Overview

Mission

Providing spiritual ministry to those incarcerated, assisting male and female ex-offenders and addicts with housing and getting a new start.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided ministerial support and religious items to 1,000+ incarcerated men and women in the county jail. Payment of certain transitional housing expenses and providing support services for 30+ individuals who were homeless due, primarily, to incarceration. This included utilities, food, educational needs, biblical knowledge, transportation, substance abuse meetings and lay counseling via volunteers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
