Overview

Mission

Post-abortive and family crisis counseling via small groups, email, and publications; focus is to bring healing and forgiveness in a supportive, Christ-centered environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Training program to graduate Healing Hearts Certified Counselors to carry on the purpose of the organization and grow the ministry in new regions. (Expenses include national conference training, other training meetings, and the cost of printing leader guides.) In the 2024-2025 fiscal year, we supported 165 Healing Hearts Certified Counselors across 28 U.S. States and 10 Countries through 101 Affiliated Churches while our training program graduated 24 new Healing Hearts Certified Counselors. Our 2024 National Conference provided in-person advanced training and support to 93 attendees.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
