FOR YOUR CHURCH
fOR YOUR CHURCH:
-
As a participant, many times your local church body is interested in coming alongside of you in some way. Many times that looks like:
- Allowing you some time to share during service or in a small group
- Getting the word out to others & promoting your tour(s) or getting the word out that you are raising funds for global youth. Some examples are:
- Projector announcement loops
- Hanging a tour flier in common areas
- Church Bulletin Inserts
- Putting material about the tour on their website
- Using Church Social Pages
- Giving financially to your pledge
- Etc.
-
If your local church body is wanting to help, here are some easy resources for them to use. As a participant, you may also want to provide some tour specific information that can be found on the tours INFO page (EndsCycling.com/tours).
-
What country youth are being impacted
-
How our partners in that country are impacting youth in Jesus Name
-
Etc.

-
