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.

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 (1)
  1. $168,482 spent. The Discipleship program assisted 12 young men during 2024. These gentlemen were brought into the program to help them to learn and grow spiritually so that they can become good sons, husbands, and fathers. The process is challenging for both the young men and the mentors/instructors because there are years of bad habits and thinking that need to be transformed by the Word of God, and this is never an easy task. However, we graduated all 12 of the young men, helped them learn a trade and gain employment, and connected them with churches in the areas where they reside. We do follow-ups monthly, to make sure that they are all doing well and working their new life properly.
