Mission Training School Application

Your Missionary Support

Each Mission Training School student is required to pay staff fees of US$450.00 monthly, which covers housing, meals, utilities, and transportation while in Oaxaca. Personal expenses (toiletries, non-ministry transportation, entertainment, etc.) are not included.

Are you able to cover this amount for the period of time that you plan to work with us?

If not, how do you plan to raise the necessary funds?

Do you have any debt at this time (school, credit cards, mortgage)?

What is the debt for and what is the amount?

Prayer Support

Upon entering the mission field, you will be fully immersed in spiritual warfare. It is essential that you have people who are covering you in prayer. We suggest that you have a minimum of 20 prayer partners who have committed themselves to intercede and pray for you, for your ministry, and for the people to whom God sends you. Start now to form your team of prayer partners. Make a list of their names and addresses, so that you can keep them informed of your work while in Oaxaca.
