Support Us from Home
The trip would not be possible with the support and assistance of our communities here in the U.S. working to ensure we are supplied and prepared for the trip.
Projects
Tote Bag Decorating
Each year the Home Team hand-decorates a canvas tote bag for every child and teacher that attends one of our Friendship Camps or Camp New Hope. We need up to 1,200 each year. If you would like to decorate some tote bags, please contact us and download the instructions.
Sewing Project
Each year we make hand-made sewn gifts as soft, tangible reminders to show the children they are beloved. We need to make up to 1,200 of these items. Please contact us if you want to sew or have any questions.
Prayer
We appreciate support in the form of prayer. Please pray for:
- Peace and reconciliation for the people and communities of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Balkans, and the whole world
- Members of the Travel Team and fellow members of the Home Team
- Our coordinators and interpreters in Bosnia-Herzegovina
- The Children and Teachers who will attend our camps this summer
Financial Support
General Support
You can give to the Bosnia IST online or by mail. We greatly appreciate donations of any size to support our ministry.
Sponsor a Camp
Each summer we will host Friendship Camps throughout Bosnia. These camps are for children ages 10-13 (and anyone else who shows up!), and will work to bring Healing, Hope & Peace into their lives and their communities. Each camp has anywhere from 60-350+ students, with 10-20 teachers present. Each Camp needs financial sponsorship of $2,600. Half sponsorships are also available
Sports Equipment Donations
Each year we take sports equipment for the schools and youth programs who participate in our camps to use year round. A full set for each camp consists of:
- 3 basketballs
- 3 volleyballs
- 3 soccer balls
- 3 jump ropes
- 3 beach balls
- 2 basketball nets
- 3 ball pumps and needles
Even if you can only donate a few items, that’d be great, we’ll take it!This is a great project for a Sunday School, Youth Group or Scout troop. If you’re interested in donating some or all of these items, get more details and contact us.
