How to Raise Support for a Mission Trip

METHODS TO RAISE YOUR SUPPORT 1.  Pray for God’s wisdom and blessing. If God wants you to come on the trip, He will provide the money for you to go, but you have to work at it.  (I Cor. 15:10) 2.  Send out a letter to all of the friends, family, and pastors that you know (see Sample Support Letter below).

Deputation Countdown!

We are so excited that after 3 years at Vision preparing for the mission field, we will be starting full-time deputation in 78 days! I cannot even begin to tell you how much we have learned in our years here at Vision, and especially, from our pastor. Bro. Austin Gardner spent 20 years in Peru as a church-planting missionary, and was greatly used of God. The Our Generation Training Center here at Vision Baptist Church is a breeding ground for missionaries, and what makes it so effective is that young people are given something that often is overlooked in Bible colleges and institutes: one-on-one teaching and mentoring from veteran missionaries and missions mobilizers. If you know someone who has a heart touched by God for missions, I highly recommend that they come and spend some time at the training center, so that they will be effective on the field.

Great Quote

I thought this quite convicting. May God bless you greatly as you serve Him. Great quotes from Leonard Ravenhill: [Concerning one of the new “movements” in the church that was causing a stir among Christians:] “There’s also a stir when the circus comes to town.” When there’s something in the Bible that churches don’t like, [...]
