Overview

Mission

To conduct the work of evangelism/missionary activities and provide practical support to the state of New Jersey and surrounding areas. Also to engage in activities which are necessary, suitable or convenient for the accomplishment of that purpose, or which are incidental thereto or connected therewith which are consistant with section 501(c)(3) of internal revenue code. By way of sound teaching, we will strenghten families, empower singles and equip married couples to live according to god's covenant.

Through god's grace, we will identify, develop and nurture others with the word of god through mentoring programs. With his wisdom we will establish ministries designed to empower people of all nationalities with the mind of christ through public outreach in schools and throughout general society in New Jersey and the surrounding geographic areas. In 2020 we visited schools 11 plus times to educate the childern on the dangers and signs of child abductors, we conducted 26 outdoor awareness presentations to educate the children/community on the dangers and signs of child abductors, and helped 656 plus women and children in abusive circumstances with emergency shelter, food, clothing and other daily necessary items.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 93% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
