I want to do some community service, but I would love to go on mission trips like going to remote villages and helping people in poverty. Do you know of any foundations that host mission trips?

Look here: http://www.ntm.org

I’m bringing my youth group (about 20 or so kids) to Orlando, FL next summer for a mission trip. We have a day off on a Saturday and I’m in need of some help. I need to know the best/closest beach for us to visit for a day. If possible, I’d like to find a beach that won’t be too crowded as well.

Cocoa Beach is the Closest. Head East on the Beachline (SR 528) from Orlando and it is about 1 hour away. Parts may be crowded on a good day but it’s a long beach and there will be plenty of uncrowded sections.

Another Option is the Canaveral National Seashore. This will be most uncrowded, but also has no facilities – save parking-lots and primitive toilets – but it is pristine and un molested. There are two access points. The Southern end (Playalinda Beach) is accessed from Titusville and the Kennedy Space center. The Northern end (Apollo Beach) is accessed from New Smyrna Beach. The two sections do not connect by road and are 30 miles apart. The South entrance may be closed if it is a shuttle launch day as the access road in the Kennedy Space Center. The Northern end of Playalinda is the unofficial nude beach, so stick to the first 5 or 6 parking lots if you go to Playalinda and don’t want encounter the unclothed.

To get to Apollo Beach you have to drive right through New Smyrna Beach. This is also a good, family oriented beach with many uncrowded sections. You can drive on many sections of the beach, but other sections (south of 27th Ave) are off limits to cars.

New Smyrna is a little over an hour away (I-4 and SR 44). Add another 15 or 20 minutes to get to Apollo Beach

This summer I am going on a mission trip with my youth group to guatamala that will cost about $1200

I am also going on a people to people student ambassador trip to australia, which I’m thinking will end up costing me about $5000

And then during spring break, my french class is going to france and that will cost $1800-$2300

That’s about 9000 dollars I have to raise on my own! [well, I'm sure my parents will pitch in a little, but right now they are saying I have to do it all myself] and I need some GOOD ideas on how to make it.

I know that I can do things like bakesales, but I don’t know how to get started on anything.
Can you please explain how to get started and how much I will make with each fundraiser you include? Thank you!

Oh, and if I’m going to ask for donations from businesses, what kind of businesses would be best to ask, and how do I go about asking?

Thank you!!!

All you have to do for a bake sale is find a location (we usually have ours in the Wal-Mart parking lot – but any high trafficked are will do), advertise (newspaper, flyers, radio) and get friends/family/church to donate baked goods. I’ve found that if you explain to your customers what you’re raising the money for and ask them to donate what they think is appropriate rather than pricing the baked goods you’ll make more money.
A fundraising idea that is a little more work, but can be a good money maker is to have a Communtiy Sale. Put up flyers and let churches know that you are having a Community Sale for (fill in the blank) and would be happy to take any donated items that people want to get rid of (anything they would put in a garage sale). People are usually happy to get the stuff off of their hands and you end up having a MUCH bigger sale than if you were only going through selling your unwanted items. If you can find a place to have the sale for free (like your church or the local community center) it’s an all profit fundraiser – you just have to spend the time to organize and run the sale. Some people go to garage sales almost as a sport, so I would suggest pricing all of the items (unlike the bake sale) so you don’t get taken advantage of.
When asking businesses for money call ahead and ask for a time to meet with the mangager/owner in person. People are busy and don’t like walk-ins, but you’ll have better luck if you can talk to the person face to face. Explain to them how much $$ you need, how much you’ve already raised, what it’s for, how it helps your future plans (college applications, preparing for work in ministry, etc.), and how much it would mean if they could help. Also be open to accepting donations of goods rather than $$ and you can use them for a raffle as another fundraising idea.

i’m doing a research project about traveling and i chose missions trips to be my topic. I need some kind of reference which gives me an idea of what christians experience while they are on a missions trip. Any suggestions?

kingdom of heaven it is about the crusades

I would go every 4 weeks and it’s 50 dollars a trip. This is something i really want to do but i can’t affored =[[[
omg. a mission trip is when you go out to spread the word of God and help others and learn what it’s like to be in other peoples shoes

Most legitimate and well-run mission organizations will provide you with ways to raise the funds needed for mission trips. Be aware, as well, that you may well have other costs. For example, is the cost of meals included? Do you have a passport? Do you need medical insurance and/or vaccinations? I have posted links below to several mission trip organizers who have worked in Mexico. This may give you more food for thought.

on a mission trip my youth director matched us each to a biblical character that he thought we matched closely with/could relate to. I understand the story, but still can’t seem to pull out many general characteristics.

1. One apparent characteristic; willing to overlook an offense.
Possible 2nd characteristic. Willing to change.

I am writing a support letter for a mission trip. I need a good closing salutation. What is a good Christian one?

With love, Your Brother (or) Sister in Christ,

Then your name!

I’m going to be gone in a Guatemala missions trip for a week. I know make-up isn’t the number 1 priority on this kind of a trip, but I don’t want to completely ignore it and go without make-up altogether. What are some of your experiences on mission trips? Did you take a little time with your hair and also make-up? I need tips. Thanks!

keep it totally simple. pull your hair back in a ponytail and just use the basics in makeup i.e. mascara and lipgloss. good luck
