I am going on a short term mission trip to Urugay, that will cost me about $1,500. I need to write letters to my friends and family, and would love to include a Bible verse about giving. Does anybody know any really good ones?

How about Romans 10:14-15?
"How can they call on him unless they believe in him? How can they believe in him unless they hear about him? How can they hear about him unless someone preaches to them? And how can anyone preach without being sent? It is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”"
Paul here quotes Isaiah 52:7. This seems appropriate for a mission fund raising letter.
