Overview

Mission

Jericho ministries is a multifaceted christian ministry which started as an outreach to women trapped in prostitution. It has grown to include three ministry sites: a children's home in the country, an urban school and women's workshop, and a boy's home in the city of tegucigalpa. Our vision is to equip women and children to glorify god and serve him by breaking the chains of prostitution, sexual abuse, and addictions that have plagued their families for generations.

What it reported doing in 2024

House and educate over 43 honduran children

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has grown recently. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
