Overview
Mission
The Mission of Restoring Faith Inc. is to reflect the love of Christ and improve the quality of life to the most vulnerable families by providing basic necessities and emergency aid on a local and global scale.
What it reported doing in 2025
Our faith-based mission is to reflect the love of Christ by providing basic necessities and emergency aid to oppressed and marginalized people groups on a local and global scale. We are compelled by Jesus Christ to follow His commission to take care of the poor and needy. We are committed to this objective 100% and take much responsibility to be champions for the vulnerable. Restoring Faith Inc. seeks to address deprivation through community projects involving distribution of aid such as food, medical aid, shelter improvements and other relief aid.We feel a God given drive to improve the quality of life of those families most vulnerable and deprived, and to the poor and needy during times of extraordinary crises. We build relationships with families who confide intimate and disturbing accounts of war, violence, kidnapping, rape and slavery. Over time, trust has been developed through these long-term empowering relationships. Restoring Faith, Inc 's Winter Project and Food Distribution Project, for example, allow for improvement to current living conditions that previously left families in a state of poverty without sustainable food or heat sources. Our team distributes the relief aid and evaluates current conditions on a frequent basis. A safe and secure environment has been developed for the families to receive the various aid projects we distribute. An important part of this critical outreach is to continually and consistently evaluate the needs of the most vulnerable in the communities we serve.Our team routinely and actively expands the scope of our purpose to provide basic necessities and emergency services globally based on new opportunities presented to us. Our mission focus remains the same and our expanding outreach is no longer limited to only Jordan but to other countries. The heart of our projects are consistent with the service we've been providing since 2021. This expansion is primarily in response to the overwhelming suffering and the severe economic and social conditions in the Middle East that have resulted from war and conflicts; therefore, we have enlarged our charitable programs to include Lebanon, Syria, Pakistan, Greece and any other areas where we can provide life changing assistance through dedicated team efforts. Facing war and economic disparities in these countries, we target those who have experienced disruption, mortality and disability. We hope to restore health and well being to the immense suffering and catastrophic losses these families have endured. In committing to this humanitarian endeavor, as always, we strive to identify the most vulnerable and disadvantaged beneficiaries. Our mission remains to primarily target care to women, single parents, seniors, the ill and disabled, homeless, low-income and at-risk. Additionally, we assist members of the persecuted church in hostile regions. This includes possible program initiatives to rescue and restore those trapped in modern-day slavery. Through our unwavering commitment, we aim to preserve the lives of those who lack alternative means of survival while improving the quality of life and offering hope for families most in need.
