Overview

Mission

Developing and modeling both support for Christian mission starts as well as economic development in needy areas.

What it reported doing in 2024

Development of jobs for poorer, unemployed people in rural Florida. Current jobs have been sustained. The expansion into agricultural business efforts that fit local lifestyles has continued to progress. We have developed several more models of self-help and are continuing the research and exploration of the most effective models for teaching others to become self-sufficient and build self-respect from healthy work ethics.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
