Overview
Mission
Mentoring Timothy is a 10-month mentoring program for young men who desire to take their relationship with Christ more seriously.
What it reported doing in 2024
Mentoring timothy is a 9-month discipleship program that mentors young men aged 18-25 years of age. Our goal is to help young men cultivate a relationship with god through the study of the bible and living with fellow believers of christ. In 2024, we enrolled 8 young men for our program and were at max capacity. We believe life change happens when men live in real, intentional, and transparent community. Our program involves learning practical skills, cooking, basic mechanics, bible classes, hikes and adventures, and an international exposure trip. The last four years we have visited intercity programs in argentina and have been so impacted by the ministries there. Our off grid setting is conducive to personal growth through hard work and community living. Our property and environment provides a healthy break from our me-centered world, learning to be still before the lord, and to live a countercultural life that focuses on walking dependently on christ so that we see others through his eyes.
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 the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
