Dear

I'd like to share with you a trip that I am going to take that will hopefully be a life changing experience for the people I come in contact with, as well as me.

This is my first mission trip and I am very excited. Along with about 15 others from New Joy Church, our team will be traveling to the Manassas, VA from June 13th thru the 18th. While we are there we will be completing a number of service projects that will touch the lives of many in the community. Through this we hope to make an impact on those we serve by sharing God’s love.

Now, all I need is the money to get there. We will be involved in fundraisers to earn money; however, I will need sponsors. Any amount that you might be able to give would be greatly appreciated. If you are sending a check, please make it out to:
New Joy Church
35 New Joy Drive
Ephrata, Pa 17522
In the memo line write "KIDZ Mission" and add a note with the check indicating that it is to support me on the mission trip. I believe that with prayer and God's help my financial need will be met.

Please pray for me as I prepare for this mission and while we are there. Pray that people will see the love of Jesus through us and will be touched in some way. My prayer is that this trip proves to be life changing for the people of Manassas even more than for myself.

Thank you for letting me share with you what will be one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. If you cannot help in a financial way, please help support me with your prayers.
