Overview
Mission
The organization's primary purpose is missionary services work.
What it reported doing in 2025
Project Valor - a sponsorship program so teens who have financial hardship can attend middle and high school. This includes paying for uniforms and school supplies. Payments are made for their computer classes and tutoring program needs. Students receive food care packages, personal care items as well as medical expenses are covered. FundaCrea is a nonprofit foundation we partner with whose mission is "to be a channel for the integral and sustainable development of poor communities through the joint work of leaders and local inhabitants, to whom we transmit knowledge, resources and values". They focus on the areas of Health, Education, Economy and Value. We visit two nursing homes weekly. In addition to providing a snack and Christian service each week we also help with medical needs and purchase Christmas presents for the residents every year. We also have an after school Bible program for children in elementary school.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
