After a cost review of our men’s and women’s walks post covid, the FaithWalk Jackson Secretariat is implementing a fee increase for servants and believers. The new team and believer fee will be $220 effective with the Spring 2023 Walks. This increase is primarily in response to rising costs of food, supplies and materials. With the exception of Agape, this new fee will cover the entire cost of serving. The budget allowances for each area on a walk (snack, dining, chapel, etc.) will be adjusted accordingly so that no team member will be expected to spend their own money for supplies for their area. This increase will also allow us to build reserve for future community expenses related to A/V equipment, trailer repair & maintenance, insurance and other contingencies.
We know this increase could possibly cause a financial imposition on some in our community, especially for those sponsoring a believer as well as serving on a walk. By making the new fee all-inclusive, we hope it will soften the impact.
On a more positive note, we would like to announce that the Spring 2023 Walks will be at Lakeshore again and the dates are April 13-16 for the men and April 20-23 for the women. Signups for both Walks will open tomorrow.
