Summer Budgets

We are almost done closing out the financial part of the summer. When we close out summers, I invariably cannot believe the amount of people that support our students and teams. It really is amazing, all the ones that give and pray and give, because they know these students and love to see them risking, moving and serving. Here are some rough summer budget metrics.

Year	$$	#	cost per person
2004	$8081	38	$212.66
2005	$27507	22	$1250.32
2006	$52345	69	$758.62
2007	$60562	81	$747.68
overall	$148495	210	$777.12

If anyone else has any costing per student for their summer mission budgets, I would love to see them. The other interesting dialog might be about whether we are getting our money's worth. Of course, I've got an opinion...
