Support letter example: Evangelism and medical work in Uganda

Dear ______,
	
Twin Lakes Church's upcoming trip to Uganda affords the best opportunity we have yet seen to have large numbers of people hear the Gospel. The scenes of our previous trips, Spain and Mexico, were very hard fields; Uganda is much more open. Lord willing, I will be part of a team of 15 people from Twin Lakes Church going to Uganda this summer!
	
We will be going there to help our missionaries, Drs. Dick and Ivy Otto, reach out from the Kijabe Medical Center. Some members of the team will help the outreach by training the staff at Kijabe in the areas of their medical specialties. For the rest of us (non-medical people) the Head Chaplain has thrown open the ministries of the Kijabe Medical Center.
	
We will share the Gospel and the comfort of God with patients at their bedside. We will sing and share the Gospel at noon evangelistic services at the hospital. Through the Mobile Health Clinics, we will take infant inoculations to little towns where the children have never seen a white man.

We then will minister to the refugees from tribal conflicts in the settlements of the Elementaita area (specifically Oljorai) with medical work and a crusade for which we will provide the preaching and the music.

We also hope to meet up with AIM missionaries who work with the Maasai tribe near the Maasai Mara, and encourage them in their work.

We believe that God will work in us and through us on this trip, and afterwards in the life of Southway Church. If you would like to support us in prayer and/or financially, we'd be very grateful. The total cost of the trip is a little over $2500 per person. Though the trip doesn't leave until June 22, we have to buy tickets and make other preparations now, so we need your prayer and financial support now, as the Lord leads you. If you would like to be part of this mission through your financial support, send a check to:   [insert your address here].
     
Please make your check payable to Twin Lakes Church and write [insert team/country name here] on the memo line.  Please do not write my name anywhere on the check--the IRS has informed us that doing so will prevent your gift from being tax deductible.  Envelopes are enclosed for your convenience. 

Please pray that:

the missions involvement of the group will grow beyond their participation in the trip. 
all of the trip's financial needs (about $2000/person) will be met in a timely fashion. 
God would keep us safe. 
all of our passports and other documents could be processed in time. 
the group would work well together. 
we would encourage our missionaries, Nate and Kim Smith and others whom we contact. 
we would encourage the Ugandan church. 
God would prepare the hearts of those who will hear us in the crusade at Oljorai, and during the evangelistic meetings and contacts in Kijabe.

Thanks for your prayers and support!

Love,
