Overview

Mission

The organization was established to a) facilitate relational restoration for the development of healthy families and responsible individuals, b) provide appropriate educational programs to the public for benefit to the community, c) advance the principles of Christianity, and d) promote cooperative efforts that support for the well-being of the community. In pursuit of these purposes, the organization provides a range of counseling and treatment services, as well as preventive education, with an emphasis on preserving marriages and strengthening healthy relationships.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization has delivered counseling services and healing programs to families, missionaries, and ministers experiencing relational conflict and crisis situations, based on referrals from the immigrant community and local churches .

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 61% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
