First of all, we highly encourage all your missionaries to write to friends, relatives, church members and business associates and let them know that you will be going on a mission trip
For many of your friends, the idea of going on a mission trip is way out of their comfort zone, but they will gladly support someone like you financially. For those of you can afford the trip on your own, remember that other s are able to be a part of the trip by donating. Don't take the blessing away from them by being shy or timid about writing a letter. We have provided a sample letter to help you get started.
When you write your letters, you first want to ask for their PRAYERS. Prayer is the key to a successful trip and even if the person will not donate to your trip, they will still pray for you.
Finally, if you still fall short of the total cost of the trip, you need to let your team captain know and he will contact the mission office. Money has never been an obstacle to prevent someone to go, there may be others who received more than enough to cover their cost and can help defray your cost. In short - "Do not worry about the money!"God has an awesome way of providing for his children.
