Monday, March 1st, 2010Duluth GA /Alpharetta/Roswell CPA Offers Sample Support Letter to Raise Financial & Prayer Support for Navajo Family Missions…Taking Christianity Into the World
The model that I believe is having the largest impact in Worldwide and Local Mission Work is to seek the prayer and financial support of others to support in action and deed efforts to support others in being the Hands & Feet of Jesus Christ. Below is a Sample Support Letter one might use as a guide in developing their own:
I hope that all is well with you. Life has been going so fast here lately with work, church and family. I have been so blessed by God over the past few years and have grown so much through the ministries of our church, Sugarloaf UMC. It has been a long journey, but worth every minute.
Part of that journey is stepping out in faith to do some radical things and this summer, July 11-July 17, I have prayerfully committed to go with a group from my church to Pueblo Pintado, NM. As Matthew 28:19-20 reminds us: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
I feel a genuine calling to go and help these people. In an area that is faced with severe poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, violent crimes, no jobs and so much more, many of the children are forced to go to work and are not allowed to finish high school or some even middle school. They have faced many pains over the years as they have desperately tried to hang on to their culture. They are a warm, loving people who are slow to trust because of the atrocities that have befallen them – but they are so grateful when we come and just share our love and our time with them.
Our mission will be to go and help them through vacation bible school, construction, adult bible study, ministry, sports camps, senior center visits, community nights. to talk about the transforming power of Jesus Christ and so much more. Just being able to be the hands and feet of Christ is enough to reach these people and show them God’s love.
I hope that you will join me on the journey. Given the nature of the trip, there are many things that can’t be accomplished without your support. I would be so honored if you would work alongside me prayerfully and financially. I so need your prayers during this trip, as does the rest of our mission team. Please begin to pray that as a team we follow God’s will, for the people of Pueblo Pintado and that when it is time for us to go, we will be prepared for experiences that our eyes and our hearts have never experienced. Along with prayer, I also need to raise $800 per person to cover my transportation, room and board.
If you are willing to give sacrificially, either with prayer or financial support, please fill out the enclosed card and mail it back in the self-address stamped envelope. If you chose to give financially, please make your checks out to Sugarloaf UMC.
I am so excited to be a part of this team and I thank you for your support and for taking this journey with me.
In the Matchless Name of Jesus Christ,

We feel led to take Christ to the Navajo Nation (approximately the size of West Virginia). We are looking to take our model of service to the Navajo in Pueblo Pintado by partnering with churches, Bible Study Groups, Rotary, Chambers of Commerce and Kiwanis and then branching out to other locations on the reservation.
