Overview

Mission

Through incarcerations and addiction, deliverance and freedom, and now giving back to others who are in the same situation they once were, god has continuously proven his love for them and reminded them of it by placing the number 143 in sight as a constant reminder of his love.

What it reported doing in 2025

Breaking new ground (bng) is our outreach ministry in port richey, Florida, the hometown of our outreach pastor, ito robles. We have made connections with several churches and the recovery community in port richey that desire to reach those suffering from addiction. These facilities have welcomed us and are partnering with us as we assist them in implementing our approach. In 2021, 143 began sending a team to port richey monthly for the purpose of teaching the curriculum used in our recovery programs. Since then, we began seeing people hunger for change and desire to get free from addiction. We began having people seeking inpatient treatment come to augusta to receive treatment in one of our programs. As an additional resource for port richey, bng offers a weekly 12-step recovery meeting, the living room, providing proven solutions for those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction as well as tools for friends and family members of those impacted by addiction

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
