Helping with Costs
Christian Service Brigade | Canada understands that these costs can be a challenge for some. We’d like you to understand that many of the costs can be passed on to participants, including the boys. Some units encourage the boys to bring “shares” weekly to help pay for supplies, outings, etc. The families can be expected to pay for achievement books and individual outing costs as much as possible. Some even conduct projects or fund-raising activities to help earn the money needed to support their unit.
A church partnered with Brigade may be able to help fund the Brigade ministry in full or in part through the education, outreach or Ministry to Men budget. Also, consider approaching the deacon or outreach teams from your church for financial assistance for ministry to families experiencing financial struggles within the congregation or unchurched, low-income families from your community.
And let’s not forget the power of prayer. Our Lord, the Great Provider, can help you find the resources necessary to help disciple the young boys in your unit.
