Boilerplate Press Releases

These are press releases for use in communicating your trip to your hometown newspaper(s). We have taken the time to craft something for you that correctly represents Christ's Hope and requires the least amount of input from the team to complete. Naturally, if your inner English Major or PR professional would like to write the whole thing, that's fine -- follow the format and please leave in the Christ's Hope specific passages. Be sure to include a team and ministry pictures!

Once you are back, plug in the information, and then contact your local newspaper. There are two ways to do this -- you can submit a press release (usually each paper will have an online presence; check the "Contact Us" section) or call your local news tip hotline (also usually listed in the "Contact Us" section of the website or in section one of your local paper, either on page 2 or on the editorial page).

This is a great way for you to get some publicity for your church, and for the needs in Africa as embodied by Christ's Hope and other aid organizations. If you have questions about the process, use the 'contact us' portion of the Christ's Hope USA website or give us a call at 877-544-0914
