This resource is provided for teams partnering with Praying Pelican for their mission trip, but the general guidelines can be adapted to suit most any international mission trip.
Praying Pelican Missions’ desire is to not only build relationships with the local church but also to take part in the improvement of the local economy. Therefore, our heart is to avoid flooding the local market with items that could be purchased in-country. Below are examples of things that you could consider giving. Many of these items can be bought in-country before your group arrives. Please be in contact with your trip consultant as you specify what you would like to donate. If the items can be purchased from local vendors, your consultant will help you figure out how much money to send down beforehand to purchase these donations. Items in bold are of high need.
Here is a list of items that should be purchased in-country (meaning you send in the money through your GL account and we have these ready for your team when you arrive):
Items That Can Be Purchased In Country
Kit Ideas
These items would be purchased before your team arrives (you send the money through your PPM account) and then put together as an afternoon ministry activity while on your trip.
Items that can be brought from North America:
“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
All donations will be routed through the local pastor or ministry leader. Here’s to having a great mission trip and honoring Christ with our giving.
