Student Missions

https://iminc.org/go/student-missions/

This year, we are diving into some amazing things here at IM. Student Missions is sending out almost 200 students to 15 different countries!

Whether you’re a student, family member, donor, or just here for fun, please join us in praying for these students, the missionaries, and the people they will minister to.

Fundraising idea

Here’s the latest from ETEAM and CMP:

Dr. Eddie Moody shares how ETEAM & CMP affect our youth:

NAFWB Executive Director, Dr. Eddie Moody, got to sit down and chat with Thom and Jess Rainer on their podcast – Church Answers.
Dr. Moody proudly shares, “Students who participated in programs like ETEAM, CMP, and Truth and Peace are benefitting the Free Will Baptist denomination greatly.
A great strength in the Free Will Baptist Denomination is our youth. We are the third youngest denomination.
85% of students and young adults who did ETEAM, CMP, and Truth & Peace are ministering in three or more ministries.
Doing these programs give students and young adults more responsibilities and roles in their local churches and ministries.”
Pastor Jess Rainer replies, “You said the phrase ‘we keep our kids’ which is HUGE and doesn’t happen often.”
Dr. Moody responds, “That’s who we are – we try to reach anybody and everybody we can with the Gospel and that permeates through everything that happens with us.
The heartbeat of Free Will Baptist is loving God and loving people wherever we go.”

This month’s fundraising idea!

Deadline reminder!!!
CMP: 1/3 of funds due by January 20, 2025
ETEAM: 1/2 of funds due by February 15, 2025

Meal – Lunch/ Dinner/ potluck at your church!

I will say, “church goers” LOVE an after church feast! Why don’t you host something like this to fundraise some extra cash for your mission trip?

You could always have others bring a side or desert and collect cash at the door to enter, or make it free to enter but have different options & ways to give.

And for food, you could do a seafood broil, a taco bar, a southern cooked meal, some BBQ, and so much more. Use your creativity on this one!
. . .
(Repeat!) Send out fundraising letters!

We sent out this fundraising idea last month BUT we have so many new faces join our email. So, we are sending this out again for others to have!

One of the biggest ways to help your fundraising journey is to directly ask those around you to help give towards a bigger cause. We have created a template fundraising letter for you to use at your expense of fundraising for your trip next summer!
