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 (4)
  1. $117,376 spent. Training Leaders-Many pastors in many of our countries come from the pool of at-risk people that we help. This means many of them have never had an opportunity for theological or practical leadership training. We try to train indigenous leaders in biblical knowledge, practical skills, organizational skills, pastoral care skills, preaching skills, and community transformation strategies. We have deloped a diploma program where leaders and pastors can study in a program and earn a diploma which increases their credibility among the people.
  2. $92,515 spent. Churches - We help pastors in the processes of starting new churches. We help with strategy and encouragement. We meet with the congregants for training and help organize the leadership teams of the churches. Sometimes we help people with documents and organizing documents. If the church decides to organize officially, we even ordain pastors. If the church decides to build a building or secure a new meeting place, we will help with the details of these activities. Sometimes we bring in construction teams, or may help raise funds for the project. We try to have a philosophy of autonomous churches with a process that is reproducible without foreign funding, while the leaders are indigenous.
  3. $58,466 spent. Schools - People at risk are victims of a lack of education. Lack of education causes people to be at-risk. It is a root cause, and the result of the root cause. It is a chicken and egg issue, but is present in many of the places we serve. Even in low-income areas of the USA where we serve refugees this is a problem even in domestic venues of service. Internationally we have several schools. Myanmar, Cambodia and Thailand are the showcase projects. We have students who, because of poor government schools or they are not allowed to go to government schools because of their at-risk status, now receive part or all of their education in our schools. These schools require us to deploy staff who are self funded. However, we have to maintain some facilities, curriculum, equipment and materials to teach. Computers are a big part of the expenses, but we have raised donations to get those in most cases.
  4. Other program services are as follows: 1)Sports ministry in Ang Dang Trang Village in Cambodia. Total expenses were 32,014 including grants of 31,131, 2) Children's Homes in Myanmar. Total expenses were 26,555 including grants of 18,605 and 3) Domestic Ministry of 25,992.
