Your support letters will be the primary source of raised donations for our mission's trip! Once completed, we will email and mail and hand them out to everyone we know! I will also be compiling them all for a submission to multiple corporations and media outlets for awareness and hopes of sponsorships and more! So how do you write one?
Some quick tips:
1. Keep it simple - get to the point!
2. Be yourself - share your heart!
3. Invite everyone & anyone - Just getting the letter and reading it, makes someone a supporter!
4. Pray for it - Pray for everyone you share your letters with!
WRITING IDEAS:
Remeber this "formula" - ME, WE, GOD, YOU, WE. A 5 point formula that can help you write your letter! keeping the quick tips above in mind, try this:
* ME - Introduce yourself and tell them why you're writing!
* WE - Why are you writing to them and what do you want them to know!
* GOD - What this trip is all about! How that empowers you, motivates you, and makes you feel!
* YOU - So how can YOU help? How can you be part of the trip?
* WE - With all that said, what can WE do together, as spiritual partners in Christ, on this Mission Trip?
Some additional tips:
a) If you want to add a photo, it really helps remind them what you're all about. Make ir personal! If you need a photo scanned or help adding it to your letter, let me help!
b) Share your letter before finishing it with someone else. Let them be part of your heart and give you feedback, and even help with small things such as spelling and grammer!
c) Type it up! Don't let it be something that is difficult to read. Sign it yourself at the bottom of it in your own hand.
d) Use my support letter as an example for you... you can also contact me for the Word Document so you can copy and paste the cutoff template. Use that!
Questions: Call or email me ANY time. Day or night...
God Bless you!
