HYG Summer Missions
Honduras 2008
Honduras is an opportunity unlike any other, which gives a chance for any high school student to travel outside the comfort of the United States and change the life of someone in need. Becoming a servant of God requires commitment and a mindset that puts others before yourself.
This summer the mission efforts of the Hillsboro Youth Group plan to travel to Tegucigalpa, Honduras for 7 days to meet a variety of challenges and need. We have a total of 25 team members for this year’s efforts. Please keep all the participants and our travels in your prayers as we strive to become servants for Christ.

Fundraising
We try our best to keep the costs as low as possible, and remember that 100% of the money raised goes toward the mission trip. This year we are setting a goal for each participating student to put $100 of their own money toward the cost of the trip. Realizing that amount is a large goal to set for any teenager, we believe through prayer and equal sacrifice, we can accomplish this goal.
We are encouraging every participant to put their efforts into multiple fundraising opportunities to complete the cost per person. We have planned numerous options to be able to raise the money needed for this mission. The most common way is by writing letters to family and friends in the quest to acquire donations for the mission work. Keep in mind that this mission is our opportunity to further God’s kingdom around the world.
Here are some sample fundraising letters you can download to your computer.
