What companies donate money for missions trips?
I am going on two missions trips next summer and need to raise $4300. I was wondering if anyone knows of certain companies that might donate for this type of thing.
OK…Jonathon I am sure you do not realize how ignorant that sounded. As for your mission money, I am not sure about large companies but I know Wal-mart and Target both support missions although I sure their lists of those applying are very long. What I would do is write a heartfelt letter explaining your trips and all the details of monies needed, as well as why you want to go and what your personal goals as well the goals of the mission group.If you can provide links to websites. Explain you cannot do this on your own and are in need of help. Send it to everyone! Also create a blog page to document your journey, provide a link. Add a meter of some sort to show where you are at in your finances. Give your address and set up a pay pal account to accept donations. Don’t forget to update it often and add thank yous to those who have helped journal your trip as well during and after along with photos. People need to see the fruit. Don’t forget car washes, speaking at bible studies, Sunday schools, a special collection at church.
You have to raise it yourself. There are no organizations that will pay your way.
Where in the hell are you going that it’s going to take $4300? Don’t you know that you can buy an airplane ticket to any 3rd world country… when you land… take the first public transportation into the countryside and then when you see a place you like.. get out and walk around asking where the local missionary church or hospital is… and you can find a home..
I don’t know why people think they have to go on a missionary TRIP and pay big bucks to do it.
