The benefits of knowing what your budget will be allows you to plan, dream or cut programs accordingly. It allows us to establish relationships that you can trust for food and medical supplies. It gives us peace to know that the friends are there to support us and the dear people we minister to every month. Implementing a budget is important for all of us – for both saving, spending and for our non-taxable donations.  Have you ever thought of budgeting your donations to Missionhurst by becoming a monthly sponsor?   Being a monthly sponsor for Missionhurst not only helps you and your budget, it helps our missionaries too!
