Sample Missions Letter

Family and friends,

God has been up to amazing things in my life and
heart. He has brought clarity to my identity as his
daughter and confidence to my call as his follower.
Part of my call includes sharing the unconditional
love of God through the salvation message of
Jesus Christ to the lost, hurting, and marginalized
people groups in our world. I have the honor to
further grow in this call by joining a team traveling
to Oaxaca, Mexico November 13th - November
22nd. The focus of the trip will be hosting two
evangelistic festivals in Juchitan and La Venta, both
expecting to see 5K-6K attend. These festivals are
large community events where families share a
meal with friends, play games, hear the message of
Jesus, and receive prayers for healing and
deliverance. We re expecting mass salvations,
deliverance and strengthening for the local
churches.

                                           Partnering with me through financial and prayer support as I
                                           embark on this mission trip would be greatly appreciated.
                                           Our teams financial goal is $22,000. My personal
                                           contribution to this mission trip will be $1,500, in which most
                                           will be fundraised and supported through your generosity.
                                           To      support      this     effort,      please      go    to

                                           photo and click “Support Halie”. Thank you for your
                                           continued prayer and financial support as we prepare to
                                           minister in Oaxaca.
