Last year was our biggest year yet, now, in February of 2022, we have more trips scheduled than we did last year and we need properties to make this happen.
We have 27 trips planned but we don't currently have locations for them all. Our partner house in Cabo San Lucas was sold and we maxed out our time in Colorado, Gilmer TX, and Austin. We still have a few weeks remaining at our partner location in South Carolina but we now need more properties ASAP.
Our plan is to secure a place in Cabo and purchase a Texas property to add 12-15 trips a year beginning now.
Below is our four-phased plan.
PHASE 1 - $85,120 (est), June 2022 (approximately 40 Pastors each year)
We lost a partner property in Cabo San Lucas so we need a new place. We need to purchase three weeks a year at Fiesta Americana. This one-time cost of $108,000 (along with our current partner condos) in Cabo will allow us four or five trips to this destination each year.
PHASE 2 - $1,300,000 (est), Dec 2022 (approximately 125-250 additional Pastors per year)
We need a property in North Texas to do one or two trips per month as well as weekend networking events, donor development events, and vacations for Pastors who cannot afford one. A 5/6 bedroom house on a Texas lake is around $1,500,000 and the budget includes an additional $200,000 for refurbishing, furniture, and HOA fees for one year.
PHASE 3 - $170,000 (est), June 2023 (approximately 20-40 additional Pastors each year)
Upgrade Fiesta Americana membership: increase points allocation to meet the threshold for unlimited amenities onsite. A one-time purchase of $62,000 to upgrade current points, and purchase 18,000 additional points for $108,000
PHASE 4 - TBD
California beachfront property
Florida property on the beach or river
East Texas Ranch
