Overview

Mission

Our mission is to bless, encourage, and strengthen ministries that focus on feeding, clothing, sheltering, visiting, and looking after the poor, sick orphaned, widowed, or imprisoned Matthew 2531. We accomplish these by organizing short term mission trips, mostly to Rwanda, where we partake in evangelism, construction, water purification systems and generaly serving indigenous ministries.

What it reported doing in 2025

We housed, fed, clothed, provided training, and cared for 6 young men previously in the Home of Innocence, provided 24/7 care for 12 girls in the Home of Purpose, paid school fees, provided backpacks, shoes, socks and other supplies for a total of 70 students, provided medical insurance for 162 individuals and medical care for 5 individuals in extreme need, and supported a feeding program supplying food for 21 vulnerable families. All of this was done in Rwanda.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
