Helping Teens Raise Money for Mission Trips
December 2nd, 2009 | Author: admin
It is a wonderful thing when teens get involved in helping the less fortunate. There are many teens out there that are willing to give their time and heart to help others. Unfortunately their good intentions will not get them to their destination.
They will need to find ways to raise money for their mission trip. Here are just a few ideas to get them started on their journey to raise money for their mission trip to help others and spread the Word of God.
Write a Letter: Believe it or not, one of the simplest things they can do is to write a letter. If every single person on the team wrote a genuinely heart-felt letter to 50 people or more, then imagine what the outcome could be! This is one of the easiest things to do to raise money that everyone can participate in. Here is a sample letter you can use to construct your own letter. You should not copy it word for word. Just use it as an example and include your own feelings and ideas.
Ask your Congregation for Help: Talk with the leaders of your church. Many times, the church will allow the Christian teens to address their congregation about the mission trip. Sometimes a church will allow a “love offering”, which is when the offerings for that day will all be donated to the mission trip.
Host a Fundraising Event: This can be a lot of fun! Be creative and come up with your own fun ideas. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
• Bake Sale
• Coupon Books
• Chore Auction
• Penny Drives
• Candy Sales
• Carnival
• Chili Dinner
• Kids Night Out Party
These are just a few ideas to help Christian teens raise money. Sponsor a Missionary is also here to help! The more support we can get, the more support we can give to Christian teens who have a strong mission in life to spread the Word of God to others.
Don’t give up! There are many ways you can raise the money for your mission trip. Christian teens who want to share their love of God are a blessing we cherish each and every day. God Bless.
Sponsor a Missionary is on a mission to help as many people as possible to spread the Word of God. Please help us share God’s Word with those who have never had the opportunity to know God’s love.
We appreciate your gift and thank you for helping us to help missionaries spread the Word of God.
