100 Ways to Raise $100 for Missions
If your Sabbath School is looking for a mission experience that’s personally rewarding, spiritually rejuvenating, and socially fun, you have a lot of options! You can rally behind the weekly mission offering to support missionaries worldwide; adopt a Global Mission project to start new congregations around the globe; take up the Thirteenth Sabbath Offering challenge to provide divisions with urgently needed resources; or choose an activity as your Sabbath School Investment project.
Whether your mission goals are for a group fundraiser or an individual Investment project, here are 100 creative ideas to help you reach them. Ideas are organized by theme. Focus on activities you may already be doing and skills you may already have, so you can make a difference in someone’s life without having to put a lot of thought into how to get started.
