Resources

Raising Support For Mission Trips

There are two ways you can invite your friends and family to support you on a mission project.

  1. Prayer: ask and encourage others to pray for you and your team in preparation for the trip, while you’re there, and for the days following.

  2. Finances: You can utilize social media, letters, and our unique trip online giving pages to raise support. We provide you with many different tools and resources to do this. Your trip leader can walk with you in this process.

Reach out to nancyc@gfbc.org for any questions.

They guide clients through recovery and life restoration programs focused on physical, mental, relational, vocational, and spiritual health.
