# Mission Trip Prayer & Financial Support Letter Dear Friends and Family: I want to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity that God has presented to me. From September 29 through October 12, I have the opportunity to be a part of a mission team from First Family Church traveling to Europe. The purpose of this trip is to support and encourage our church’s missionary partners in France, Germany, and Sweden. This will also be a learning opportunity as we experience the post-Christian culture of Europe and learn better how to pray for God’s work in this area of the world. While God has opened up a door for me to develop a greater heart of compassion for His people around the world, the exciting part is that you will be able to share in this compassion in several ways. First, you can join me in praying for our trip and for my fellow teammates. Please pray and ask the Lord to prepare us for our visit and bless our efforts as we minister to the people of Europe. Another way you can be involved is to help provide financial support. Would you consider supporting me with a donation? Each team member needs to contribute $2500 to cover the cost of this trip. I have included a postage-paid envelope for you to use. Make your check payable to First Family Church, and please write my name and Europe 2015 in the memo field of your church. Your gift will be a tax-deductible contribution. Whether you are led to contribute financially, through prayer, or both, your support is appreciated. I am looking forward with anticipation to how the Lord will use this trip to shape and mold me as I seek join Him in his worldwide work of bring the gospel to the nations. After returning from our trip, I will be sure to report back to you on the blessings and challenges from our time in Europe. God Bless, Your Name.
