Sample Letter for Asia:
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Johnson,
I’ve enjoyed living here in Lincoln and working with the Nationwide Insurance Company as a computer
programmer. I’ve also been growing in my relationship with God as I’ve been involved with our church,
Candlewood Church. I have a growing desire to help others also know about Jesus Christ.
This June 19 – July 4th, I have the opportunity to help a church share the gospel
in “Asia.” Specific location is not shared for security reasons. Some of us are
planning to go on a short-term mission trip sponsored by Candlewood Church.
On this trip we will be working with a local church. Because the students are
eager to learn English, we will help them learn and practice English with us. We
will also be helping them learn the Bible and understand how they can have a
relationship with God.
In order to make this possible, I need to develop a team of people to support me and the team. I would value
your prayer and any financial help you could give. For Candlewood to send me, it will cost $2650. I am trusting
the Lord to provide people who will join me in prayer and for those would like to help me with the costs of this
trip.
Could you prayerfully consider being a part of my support team, as we plan to help the students and people of
Asia? Of the $2650, $400 is needed by February 1st, another $800 by March 1st so the cheapest airfares can be
purchased. We need the final $1450 is needed by June 1st. If you choose to help, I have enclosed a response
card with you can simply fill it out and enclose it in the envelope I have provided. If you write a check, in the
memo please write “ # ______” which is the number designated for me.
I appreciate your friendship and I look forward to talking with you more personally about this opportunity.
Sincerely,
(Your signature)
P.S. I’ll be giving you a call soon, so we can talk more. (This ps depends on who you are writing. If you say you
will call then be faithful to call them.)
(Small print at the end) Gifts to support mission trips sponsored by Candlewood Church are tax-deductible.
Checks should be made out to Candlewood Church. Should the mission trip become over-funded, Candlewood
Church will use the excess funds for mission activity in Asia. In the unlikely event that the mission trip is
changed or canceled, or the missionary is unable to make the mission trip, Candlewood Church will use the
collected funds for mission activity in Asia.
