Dear [Prospective Donor’s Name],
I have an exciting opportunity to be part of a medical team working with Kenyan doctors and nurses. We leave for Kenya on [insert date] and return [insert date, year]. Our Team, led by Agape Project International USA staff, ministers to a group of 60+ pastors from different denominations and provides humanitarian services to the general population of Kenya. We will be providing free medical treatment for up to 1200 people in areas where there is limited access to healthcare. In addition, we minister to children and adults with the desire to plant a new church or enhance the membership of an existing one.
[Add a couple of sentences of your expected involvement and why you want to go. Remember, this is not a vacation in Africa but a joyous opportunity to serve the Lord and His people who are poor and disadvantaged.]
We fly from the USA to Nairobi and visit El Shaddai Children’s Centre (boy’s orphanage) in Limuru where we spend the night at API USA’s new home base. We then drive to the town of [see itinerary] that will serve as our medical camp home base. We will spend 1 ½ days preparing the medications used to treat our patients. We will leave our base each day to travel to one of two remote locations to treat patients. We usually have the opportunity of spending a day at a Kenyan National Game Park to view and photograph wild animals in one of the best game parks in all of Africa. If possible, we will also visit an elephant rehabilitation center in Nairobi.
I am writing to ask a couple of things from you. First, would you commit to praying for me and our Team? God works in amazing ways when His people pray. Second, would you consider investing in the ministry to help send me? The total cost for this trip is approximately [see itinerary]. All donations are tax-deductible. Agape Project International USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.

The Lord is awesome the way He works things out. This is something I cannot do in my own strength; it will take an amazing move from the Lord to make it all come together. I actually prefer it this way. The Lord will get all the glory! Thank you so much for joining with me in prayer and support.
Blessings to you and Praises to our Lord,
