Overview
Mission
Our mission is to be the hands and feet of Christ, meeting the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of people. Physical needs are addressed through means including, but not limited to, financial assistance, medical care, food, water, education, and training. Spiritual needs are fulfilled through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Emotional needs are satisfied by fostering personal communities and nurturing healthy relationships. Our foundation for ministry is Jesus and His Word, the Bible.
What it reported doing in 2024
Project Management & Groundwork (Zambia & Tanzania). Provided remote project management for a clinic in Zambia and coordinated groundwork for upcoming Tanzania initiatives in partnership with local churches and aligned organizations. Activities included planning, scheduling, communications, and budgeting support to ensure projects meet local needs and compliance standards. No cash grants were issued; staff time is reflected in Form 990-EZ, Part I, line 12 (compensation), and there were no separate out? of? pocket program expenses to report for this line in 2024.
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 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
