Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2025
Year of continued transition and expanding reach for peter's shadow the year 2025 marked another significant phase of transition for peter's shadow. As the ministry continues to evolve, its relationship with the rapidly expanding encounter school/akron campus has matured, resulting in a necessary and planned shift in peter's shadow's overall role. While the encounter schools local influence and operational scope have grown exponentiallytaking on a larger share of regional training and ministry eventspeters shadow has deliberately narrowed its focus to concentrate on its core, specialized healing ministries. Despite the decrease in its broader organizational footprint, the ministry remains deeply committed to its specialized work. Peters shadow will continue to be the primary provider of the essential unbound and inner healing ministries based out of immaculate heart of mary in cuyahoga falls. This centralized location remains a critical hub for deep, personal ministry, serving individuals seeking release and profound emotional and spiritual healing through these specific, highly effective models. A major strategic development and a source of immense encouragement has been the dramatic increase in cooperation from local clergy. The number of pastors who have warmly welcomed peter's shadow by establishing dedicated prayer rooms within their parishes has surged throughout the diocese. This expansion is a game-changer for accessibility and local outreach. By decentralizing the ministry, prayer team members who live in different geographical areas of the diocese are now empowered to minister to people from their immediate local community. This vital change eliminates the significant travel burden for both the ministry teams and those seeking prayer, allowing individuals to receive ministry closer to home rather than having to drive all the way to the central location in cuyahoga falls. This network of parish-based prayer rooms represents a powerful expansion of peter's shadow's healing grace into the farthest reaches of the diocese, ensuring the specialized ministries are more readily available to all who need them.

The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
