When you let your friends, family, church, and community know about your upcoming mission trip, you are support raising, not just fundraising.
Sending a donation link or writing support letters means that they can not only supporting you financially, but that they are also getting the opportunity to travel with you, learn alongside you, as you prepare, serve on mission, and return to share your experiences with them. Open yourself up to the idea that this trip experience can, and should, move beyond yourself and the people you will be serving. Allow people here to journey with you, invest in you, and learn from you as you go.
