I have the most exciting news to share with you. It involves my personal life, and my walk with God. I am part of a team that
is going on a Mission Trip to Managua, Nicaragua with ( might wish to mention church, school or organization) We are
going with a volunteer organization called P.A.N., Presbyterians Aiding Nicaraguans. We are going from (Insert Your travel
Dates). The main purpose is to (write the purpose of your trip).
Some of the other activities we will take part in are:
• helping out at one of the CEF, Child Evangelism Fellowship, feeding centres to feed the children
• visit and take part in the local Bible Clubs
• visit, do crafts with and perform skits for children in the cancer ward of the local hospital, plus at local orphanages,
at Bluebird House, a home for mentally challenged children, plus schools
• collect here and then distribute clothes, toiletries, toothbrushes, bedding and school supplies to the children we visit
in Nicaragua
• distribute bibles to the children and others we meet (purchased in Nicaragua)
• tours of the local area to experience the peoples and culture of Nicaragua
• live dormitory style at "Angels' Inn" in Managua.
We, as a group, are fund raising for the building costs of approximately $11,000 USD, plus each person is saving for their
flights and accommodation, another $2,000. We also are able to take medical packs with us through a group called Health
Partners International of Canada. Each medical pack costs $550 and contains $6,000 - $10,000 worth of medical supplies.
These will be distributed to the hospitals.
In this extremely exciting, yet challenging venture, we are hoping you will support us. This support can be in different ways:
• Please pray for us as we prepare for our venture and while we are in Nicaragua.
• Gather up school supplies, toiletries, clothes in excellent shape and running shoes for us to take to the children.
• Support our fund raising ventures:
• Donate directly for our building costs or a medical pack, or my personal costs.
All cheques are to be made out to (Please have cheques made payable to your church if possible). Memo on your cheque
for the build or medical pack, or to my name if you wish to help with my personal expenses. Please include your name and
address so tax receipts can be mailed to you. You may mail your cheques to me at (Your Mailing Address Would Go Here).
We will keep you updated as to our preparations and progress. Also, on return we would be pleased to share our
experiences.

Yours in the service of Christ Jesus,
