Overview

Mission

Travel to area jails and prisons to provide chaplin services and minister to incarcerated individuals, and provide spiritually oriented educational materials so the incarcerated individuals will be able to understand the Bible and how to apply the spiritual truths to their lives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 55% for direct work, and 45% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - 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 the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
