Overview

Mission

We are dedicated to seeing lives restored by the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST

What it reported doing in 2024

Many lives restored and came to Christ throughout the year of 2024. As well as thousands of people fed through the food pantry. We also purchased a building to start a thrift store to help the local population.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filed totals do not add up.
