EXAMPLE 1 - Nicaragua Dear [Insert recipient s name here], This winter I have the wonderful opportunity to participate in a mission trip to Casa Bernabe orphanage. There will be a team of us from Eagle Brook Church going to partner with ORPHANetwork to serve the orphans in Managua, Nicaragua. This organization is run by nationals and is doing incredible humanitarian work through the local church. God is doing great things in Nicaragua. It is exciting to know that I can be a part of it. We will be flying from Minneapolis on [Departure date] and returning [Return date]. This will allow us one full week to serve directly with the orphans and in their community. During the week we anticipate serving in several ways, such as working with children at the orphanages, loving on and serving children who come to Feeding Centers for likely their only meal of the day, and assisting with various projects around the orphanage. I look forward to being a part of this and learning more. We will stay at a local site and get firsthand experience of the culture. Our team will be meeting in preparation for this trip. As part of the training I will undergo to prepare for this experience, I will learn how to share the news of God s love and will be trained in servant hood, teamwork, and effective ministry. I am excited to learn more about Nicaragua and how God will use my gifts to serve him. I believe that God has called me to be part of this mission trip and I am inviting you to be part of this adventure with me. My desire is to enlist as least 20 people who will pray with me faithfully through my training and my time in Nicaragua. There is also an opportunity to be a part of financially supporting our trip. Our team will need to raise [Insert team goal here], and my personal goal is to help raise [Insert your trip cost here]. I will pay this through contributing myself and through donations.

7 EXAMPLE 3 Asking for specific dollar amount from each person Dear Billy, I wanted to share about an awesome opportunity I have coming up this spring! On June 18-27, I am going on a trip with others from my church to Cebu, Philippines to assist our partnership church (Quest Community Fellowship) with their small group environments. If you are anything like me, small groups or community groups have significantly impacted your life. I can t begin to imagine where I would be if God hadn t strategically caused my life to intersect with other men who were pursuing a growing relationship with Christ. Each of the small groups I ve been a part of served as a catalyst to grow me both personally and spiritually. I m thrilled about this trip. Just think how a church, a city, and even a country could be changed if people began connecting with their Heavenly Father through small groups. The world would never be the same! Here is how you can help. I need 100 people to give $32 towards the cost of my trip. I m not asking for a penny more. In our current economy, I completely understand the financial strain each of us is facing, so I m asking you to invest a small amount that I m sure will reap HUGE eternal rewards. Please join me through prayer and giving by 1. Go to (insert your Fund-a-trip link). 2. Click on the Donate button. 3. Enter the info requested: name, , and your credit or debit card donation info. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

8 EXAMPLE 4 Mentioning the specifics of what you will be doing if known Dear {Personal Name}, I will be going on a mission trip with my church to South Africa in November. I am extremely excited about it and feel very blessed to have been given this amazing opportunity to participate in God s work. I am at a place in my life where I know it is time for me to look outside of my comfort zone and spend time helping people who live in an area that has experienced years of suffering, hatred, and sadness. I will be traveling with 20 team members to a suburb of Cape Town, where we will spend 10 days working with our church partner, Southpoint Church. Here are a couple of goals for our trip I would like to share with you. First, we will be working with a school in the following ways: 1. Setting up a computer network (they have had loads of computers donated but they are locked up in a container because they don t have anyone to set them up) 2. Painting the school 3. Providing new desks and chairs for the school 4. Providing new black and white boards in all classrooms 5. Providing new floorboards 6. Doing general repair to walls 7. Taking students on a field trip Lastly we will be working with Metro Kids (this organization connects with 3000 kids every week in Guguletu). We will: 1. Do a SIDEWALK presentation for the kids (singing, acting, storytelling, connecting with the kids). 2. Meet with the hundreds of young leaders (teenagers and some university students) through whom Metro Kids works to connect with the 3,000 kids. We will shadow them on their visits to connect with the kids, as well as spend Saturday with them and give them a huge treat a trip to a nice place! I would like to give you the opportunity to be an integral part of our trip by asking for your financial donation and/or gifts of prayer for our team. Please prayerfully consider what you can do at this time. No gift, be in financial or act of prayer, is too small. To make a financial contribution (donations are tax-deductible), donate online at: (insert fundraising link). With your contribution, I promise to use the gifts God has given me to further his kingdom and share his love. Thank you in advance for your time and whatever you can give. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you want to learn more about my church, mission trips, or South Africa. I truly believe our team can help bring healing and God s love to the people of South Africa. THANK YOU!
