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 (3)
  1. $1.5 million spent. Church: The mission church is a house of worship at its core and places a high value on teaching its children, growing relationships and being a blessing and influence on the community. The mission lives and breathes to rescue the orphan, love the broken and bring healing and hope to those who are lost. We are dedicated to teaching that every person on this earth has a Father who loves and is waiting for them. Realization of this leads to discovery of true identity. Through this, families, cities and nations will be transformed and the notion of Kingdom will be made whole. We are steadfast in our fight to restore true family, which has always been the promise of Kingdom.
  2. $695,187 spent. Education and Family care: The mission offers schooling through our Elementary, Jr. High and High School. These schools provide more than just a solid education. In our schools, we nuture a culture of individuality, dreaming and love... a Kingdom Culture. Since 1995 we have been transporting the children from their homes, providing two meals a day and a solid education. Our desire is to introduce each of these children to the Father's love and nurture their identities as children of God.
  3. $125,029 spent. Orphan Care: We are currently averaging 60 children in our six full-time children's homes and transition homes for young adults. The children in our care have been abandoned by a parent/guardian or taken from extremely abusive situations by DIF, a child protection government agency in Mexico. The government or parent does not provide financial support. The mission cares for 100% of their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. After a child turns 18, they have the option to live in one of our on-site transition homes.
