Do a party like thing were you can do several activities that people can pay for. things like silent auctions or whatever. 3. you can do a talent show in your community were people will pay to participate or to come in and watch. its an easy way to evangelize too People are usually generous if you explain to them why you are doing what you are doing. all the best and let us know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True ... checked the profile, but like many here, there was no age given. Sorry for coming off so strong. Can you tell us more of the mission you are joining and how much you have to raise?

They have asked people in church if there are any odd jobs they can do to raise money. Some have had them rake leaves or haul wood. They have also asked anyone if they can donate frequent flyer miles for the trip. A local pizza parlor will let them work there and they will get all tips plus a percentage of all pizza sales that night. They are talking about having people donate things for an auction. Some people in the church are donating money. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your friends together and bake some goodies and ask the pastor if you can have a sale after church one sunday. The amount of money you spend on the ingredients will be miniscule compared to your profits. Also be sure to tell people WHY you're having the bake sale and have a jar available for people who want to donate. This is also kind of a nice way to ask people for money, without actually asking for it outright. I found that having information on the missions trip you want to go on made people more apt to donate and/or buy as well. You could also consider putting on a "church lunch". Most churches have ladies groups that I'm sure would be more than willing to help you out. God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
