Bible and life-skills training was held weekly with a group of about 30 teenagers. Of those teenagers, about 12 also committed to more intensive monthly training in how to teach children. These 12 are also leaders for the weekly children's services. Four training workshops were held to teach approximately 200 local volunteers how to teach children. Coinciding with 3 of those workshops, we facilitated outreaches for the children of the respective local communities reaching approximately 200 children with biblical teaching, connecting them with the local churches and giving them small Bibles. Additionally, we held 1 workshop training about 30 local volunteers how to include and teach children with disabilities. We hosted 2 teams of American volunteers, and with their help, conducted 5 additional outreaches for about 500 local children in different nearby communities. We were able to provide formula and diapers to about 20 mothers each month. During 2023, we have continued to press the Department of Social Development to register Bridge of Hope Children's Home so that we will be able to admit and care for abandoned and orphaned children. 0 0 0 137531 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 X 7 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 IL X X Rachel Majors 3097069698 2330 Robin Lane Elgin IL 60123 X Jeff Hunt President 40 0 X 33850 0 2011 Abby Hunt Vice President 40 0 X 33850 0 2011 Barry Clair Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Vern Hunt Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sonya Jones Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jeni Phelps Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Larry Sauter Chairman 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Ellliot Anderson Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Rachel Majors Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 67700 0 4022 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 270859 0 270859 0 457 457 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 271316 457 0 0 0 0 0 0 41566 41566 0 0 73000 54750 7300 10950 4155 3117 415 623 5585 4188 558 839 1750 0 1750 0 2778 1977 801 0 1822 1534 288 0 1506 1506 21587 16767 2140 2680 844 422 422 0 Ministry Supplies 4167 4167 0 0 Fundraising Expense 201 0 0 201 Intern and Team Expenses 7537 7537 0 0 166498 137531 13674 15293 72821 170476 1916 5727 74737 176203 10060 5731 10060 5731 X 64677 170472 0 0 64677 170472 74737 176203 104818 977 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 156937 142172 250072 156338 270859 976378 156937 142172 250072 156338 270859 976378 976378 428 457 885 409 375 0 0 0 784 978047 0.99829 0.99809 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 There was no Other Income in 2023.
