I need to raise approximately <strong>$3,000 by February 13, 2008<\/strong> in order to participate in the mission trip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deposit Schedule:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 $500 due on 11\/13\/2007 (refundable until 12\/13\/07)<br \/>\n\u2022 An additional $1,000 due on 12\/13\/2007 (non-refundable)<br \/>\n\u2022 Remaining balance of $1,500 due on 2\/13\/2008<\/p>\n<p>If you can support me financially, I would be very grateful. But, more importantly, I covet your prayers. I wasn\u2019t sure how I was going to cover the cost of last year\u2019s trip, but through much faith and prayer, God provided.
