Back in 2014, the church I was serving at had to cut one of our short-term mission budgets to the Natives we had been committed for many years.  The budget cut was rather sudden so the majority of high school and college students who comprised the bulk of the group were not quite ready with the doubling of the mission registration cost.  I was getting rather worried and began to wonder if people will be able to afford to join the team and serve as we had done before.
