Raising support For The Mission
A Local Church Visions
We encourage Church
leadership to enthusiastically endorse the vision for missions
involvement, given by the Lord Jesus in His Great Commission.
Short-Term Missions is a ministry of the local congregation.
There will be those individuals whose hearts are moved to go ... and
those whose hearts are moved to prayerfully and financially support
their going. As important as it is for you to raise and invest
your personal resources into your trip there is also great value to
your congregation to invest in your going. As a Team member,
you can plan and work hard to raise your own resources, learning
Biblical principles of being sent by your congregation.
Short-Term Mission team members can download an endorsement letter
from us that they may use to help them raise support. [Click
here for endorsement letter] As your congregation is
involved in investing in Biblical giving beyond the tithe, everyone
is touched by the missions vision that God has given His Church.
The result is the entire congregation grows as a people with a heart
for the nations.
As the
congregation sees their team working to reach the financial goal for
their trip they may desire to donate additional funds to the team
from the church budget. The giving is done joyfully and freely out
of that which God has supplied the church. [Click here for
suggestions for letter writing strategies that incorporate Biblical
principles].
“May God
bless you as you seek to serve Him and answer the call to the Great
Commission.”
"Then Jesus
said to His disciples The harvest is plentiful but the workers are
few"
