Guidelines for Granting Mission Trip Financial Support*
The Missionary Department of PCSEBA- “Power in Truth” welcomes and will consider every request. Assistance may be limited due to availability of funds. Power in Truth assistance is designed to help individuals and teams meet some of their needs and goals (be in financial or not).
