A Note About Mission Trip Fundraising in 2016

Faith desires to be a “sending” church that supports and encourages those ministering to unreached and underserved people at home and around the world.  The Session encourages members to support missions through prayer, financial support, and participation in the field. To this end, three foreign ministry trips have been commissioned by the church for 2016:

1.      Uganda (Spring 2016)

2.      Uganda (Summer 2016)

3.      Nicaragua (Summer 2016)

 Although costs are carefully controlled, trips are expensive and teams are expected to raise support through various means.   

This year, rather than receiving multiple fund-raising letters from individual participants, the Missions Committee has organized this single support request for all three trips listed above on behalf of all delegates approved to go. Our goal for member giving is to raise $35,000, roughly half of the cost of the trips. The other half will be raised by the teams from their own resources or sources outside the church.  Much of your funds will be used to directly support local ministries on the ground in Uganda and Nicaragua. 

Please consider designating a single gift to “Faith Summer Missions” in support of the Uganda and Nicaragua trips and to encourage the traveling members in their support-raising work.  You can give directly to summer missions online by clicking here.
