Financial Commitments and Fundraising
Trip deposits are due by December 1, 2010. They are your good faith pledge to participate in the trip and will be used to secure your airline ticket.
During the fall of 2010, you will be given all you need to write fundraising letters to raise the additional money for your trip. Each participant is expected to either participate in writing fundraising letters for the remaining cost of his/her trip or to pay out-of-pocket for the remaining balance of the trip cost. Students of every economic level can participate in these trips if they are faithful to their role in the letter writing.
We are also planning some fundraisers and sponsorship opportunities for area church members.
There is a limited amount of financial aid available: 1) from ECU PCM and 2) by application to the Missions Subcommittee of the New Hope Presbytery Campus Ministry Committee. Contact Rev. Hefner for more information.
