Example: Financial Support Request Letters
Why would anyone want to support me in taking online courses at Sunset International Bible Institute?
Many times, a student feels that asking for money from a church or an individual is embarrassing, inconvenient, or even rude. First and foremost, you must realize that when you ask for financial support, you do so with the right heart and purpose. In fact, your purpose alone in fulfilling the great commission brings others along to join you in that command. We are all responsible for what Jesus instructed in Matthew 28:18-20; however, how we fulfill it varies from person to person. When an individual is allowed to provide you with the training to go into all the world to save souls, that person is partnering with you to fulfill the great commission and grow the kingdom of God.
Here are some benefits for your local congregation when taking courses at Sunset International Bible Institute:
- Your ability to teach and preach God's word with a more in-depth and contextual understanding to strengthen your local congregation.
- Improve your own Bible knowledge and participate at a deeper level in Bible classes
- Offer the congregation more class options alongside the current minister's classes, based upon what you are learning in your online studies; whether men teaching additional adult classes or women teaching ladies' classes.
