Dear _______
This year I am giving up my spring break to go on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Our group will be staying on the east side near San Pedro de Macoris. From there we will be working with local Seventh-day Adventist Churches and Schools doing several construction and ministry projects.
Some of our projects will be holding VBS for children in poor villages, door-to-door visitation, building additional classrooms for a really overcrowded school (they go to school in shifts), and hopefully completing a church I a small settlement.
I know it will be hard work but I am looking forward to serving and learning about another culture. I am asking my friends and family to help me with the cost of this trip. I will also be doing other fund-raising, but I need half the $1,350 cost of the trip by February 15th, and the rest by March when we leave.
If you like to help me with the cost of this trip I know you will be blessed to see all that we are able to accomplish in just eleven days. Also, I am sure this is a trip I will always remember as a great experience. Whether or not you are able to help me financially please, keep me and our whole group in your prayers.
Thanks for your help.
