The website Ask a Missionary is full of excellent resources.
They have an interesting question and answer section on support raising that has some good articles. Some of the topics addressed are:
-
- What perspective should I take towards support-raising?
- How do I raise prayer and financial support?
- Is there any way other than begging for support?
- Can I go overseas before I have all my funds raised?
- How can I minimize debt while in school?
- How do I handle my debts and still go into missions?
- In what different ways do missionaries plan for retirement?
- How much money should a missionary raise and how long does that take?
- Can teams going overseas together raise support collectively with each family drawing from the main pot?
