| Questions about: Money and Missions |
| Tyler: (09/19/07) Very simple question. I am in my last year off college I was blessed enough to get though college with little loans (no more that $5,000). Once I graduate and the money is raised I will be heading to Romania for missions. Basically the question is, what is the best way to raise the support. I have no missions support from my home church, I am 23 and right out of college? Will random churches take me serious enough? Just wondering what you think.

| Jack: A classic question, Tyler. The simple answer would be that "random churches" may well not show much interest in you. Most churches have many calls on their slender resources. They would also want to know why your own home church was not interested in supporting you.
Your best option may be to write a general letter explaining what you feel called to do and send a copy to your friends. I am send you two resources by Bill Dillon: His book, which is a classic: William P. Dillon. People Raising. A Practical Guide to Raising Support. Chicago: Moody Press, 1993. His website on fund raising http://www.peopleraising.com/ask.cfm He has excellent suggestions. I trust these will be helpful to you. Jack |
