Note: This breakdown does not include all expected costs, this is just an anticipated average for the basics for me alone; and does not cover ministry costs or expansion. There is also a housing shortage in Amsterdam creating high cost and high demand. Securing a rental will take time, and temporary lodgings are just part of living a missionary life. It is my goal to secure permanent lodging within six months, but that all depends on funding, availability, and God’s will. Flexibility and going with the flow are musts in this line of work, and permanence may or may not be in His plan for me.
