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)
- $5,384 spent. Missions: Work of service to advance our primary organizational purpose - both in direct operations, and indirect alliances; both domestically, and internationally.
- $1,201 spent. Presence Tent: A gathering place to experience God's love, mercy, and truth; to grow in identity, relationship, and purpose; to reveal the kingdom, power, and glory of God.
- Paused Programs: (1) Sons of God is a guided men's fellowship which gathers every 4-6 weeks to develop vital and life-empowering intimacy with the Father, filial relationship within the body of Christ, and zeal for the house of God; through worship, fellowship, prayer, communion, exhortation, and the word of God (2) Unshakable Kingdom is a men's and women's gathering which occurs every 4-6 weeks to build a transformational revelation of the unwavering heart of God, on the foundation of Jesus Christ; to put substance to a truly Christ-centered identity - in the midst of a world that is being shaken by uncertainty, conflict, and fear - to usher in the surpassing peace of God. (3) First Love is a program for one-on-one discipleship with the goal of transformative spiritual growth (note that this program was combined with "Sons of God" in the 990 for 2019, but we decided to separate out the two programs for reporting in 2020 and thereafter).
