Overview

Mission

The purpose is to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to encourage and set free the addicted and the afflicted, to give hope and purpose to reveal worth to those who feel worthless turning nothing into somethin

What it reported doing in 2024

The ministry program into churches, recovery centers, prisons or jails and various places for men, worship and recovery events saw 3400 individuals saved who gave their life to Christ. This consisted of traveling to various places or venues using music, teaching, speaking, deer trailers and other methods to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Also, approximately 127 people were routed to Christ rehabilitation centers from drugs and/or alcohol addiction. We also continue to provide the Courage for My Life Cirriculum to recovery centers or churches or prisons.

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 94% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
