Overview

Mission

Our mission is to reconcile man to God and parents to their children by establishing ministries and programs to that end.

What it reported doing in 2024

Prison Ministry: encompasses many facets of Team 5:18 Ministries. Shane teaches classes at the prison with the help of faithful volunteers who commit to come every week. The incarcerated men have been let down by many people in their lives so this is very important that the men come each week. Malachi Dads class is a full year commitment of homework and attending the "call outs". These classes teach men Biblical principles of being a Godly father even while incarcerated. Team 5:18 hosts "A Day With Dad" each year. We provide lots of outdoor activities for the children and their fathers to enjoy. There is also a puppet show, singing, games indoor, and lunch provided. The fathers attend a meeting on Friday for instruction for the following day and they decorate a picture frame that will have a picture of they and their children taken on Saturday to take home. A backpack is provided with a Bible and the picture.

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 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
