Sponsorship Letter

We have been getting emails wanting information about writing a letter to potential financial contributors. Thank you Jonathan Wheeler for writing this letter. Please feel free to copy and paste or simply use it as a guide in writing your own.

Dear Friends and Family, (be specific when you address an individual, call them Mr. or Mrs.) 

I hope this letter finds you enjoying the blessings of the Lord. I want to be mindful of your time today. The purpose of this letter is to inform you about a mission that I am going to be going on in July of 2012 with the Apostolic Youth Corps of the ALJC. If you would like more information on this mission please check out our mission blog at www.apostolicyouthcorps.blogspot.com.  

Our mission will take us to the continent of Europe. We will be flying from Chicago on July 16, 2012 and we will be returning on July 28. Our journey will take us to three different countries over a 2 week span. We will start out in the nation of Ireland, travel to Paris for 1 day and then fly to Poland to finish out the last 4 days of our mission. The ultimate purpose of this mission is to reach the souls of Europe with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will be passing out 75,000 flyers in the streets of Waterford, Ireland and Krakow, Poland. Along with passing out the flyers in Ireland will be organizing a block party in the streets of Waterford. We will worship, pray and preach in the streets of Ireland. 

In Poland we will pass out several thousand flyers promoting the first ever Apostolic church to be planted in the city of Krakow. We will also be traveling to Birkenau to visit a WWII concentration camp. Along with passing out flyers and visiting the concentration camp we will be praying as a group each night for the souls of Krakow and the entire nation of Poland. 

This will be one of the most impacting missions I have ever been a part of. I am writing this sponsorship letter to ask for your contribution. I have broken down my expenses for this mission.

If you are able to contribute please make all checks payable to (your local church name) and put (your name) in the memo section of the check. Please mail the check to my local church (list your church name and address here)
