Travel Website to Fund Church’s Missions, Outreach Ministry
New travel affinity fundraising program extends the reach of fundraising efforts for churches and other non-profit organizations. Members and supporters are not required to dig deeper into their pockets for the organization to benefit.
(PRWEB) August 11, 2005 -- New travel affinity fundraising program extends
the reach of fundraising efforts for churches and other non-profit
organizations. Members and supporters are not required to dig deeper into their
pockets for the organization to benefit.
"Fulfilling our vision of being
a 'Reaching, Mending, Training and Sending' church requires us to think
outside-of-the-box when it comes to raising funds for our Outreach &
Evangelism Ministry," explained Arthur Comer, Administrator for the New Canaan
Baptist Church. "God continues to show us ways that He is able to open the
windows of heaven and pour out blessings."
New sources of revenues are
now available with the establishment of New Canaan's on-line travel website. Not
only our members, but also supporters nationwide now have an opportunity to help
us "reach out to our community, to our nation and to the world."
A
mission's team from New Canaan just recently returned from Liberia, Africa where
they were able to experience first-hand the great needs of that nation, and to
see how mission funds are helping to rebuild churches and the lives of people in
the Civil War-devastated communities. View pictures from this mission trip at http://www.newcanaanbaptistchurch.com/whatshappening.html.
Simply by booking their travel through our "private label" website,
members and supporters can actively contribute to our Outreach and Evangelism
Ministry, helping us to change lives.
What is so phenomenal about this
program is that we are not asking members or supporters to dig deeper into their
pockets to support our cause, and we are not asking anyone to pay more for their
travels. We are only asking that they make a simple shift in where they book
their personal and business travel.
Commissions are already included,
not added, in the rates that travel vendors charge; it is just a matter of whom
you want to pay them to, Expedia®, Travelocity®, Orbitz® or New Canaan. New
Canaan will receive 40% of the commissions, in the form of royalties, from
travel booked on its website.
“Our website has all the features of
highly advertised Expedia®, Travelocity® and Orbitz®, and many features that
they do not have, such as the ability to book golf tee times, send flowers and
apply for passports & visas,” said Comer.
It even has a Honeymoon
Bridal Registry where friends and relatives of the bridal couple can pay a
portion or the entire cost of travel or special activities that the couple would
like to do on their dream honeymoon (no more toasters or pans).
