You will learn how to raise support and, more importantly, to depend on God to meet your needs. Contributions from family and friends for your service in the Corps are tax-deductible. The initial deposit will depend on your entry date, since overseas airfares need to be paid soon after the January start date. Do not rule yourself out because of costs until you pray about learning to raise support. Building a ministry support team now will serve you well in years to come, whether you join a mission agency or help send others.
Training is provided in support-raising.
In some cases a one-year commitment to the Corps is possible. All costs are subject to change. Some schools offer reduced tuition for spouses, and books can be shared by couples. This is the subsidized price in return for your service.
