Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (2)
  1. AROUND 80% OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES BURN OUT AND QUIT BEFORE FINISHING WHAT THEY FELT CALLED TO DO. ALMOST 50% OF MINISTRY WORKERS SUFFER, OR HAVE SUFFERED, FROM DEPRESSION AND END UP DROPPING OUT OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE ALL TOGETHER. OUR MISSION IS TO FIGHT THIS BURNOUT AND FATIGUE BY PROVIDING FREE GET AWAYS FOR MISSIONARIES ACROSS THE WORLD AND BY GROWING THE LARGEST NETWORK OF CHRISTIAN OWNED LODGING, SO THAT ALL MINISTRY WORKERS CAN FIND A PLACE TO REST, AT A PRICE WITHIN THEIR MEANS. OUR HOPE IS TO PROVIDE RESTORATION FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS; PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY, SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE SERVING AND DOING GOD'S GOOD WORK.
