What it says it does

OUR MISSION IS TO CONTINUE THE KINDNESS THAT JESUS DISPLAYED. WE MODEL THIS BY SUPPORTING SEVERAL PROGRAMS INTENDED TO ELEVATE PEOPLE'S WELL-BEING SPIRITUALLY AND FINANCIALLY. WE OVERSEE A SINGLE MOMS' PROGRAM, FUND A SCHOLARSHIP THAT IS AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS ENROLLED IN RADIOGRAPHY AND PHYSICAL THERAPY ASSISTANT PROGRAMS, PARTNER WITH MEDICAL MISSION PROGRAMS, AND HELP OTHERS IN NEED THAT COINCIDE WITH OUR MISSION. THROUGH THESE ENDEAVORS, WE HOPE TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE WORLD AROUND US AND BRING HONOR TO JESUS IN KEEPING WITH OUR MISSION.

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.
