Currently, we operate on a budget of       $10,300/ month.  We are always in need of new pledge supporters, since pledge support from individuals and churches fluctuates from month to month, and over the four year term.

Our monthly budget is carefully figured by the Assemblies of God World Missions finance department, and takes into account all our expenses.  A missionary’s budget could be equated to the operating budget for a church. This includes expenses such as printing, travel and lodging, crusade expenses, cost of building and maintaining buildings, etc, as well as our personal allowance.  In addition, the cost of living index in Togo is very high.  Here is an example of what it actually costs to live and do ministry here:

Gas at $5.00/gallon or more.......................................................$500/mo

Electricity..................................................................$800- $1,000.00/mo

Work-related travel......................................................................$400/mo

Children’s Schooling.................................................................$1700/mo
