Uganda Budget

Klint Ostermann • Jul 13, 2013

We will be going as independent missionaries and it costs quite a bit to support a family of 5 halfway across the globe.  I have been working with missionaries already in Uganda to get an idea of what kind of budget we will need to survive there and have come up with a budget of roughly $4,823 per month.  Here is a summary of our budget:

Housing (rent, help, utilities, maintenance 1330
Cell Phone/Internet 95
Food/supplies 400
Return trips to US 400
Insurance (medical, life, co-pays) 300
Auto expenses 196
Savings (long term, short term, shortfalls 300
Misc (computer, clothing, education, etc) 180
Subtotal 3201
Tithe 320
Agency 579
Taxes 723
Total 4823

With a budget like that, it will take many supporters to be a part of our team to make this mission successful. By giving, you get an opportunity to participate in our ministry in Uganda.  Paul said in Philippians 4:17, “Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account”.  If you need additional Biblical evidence for financial support of missions, check out 2 Corinthians 8-9.  All donations will go through Heart for Uganda, a 501 (c)(3) organization, which means that donations will be tax exempt and they will provide financial accountability for the donations.  If you want to know more about the trip, please give me a call at 940-867-4678 and I would love to share what the Holy Spirit has been doing in our lives.

Our farm training program has taken on new importance due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because so many people in Uganda have lost their jobs or businesses due to restrictions that have been put in place in Uganda.
