What it reported doing in 2024
Job training: we find that most of our shelter guests, recovery students, and fyc families are eager to make a better life for themselves and those they love. To this end, john 3:16 mission considers work experience and job training as a key part of our mission to prevent homelessness, offering a path out of poverty. The women in our renew program work with beeloved trading, using honey and other bee byproducts to create products we sell. The men of new creation help on our refuge farm with managing crops and working in our ranching operation. All students help out with kitchen and cleaning duty around campus.mission goods store & mission market: the mission goods store provides gently used donated clothing, household items, and furniture at no cost to families with limited financial resources. Guests are invited to "shop" for essential items needed to support their households. The mission market operates as a free grocery store where families can select food items once every 30 days, helping reduce food insecurity and support household stability.outreach: each week, john 3:16 mission conducts outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness. Trained staff visit areas where unsheltered individuals may be living to check on their welfare and encourage individuals to take advantage of the services available at the shelter. Outreach efforts encourage individuals to access meals, shelter, recovery programs, and case management while also connecting them with community-based social and health services.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model

- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
