Youth Ministry Questions
The Source for Youth Ministry's most recent featured answer: QUESTION: I’m looking for fund raising ideas that have a "purpose," not simply candy sales, t-shirt sales, etcetera. Any ideas I can check out? Thanks! And thanks for your ministry. David, Little Falls, MN ANSWER: Dear David, Thanks for your kind words and for contacting The Source about purposeful fundraising. I'll give you a couple of specific ideas in a moment, because I totally hear where you're coming from. But I'll say this upfront: I think meaning in any fundraiser can come from the ultimate purpose for it, not the activity. I like your heart-attitude in wanting purpose in your fundraisers, but don't completely throw out those mundane activities. When there's a significant purpose kids can get behind, and when you, as I heard one speaker say, "preach your announcements" with passion and conviction, they'll do whatever fundraiser with enthusiasm. Which leads me to my first suggestion: Give your kids two or three choices of purposes (e.g. homeless shelter, Salvation Army, a missionary your church supports, etc.) and ask them which they'd be most interested in, and what they're willing to do to raise money for.
