SPONSORSHIP LETTERS

By far, the best way to raise funds for your trip is through sponsorship letters and personal contact. As a matter of fact, MOST of the funds raised at New Life for PEACE Trips come from participants sending sponsorship letters.

These letters should be sent to friends, family, co-workers, and anyone else who may be interested in helping you go to the Mission Field. REMEMBER to "think outside the box."

The benefit of sponsorship letters is that they also raise prayer support and awareness of the need. With each letter you send, you are building a TEAM of people that will be praying for you and encouraging you in this endeavor. Don't see yourself as a fundraiser, but as a VISION SETTER. As you present the needs of the mission field and the reasons why you are going, people will be willing to give to see these needs met.

Keys to a successful letter
1. Get them out early -- as soon as you are sure you are going on the trip
2. Be clear about where you are going and what you are doing - so they know it's not a vacation
3. Don't limit your letters to Christian family & friends
4. Send Thank You Letters for every gift
5. Send, Send, Send -- the more letters you send the better

         On average, it will take about 30 letters for every $1000 you hope to raise
