Overview

Mission

Into the Jordan Ministries exists to create and sustain a community compelled by the love of Christ; to participate in the transition, transformation and healing among people that have experienced the trauma associated with the cycle of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

What it reported doing in 2025

Mental health counseling, outreach to women who have been trafficked for sex or have worked in the commercial sex industry. We provide hygiene products, clothing, bus passes, gas cards, and groceries, as well as employment skills training and life skill groups. Through outreach we build relationships by meeting women where they are. Through individual counseling/mentorship we provide opportunities to heal from the trauma common to trafficked and exploited women. Through wellness and life coaching we encourage women to implement healthy behaviors. Through biblical mentorship we offer a supportive and loving environment where lives are being transformed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
