For Faith could really become. After much discussion, prayer and planning, I
knew I was meant to be a part of the endeavor and came on as Director of Visual Modes and Cadence.
This position with Fight For Faith is two fold. First, I serve as a critical eye for the visual aesthetics of everything
we do for the project. I direct the decisions we make regarding the aesthetic of our website, creative marketing as well as
the visual development of the project's components. Secondly, I serve as a pace keeper for the project, making sure that
things are on track and that we are steady in production and vision.
My desire in working with Fight For Faith is to see men and women, youth and the elderly, strive toward a clear
understanding of the character of Christ, living with a boldness that can only come from a heart that has experienced the
presence of God. I believe that Fight For Faith, if launched under the Spirit of the Lord, has the potential to equip and
network believers in ways most cannot even imagine.
Before Fight For Faith, I attended school at the University of Georgia and graduated with a BFA in Painting and
Drawing. Since then, I have worked as a Private Studio Artist in Athens, GA and as a Visual Arts Instructor for Prince
Avenue Christian School. Here at Prince Avenue, I have established a full curriculum for a total of nine classes, and I
teach eight of them. As a Private Studio Artist, I have worked as a Muralist, Draftsman, Sculptor and Designer for several
companies. I say all of this to speak boastfully in the work of God over my life and the works He is doing with Fight for
Faith, even now. I am excited to see what this project will become, and I cannot wait to see it all down the road as all of
this comes into fruition.
Outside of this project, I enjoy making all the art I can, playing ultimate frisbee, watching the sun come up as I
hook a big trout in the river, and an ice cold coke! I am also a sunday school teacher at Watkinsville First Baptist Church,
and I am pursuing a Masters in Fine Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts.

Charles Roach - Visionary Architect, Door Holder
When the Ark of the Covenant containing the Glory of God was carried back to Jerusalem under King David’s
management, four men, Berechiah, Elkanah, Obed-Edom and Jehiah, were given the role of gate-keepers, or door
holders. They were in positions of service, preparing the literal way for God's glory to return to His people (1 Chronicles
15:23-24). Likewise, through the Fight for Faith vision, this is my desire: to push back any obstacle and hold wide any
door that would allow people not only to see, but also to taste for themselves the goodness and glory of God (Psalm
34:8).
I believe that returning to what God has written long ago, quieting our hearts and trusting in Him in a restful way,
we will not only position ourselves to experience the pleasures at His right hand, but also become empowered to pro-
duce lives holy and pleasing to God. This is fighting the good fight of faith in Christ as our superior pleasure (See Isaiah
30:15, Psalm 16:11, 1 Timothy 6).
My daily involvement with Fight for Faith includes quieting my heart to walk humbly with Him, prayerfully listen-
ing to the Lord’s voice for discernment and direction, and handling administrative tasks such as financial planning, fund-
raising, accounting, writing project summaries, and managing operations. I also direct technical processes such as web-
site application development, information architecture, graphic design, user interface functionality, and solution analysis.
Before this project’s conception, I’ve directed or managed the maturation of multiple ideas into operational
status. Unison UGA, in the fall of 2004, was formed to spark Christian unity around Athens, GA. After a year of planning,
the organization hosted 3000 students in attendance on closed streets of downtown Athens, GA as well as the preach-
ing leadership of Louie Giglio (Director of Passion Conferences), Jared Herd, and Mark Richt (Head Football Coach for
the Georgia Bulldogs). After graduating from UGA with a BA in Real Estate, I worked on the front lines of a real estate
development company as the Acquisitions Coordinator reporting visionary analysis directly to the CEO. Afterwards, I led
the development of two start-up companies, ListingTank.com (www.listingtank.com) and Chip Chuck Design
(www.chipchuck.com).
Outside of the project, I enjoy ultimate frisbee and mountain biking (especially with Jacob and Matt), traveling to
the mountains to ski, and spending time with close friends and family. Other activities include involvement with Watkins-
ville First Baptist Church and pursuing an MBA at the University of Georgia Terry College of Business.

Matt Wetmiller - Director of Relationships and Accountability
My role as a board member for Fight for Faith is to give insight, wisdom, and encouragement to all involved so
that the vision can be an effective and lasting gift for the Church. Specifically, I pray about decisions and ideas that come
up, hold Charles and Jacob accountable, and help to guide the vision so that the Church can understand it as a whole.
The Lord has my heart in a place of seeking Him to become a more passionate follower of Christ. Like David's
passion from Psalm 27, I have been desiring to know God deeper and have been looking, from time to time, for creative
ways to study His Word. Through Fight for Faith, I believe that I, as well as other people, will become closer to the
Lord by memorizing His Word through many creative and Spirit-filled ways.
I live in Athens, GA, but my time is mostly spent working as a manager for Great Estates Landscaping in Madi-
son, GA. Away from work, I enjoy mountain biking, frisbee, trout fishing, hunting, and like Jacob, always enjoy an ice cold
coke. I’m also a middle school boys small group leader at Watkinsville First Baptist Church and in 2006, I graduated from
UGA with a BS in Landscape and Grounds Management.
