How We Raise Support
Pray. Pray that God will lead you and your team to look for the resources for this trip.
Evaluate Your Contribution. Other people can tell you the surprising places God provided money: unexpected refund checks, garage sales, extra income opportunities. Challenge individuals to plan ahead and to evaluate what sacrifices they can make in the next few months to contribute toward their trip.
Look Outside of the Church.Friends, relatives, co-workers, and neighbors (even unbelievers) will feel blessed to invest in you and God's leading in your life. Seek their support.
Ask Inside of the Church. Ask your small group or ministry team friends to pray about God's leading to give prayer and/or financial help for this opportunity. Do not ask people, however, unless you have some kind of connection with them. And only ask your youth pastor to support you as a way to practice - not for real money!
