What it reported doing in 2025
Justice Speaks and affiliations: Bridges to the Nations: Is our partner ministry that works on the ground in Thailand. We fund the Women's and Children's Centers but we are NOT registered with the government in Thailand. Bridges to the Nations trains the women to lead the Centers and we've been working with them since 2010.Nattawut Chianram: This paypal account name is Nattawut Chianram, a Pastor who oversees my Nepal Director, "Oh Preeyaphorn". But Oh manages the account - her email, and phone number is registered in this Paypal account. She is the Director of our Nepal Projects and monies had been sent to her on a monthly basis to run the Children's Projects. This account no longer works as we use another platform (which just started) to receive the monthly payments.Tuition Program: Thailand Scholarship (Tuition) Program was for 10 students. 10 at-risk teenagers who would otherwise be trafficked into Thailand's sex trade. We provided "scholarship" assistance for them to continue attending school (a small stipend of $100 a month) that included their uniform, books, and a little help for food etc.Thailand Rent Payment: Rent Payment was for our Women's Center in Pattaya, Thailand. We acquired this Center in 2019, it's situated in the heart of one of Pattaya's notorious red light districts. Nepal Rent Payment: This is the monthly payment that we had sent via Paypal monthly in 2024 to the account for "Nattawut Chianram". This is to cover for the Nepal Children's Center (aka Hugs Center) in the city of Kathmandu and the Centers in the Villages. Purpose of this Center is to PREVENT at-risk children from entering into the global sex trade, receive care and God's love.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
