Acts 28:31
Thank you for checking out my previous posts, if you're new welcome! Be sure to check out my previous posts about the City of Calgary, and click the "Who I Am" tab to get more info about me, my testimony and what the Lord is doing in my life specifically and why Calgary. My prayer is that as you read this post you will consider clicking the "Get in Touch" Tab and partner with me to spread the Gospel to this corner of the world. In the previous posts, I gave some specifics about Calgary's location, demographics, economy, and spiritual state. This post will be about my budget. Below is the budget that I have set for myself to raise. I would like to reach a monthly budget of $2000 US dollars a month of the span of three years. The costs of everything is divided up by expenses and income. The total income a month will be about $2,410 in US between support raising and working bi-vocationally. My plan is to apply for a student visa, which allows for me to work a job 20 hours a week during the school yer and 40 hours a week during the summer. I will attend the Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary to earn a Masters of Divinity with a concentration on Church Planting. To get a student visa, I would need present at the time of applying, the enough funds for a full year's tuition plus $10,000 to cover living expenses. Total cost for everything at the seminary would be about $10,500 (tuition, books, fees, housing, etc.). Total cost of living expenses (which include: food, gas, car maintenance and payment, clothes especially for winter, and cell phone bill) comes out to: $5,500. Last but not least I have included giving in as part of my budget also, which is 10% of the total I plan to raise. My total aim at maximum $30,000 allowing for the total funds needed to be cared for as well as a personal savings that give buffer for anything unexpected. All totals in the both spreadsheets are in US dollars. There is a current exchange rate of 1:1.33. Meaning every $1 US is worth $1.33 CA.
