Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

PART III, Line 28 Statement of Program Service AccomplishmentsProgram 1: Ministerial Activities Support Program:$ 105,587.The financial assistance we sent helped our L.I.F.E. churches, not only with their community outreaches but also with the care of Gods people and Gods House. When two of our ministry partners went to visit the thriving work in LIFE Tanauan, they wereprompted to help finish the building that was ruined by the eruption of Taal Volcano. Besides that huge project, the Lord provided resources to assist six pastors in Mindanao, two pastors in Luzon and to help with the general operations of the National Office to oversee 15 churches and 10 outreaches in various places in Mindanao. Work among the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) group expanded from Maitum- General Santos to Sarangani and Palimbang, Cotabato-Mindanao with worship services being held in homes.LIFE churches held their VBS or Kids Summer Bible Fest (KSBF) with 40 trained teachers and volunteer workers to serve more than 525 children in Mindanao, culminating with the Back to School program where children enjoyed lunches and received back packs with school supplies. In Luzon, in partnership with Operation Christmas Child, around 300 children from various Barangay received Shoebox gifts and were introduced to the Greatest Gift the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This opened the opportunity for churches to begin visiting the childrens homes and connecting with their families. The Greatest Journey discipleship program was launched a month after to encourage spiritual growth and equip the kids to share the gospel to their parents.Our latest mission outreach is in Brgy. Rizal, Bauan, Batangas which is slowly growing inattendance with 12 to 15 adults participating in the main service. Kids Church is equally thriving with an average of 14 to 15 children and 2 to 5 youth attending each week.
