Suggestions for use:
-
Make a thermometer chart with a drawing of the goal at the top and color in the amount that is given each week until you reach the top.
-
Show a video, available free of charge from Christian Reformed World Missions, which is related to the project for which you are raising money.
-
If you are raising money for a set of things, make a picture chart, with a stick person for every 10 people you are helping, a row of chairs representing each chair you are helping to purchase, or a stack of books for each Bible you buy.
For Sunday Schools or Children’s Groups:
-
Find someone in your congregation who has knowledge of your project. If you choose a medical work project, ask a nurse or doctor in your congregation to explain to the Sunday School why other countries need medical help. If you raise money for a motorcycle or a two-way radio, see if someone in your church owns one and could demonstrate.
