Mission money will be collected monthly. Any amount is appreciated, obviously the more generous you can be the better for the missions. It was established to have students make a sacrifice from their own money for the missions. Maybe use their ice cream/ candy money once a month for someone in need. It could be a great lesson. Thanks for your support.
