The role of a church rep is to act as a point of contact for Mercy Ships in your church to help us raise much needed funds, awareness, and prayerful support for our work. This might include:
- Placing articles about Mercy Ships in your church newsletter,
distributing leaflets and up-to-date information, displaying posters
and so on
- Arranging for a Mercy Ships speaker to give a talk after a service
and taking a collection in support of our work.
- Organising a special service in support of one of our projects
at Easter or Christmas
- Organising a fundraising event after a service or one evening
during the week. You could show a Mercy Ships DVD, or arrange
one of our speakers to give a talk
- Organising a group of people join a Mercy Team – a 10-day
mission trip to work alongside ships and land-based programmes
on specific field projects
- Setting up a Fundraising Support Group in your Church to pray,
fundraise and raise awareness for Mercy Ships. You could encourage
your bible study group to help you, or ask your church leader
to identify people who would be interested in helping.
- Setting up a prayer group to pray for our work once a week or
monthly using materials provided by Mercy Ships.
- Co-ordinating the distribution of Mercy Ships collection boxes
to other church members and the banking and receipting of all
monies raised from them.
