Fundraising for mission trips
Fundraising ideas for today
Welcome to fundraising for mission trips.
Believe it or not, fundraising for your trip is part of the preparation for
going on a mission trip. The challenge and reward of raising funds
may stretch your faith, will encourage you and prepare you for the
journey ahead.
This may be the first time that you have had to rely on God to come
through - and, if you believe that He is calling you to the mission
field - you can trust Him to come through for you.
First of all, work out what sum you need to raise - this is often a
fixed amount suggested by the mission organisation.
Secondly, pray! Before you do anything else, ask God to supply you
with everything you need for a successful trip, not only does this
include the finance, but the emotional, physical and spiritual
resources that you will need too.
If you are fundraising for a mission trip - it is likely that you friends,
family and church family will be only too willing to help you and will
only need an event or occasion to focus on to promise or give you
some money.
Here's a few more ideas on how to go about fundraising for
mission trips.
I hope that you may find them helpful:-
- Calendar fundraising - takeadvance orders for a calendar
made from your mission trip photos
- Candles fundraising - buy & sell on candles
- Cheesecake fundraiser - buy & sell on cheesecakes and
have plenty of fun in the process.
- Cookbook fundraisers - create, publish & sell a cookbook of
favorite recipes
- Sponsored events - run, walk, cycle, skip, keep silent, sing,
play, you name it - just make sure it's fun!
- Widows Mite - ask family and friends to make a regular
donation whilst you are away, even seemingly small sums
donated weekly or monthly can add up and make a big
difference.
Do try and get your local press involved - they love this type of a
story and are particularly interested in local groups raising money.
Consider how you're going to stay in touch with people - having a
blog that you update whilst on your trip can help people keep
praying and supporting you in a very relevant way.
Alternatively, if you can manage to email a Newsletter home, make
sure that you have someone ready to distribute it at church and to
your family & friends.
Above all, have fun, stay focused on God , share and tell your story
whenever and to whomever you can & God bless you!
