Overview
Mission
Turning frowns upside down with the love of Jesus. We target lower income communities that suffer from being neglected in areas of spiritual guidance poverty and broken households.We focus on these lower income areas by going into their streets inviting people to sit down over a meal and talk about things they are struggling with drugs violence poor parenting neglect etc and pray with them through these areas while counseling them and meeting their physical needs. while we can. We buy them groceries get them clothes and provide hygiene products and more. We also distribute biblical content that helps them in their walk with Jesus. We also host events in these neighborhoods that consist of free food bouncy houses haircuts and more.
What it reported doing in 2025
Transition home project. We started building a mobile transition home for people coming out of the streets looking to pursue rehabilitation for a better life. The project was about 3 months long. It remains unflnished but still more to come. During the process we had a homeless couple off of the streets living with us and helping build the project. We got the wife into a rehab and the husband helped on the project and then lived in it when it was possible.

The verdict
MIXED - 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.
