Financial Planning for Mission Trips, Sharell Shippen – Video and Discussion Outline
Rev. Sharell Shippen on the importance of financial planning and the role youth can play in fundraising.
Questions for Discussion:
What is the scope of our financial capabilities? How far away can we afford to go?
What kind of missional experience are we looking for?
Do we have a financial cushion for our trip?
How might our youth be engaged in the ministry of stewardship, and in the allocation of funds for the trip? And what life skills does this allow the youths to learn?
How does this experience of being involved in the finances help youth have a broader perspective?
