1. JANUARY-JULY: We assemble the team, decide on roles, and raise support.

More Details About This Stage

January-July: the MLT and Staff begin discussions on whether or not Redeemer will be sending a team to serve in Hungary, and if so how many? A meeting is planned for anyone who would like to consider serving at WOL. Shortly thereafter another meeting is planned for those who are committed to going and the team is formed. Fundraising begins traditionally with a church garage sale which funds most, but not all, the money needed. Some years, we hold a fund-raising Hungary Dinner. Also, personal support letters are sent out by the team to friends and family outside the church. Lastly the church is asked to provide the funds that will help close the gap so that the Hungary trip is fully funded.

2. LAST TWO WEEKS OF JULY: We pack our supplies and personal gear.

More Details About This Stage

In the last couple of weeks we gather supplies and pack up baseballs and gloves, notebooks and pens, American candy, and in the past donated Dallas Cowboys t- shirts and caps from the Dallas Cowboys.

3. THE TRIP! This year we will be leaving DFW Airport August 2, and returning August 11.

Please join us the entire way, by praying and helping us raise funds. The following graphic represents our fund-raising progress:

Hungary Missions Dinner & Silent Auction

The 2019 Hungary Missions team is hosting a dinner on Friday, July 19 to support the missions trip to Word of Life Hungary.  It will be a fun time for the whole family, featuring jazz music performed by some of our very own talented musicians, Hungarian food, and a silent auction.  Tickets will be available for purchase before and after the worship service on the following Sundays – 6/30, 7/7, & 7/14. Please note space is limited and we expect it to be a sellout. Tickets are $5/person or $15/family (the ticket cost is to pay for the food for the dinner). The silent auction will open at 5:30 pm and close at 8:15 pm. Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm.  Come join in the fun and support the WOL Hungary mission team!

  • Vacation time shares;
  • Services (e.g., lawn care, babysitting, cleaning, car repair, etc);
  • New or unused home decor, and jewelry.

    • Culinary skills? (e.g., you could offer to cook a special dinner for 8);
    • Creative with party ideas? (e.g., you could design and put together all the makings for a children’s birthday party).

All proceeds from the Silent Auction will go towards the WOL Hungary mission trip and missions at RBC.  We appreciate your generosity in making this a success!

The Garage Sales

We initially recommended that members of the congregation hold garage sales at their own homes. While we still welcome any contributions that come through personal garage sales (and other means) now we invite the congregation to bring sale items to the church where we will be having one more garage sale on Friday May 31. Sign up below and indicate if you need to be contacted about some sale item (for example, when and where to bring your donations, or if you need help getting it to the church).
