Support Letters:

Throughout the Bible we find many instances where ministry was supported by others. going on a mission trip is an awesome experience and part of it has to do with the fact that we relinquish our trust in God to provide for our needs. Reaching out to others for help does have great benefits:

	It makes your effort a community effort... others are joining by contributing and praying for you.
	You will have a higher sense of responsibility and stewardship.
	It will enable you to find those that will be your "prayer partners" before, during and after your trip.

It will make the financial burden more bearable.

Team members should start sending support letters as soon as application is accepted.

Below, we include some suggestions on writing support letters, a sample letter to help you as a guide, and some other tips that you should keep in mind.

Fundraising Suggestions & Sample Support Letter

All your Support Checks must be made out to: Woodland Hills Church

In the Memo line your supporters can write: Honduras

Your name CANNOT be anywhere on the check

Mail/turn-in support checks to Nancy only. Do not mail or deliver your funds directly to the church since Nancy is responsible for keeping track of them and then turn them in to the church.

You will receive a detailed report of your donors and total funding.

ALL your donors will receive a tax-deductible receipt.

Team Fundraising:

The Honduras and Costa Rica Mission's teams will be collaborating on a Mother's Day Rose Sale at Woodland Hills Church (see map with driving directions) This is a mandatory event for the whole team. We will be accomplishing three different items:

	Fundrasing Rose Sale: Saturday 5/8 (500PM), Sunday 5/9 (8AM, 10AM, & 12PM)
	Final ALL team meeting (in between services on Sunday)
	Commissioning as a mission's team to Honduras: at the beginning of every service.

The sale and commissioning are great opportunities for us to share with others why God is moving us to go to Honduras and also to promote a higher awareness for global mission's efforts. The funds gathered in this event will be used as follows: 50% will be donated for current projects of Restoration Church and 50% will be used to cover funding requirements for team members.

Unless I hear otherwise (from you)... here is where you're assigned:

Greeters: Responsible to greet and invite people to purchase and lead them to complete the purchase in a timely fashion. Team: Debbera Clark, Brenda Kelm, Miguel Ruiz, Kathy Koepke, Robert Abt.

Stock: Responsible to load and unload buckets with roses to tables as needed. Also maintain an approximate count of what we still have in inventory unsold. Team: Matt Pollema, Janice Sjostrand, Angela Dahlin

Cashiers: Responsible to get the payment from the customers and to keep and turn in a full tally with funds collected. Also responsible to write down names of donors whose contribution was above amount of purchase or with no purchase. Team: Ingrid Walden, Andrea Pollema, Meghann Morris

Setup/Teardown: Responsible to setup tables, flowers and balloons before sale and to store supplies after sale. Team: Nancy Odenbrett, Preston Odenbrett, Anne Philipsen, Tim Kelley.
