Overview

Mission

Our aim is to set the captives free spiritually and psychologically from darkness to light through faith-based counsel inside the jail and prison walls. Once an inmate is convinced of self that change is necessary, we aim to help that person reenter society, no longer as a burden, but as a blessing to be better husbands, fathers, wives, and mothers. Continued spiritual counsel outside the prison walls is available to help find peace and strength for the day along with jobs, housing, with motivation to stay sober and strong.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
