Cost: $0

Yes, that's right, we don't require you to pay a dime to be part of this amazing event!

Instead, we invite you to make a donation towards costs as we take up an offering at the event (eg: about $150 would cover it, but the exact amount is up to you. Go pray about it!).

Host:

Presbyterian-Reformed Ministries International.

PRMI is a non-profit organization and all of the Upward Challenge leadership are volunteers.

After expenses, whatever is in excess will be used to thank the leadership volunteers and lay a financial foundation for future Upward Challenge events.
