The cost is $525 which includes accommodations, meals, in-city travel, but does not  include transportation to St. Augustine.  All monies for the trip are the participant’s responsibility.  If accepted for the mission team, the participant will receive a packet with materials instructing them how they can raise the funds needed for the trip.  With the Grace of God, the fund raising is not as difficult as it may seem.
