Overview

Mission

We provide substance-abuse recovery and treatment for people who have struggled with addictions, with an emphasis on family restoration and skills to return productively to society.

What it reported doing in 2024

Housing provided for men and women seeking recovery from substance-abuse addictions. Each man and woman spent approximately 40-50 hours per week in discipleship-related activities, such as classes, counseling, and mentoring. During this time, each person attended classes approximately 5-7 times per week that focused on Biblical-related studies. Care for them was provided 365 days in 2024. Those who stayed the entire recovery time were there between 9 and 15 months at a time. The objective is to help people become authentic Christians who no longer depend on alcohol/drugs, are staying out of legal trouble, are physically healthy, and are productive members of their families and society. Persons also learn to live in a family setting, they learn how to cook and care for themselves, learn to accept responsibility for their actions, they learn to be accountable, they learn to live in a disciplined lifestyle, and they learn how to respect authority. All of their needs are met for them while in the program, including housing, transportation, utilities, food, study materials, meetings with legal authorities, and other needs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 63% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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

STRONG - 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.
