- Finance:
- The Conference, along with ASI, will provide an initial seed fund of about $10,000 to $20,000 to assist with operations pertaining to an office worker, utilities and travels to Family Islands. This will be augmented by dues from each member of a suggested amount of $5 per month or $60 per annum. Contributions are not limited to this amount. It must be noted that this is a full voluntary-service, oriented organization. All persons with the exception of a director/supervisor will be expected to work gratis. Travel and local accommodation (inclusive of meals) will be taken care of when traveling outside New Providence.
As there is an immediate need of funds as Ephesus is now under construction. Stevens, Long Island, is expecting the arrival of its building supplies by next week. It is here proposed that we reactivate the Adventure In Faith offering. Thus, we appeal to each member to pledge an amount whether weekly, bi-weekly or monthly towards this plan. Funds will be used strictly for this plan. This amount pledged is to be separate and apart from what one is giving. An offering of faith is solicited. Finally, thanks for the generous offering give during Convention. Nearly four thousand dollars was given. This amount, as promised, was divided and shared equally with Bahamas Academy and Stevens Long Island. Thanks to each member and to the Hillview Church for accommodating two of the services at no charge. Do your part as together we shall accomplish all of these goals. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF WE UNITE OUR EFFORTS AND RESOURCES!
