Fundraising for Baptist Mission Trips
September 9th, 2009
As you may know, my (soon-to-be) wife and I are Christians. We also feel called to full-time ministry, possibly working overseas teaching English or maybe even translating the Bible into some obscure language. We don’t really know. But what we do know is that we are called to GO and we need to start fundraising now so that we can be a part of whatever God wants us to do in the future.
This is one of the biggest reasons why I’m working a full-time job at the church and working my personal business as an entrepreneur an additional 20 hours a week on the side.
While owning your own business isn’t right for everyone, it can be a powerful fundraising tool. The type of income you will generate with our company will continue to pay you every single month, even if you’re overseas somewhere in a tiny hut or jungle.
There is no required cost to stay in business, either, which is another thing we like about being in business for ourselves. We have some monthly expenses now that are related to our business (like websites) but as soon as we find ourselves overseas we can eliminate those expenses and simply enjoy God’s work without being financially stressed.
Lastly, (this is seriously one of my favorite things) we have one product in particular (electricity service) that is FREE to sign-up for and saves people money. So if our friends and family can’t afford a “donation” every month to support our efforts we can ask them to see how much they’re paying for electricity. If our service is cheaper (which it usually is) they may be willing to switch to our company and support us in this way. They save and we get funded! Does it get any better than that?
If you’re interested in fundraising for Christian missions work then give us a c all at: 214.682.5331 or ask how you can support our work by switching your electricity service to us. It is 100% FREE and will usually save you quite abit of money. (We don’t want you to switch to us if it ends up costing you more.)
