Each of the tenants agree to stated Christian beliefs in efforts to help develop this community. Each of the rooms rented to the tenants are rented below market value. Crazy Love Ministries also rents out other properties around the Bay Area (particularly in low income housing areas) to low income individuals and families at below market value, so as to help them develop community and plant churches where they are. In addition to the Bayview and Mission, we have also focused our attention on the areas of Daly City and East Palo Alto. In 2022, Crazy Love Ministries purchased a new property in Los Gatos for the purposes of creating a place of retreat for people to get away and spend quiet time with the Lord. 385337 Special Projects: God often surprises Crazy Love with different opportunites to serve Him, but these opportunities do not always become one of our core programs, like Content, Teaching, Mercy Ministries, or Housing. As such, we have created a special vertical, called "Special Projects" to house these different areas that we get to serve Him in. Listed below are some of these "special projects": Food Development Program: At the end of 2019, Crazy Love was approached by Jones Chan, a food scientist who had a recipe for an innovative food product that would be 3 to 5 times more nutritious than what was currently being distributed in food relief programs around the world-and this food product was cheaper too! Crazy Love began a partnership with Jones and developed our Superfood Initiative to launch in Afghanistan. We worked closely with a local partner in Afghanistan, who was already on the ground there and had the infrastructure to not only make this food product, but also to distribute it at scale. Even with the fall of the country to the Taliban, God allowed us to continue to produce and distribute much needed food for orphanages and displacement camps for refugees there. Locally, we have developed a nutrient dense meal bar that is specifically designed for the poor and those experiencing homelessness. The packaging of the meal bar contains a QR code that show videos of the Gospel message when it is scanned. We pray that the bar can be used as a platform to speak hope and to share the love of Christ. Hong Kong: Although Francis's visa to stay in Hong Kong was rejected, Francis continues to invest into the leaders in Hong Kong via Zoom meetings and calls. The church planting work in Hong Kong continues, with believers on the ground serving in the poorest areas of the city. Kardia: At the end of 2022, Crazy Love was connected with two amazing ministry partners, Vincent and Joanna Vitale, who are Oxford trained scholars in the areas of apologetics and biblical studies. Their vision is to imagine apologetics for a new generation of skeptics-to address their unique questions and doubts. Crazy Love has been partnering with them to build their vision. 348219 182452 Content & resources - Crazy Love exists to create and distribute world class content and training to serve the church and encourage the Body of Christ. Publishing - We self-publish for the purpose of being able to retain more of the profit margin (as opposed to simply receiving royalty), so that we can give more towards ministries in need. Francis Chan's self-published book includes the title: You and Me Forever. The book was published in 2014 has been sold or downloaded close to 1 million times. With many resources (such as videos and an electronic copy of the book) that are made available online for free, and with international translations being fulfilled in over 20 launguages and countries, we anticipate that You and Me Forever will continue to point marriages far and wide to Jesus, as we pledge to give 100 % of the net proceeds of the book to Christ-centered ministries around the world. In the fall of 2018, Francis partnered with David C Cook to release a book called: Letters to the Church. Letters to the Church is the message Francis Chan felt God wanted him to share about God's desire for what the church should be like based on Scripture. Shortly thereafter, God gave another message to Francis about His desire to see all believers united, regardless of denomination or background. This message became the book: Until Unity, which was published in 2021. Both books received much positive feedback and are currently being distributed worldwide in numerous languages. Royalties received from the books are being used to fund the work of both local and international Christ-centered ministries. The messages from Letters to the Church and Until Unity have become our blueprints to plant churches and to train pastors and leaders. Technology - With more and more people consuming content digitally, Crazy Love leverages technology to create and distribute content across the world. Through the use of videos and social media, we are more effectively bringing the Gospel to the furthest corners of the world. This year, we turned our efforts to creating more content for our podcast and various video series. 244485 25555 Teaching - Church Intensive was started in 2017 and is a training program for pastors and future leaders to study ecclesiology alongside of We Are Church, the church planting network started by Francis Chan in 2013. We are far from perfect, but we are experiencing some of the blessings promised in Scripture, as we structure the values of our church on what is Biblically commanded of the church in Scripture. Our hope is to encourage others along in their journey. Through the Church Intensive program, participants can engage in classes taught by pastors of We Are Church, participate in our house church gatherings, hit the streets with us to reach out to the local community, and refocus in prayer both personally and corporately. In addition to offering online classes, which were started because of the pandemic, we have launched 2-3 day long programs that meet in-person in different cities across the U.S. 232212 296266 Crazy Love helps other Christ-centered organizations, both locally and globally, through grants and love offerings. Some of the organizations that we have supported in 2023 include: Basil Technologies, New Life Dream Center, Village Life, Kardia and more. 50365 Mercy Ministries - In line with our values to pursue Jesus's teaching to love and serve those in need, Crazy Love formed a division called Mercy Ministries to advocate and model a lifestyle of sacrifice and love for the poor for the church. To do this, we identify and serve the poor and most vulnerable areas that we're in, both locally and globally. Globally, we partner with God-centered, like-minded organizations to create opportunities of engagement for the church and to mobilize them to serve. Locally, we continue to invest deeply in low income areas, such as Bayview and East Palo Alto, by planting churches, building community and sharing the Gospel. 527062 296266 25555 1779792 true true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 19 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 3 2 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Paul Chan 6504836682 107 Sagamore St San Francisco CA 94112 Kevin Shedden Member/Secretary 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Robert Zabala Member/Chairman of the Board 40.0 X X 56000 0 1481 Meryllia Luavasa Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Francis Chan Member/President 25.0 X 0 0 56346 Kuk Whan Kim Executive Director 40.0 X 36000 0 73481 Paul Chan CFO/Treasurer 40.0 X 24000 0 25481 116000 0 156789 0 false false false 0 1863063 334715 1863063 Residential Program 531110 352722 352722 Publishing Royalties 513130 97284 97284 Church Intensive 900099 25555 25555 0 0 0 0 475561 12126 12126 0 0 36756 35943 813 0 813 813 164085 78917 85168 85168 0 0 0 0 0 2436731 560729 0 12939 286266 286266 10000 10000 272789 229143 43646 24153 18137 6016 460657 392036 68621 14294 13789 505 34671 32722 1949 2000 2000 6564 6564 196011 196001 10 0 77508 43701 33807 14179 12204 1975 435534 408620 26914 27574 24924 2650 95654 95654 18932 14570 4362 Business Gifts 5625 25 5600 0 0 0 0 1982411 1779792 202619 0 652823 769074 5420 3160 0 0 0 0 58547 34019 14495 14902 4065221 382368 3656039 3682853 448958 886725 0 0 6400 6000 4842682 5396733 6775 9106 0 0 9209 8742 15984 17848 X 4826698 5378885 4826698 5378885 4842682 5396733 454320 97867 0 X false false false X 1444643 2126463 2172973 1810301 1863063 9417443 1588591 1036916 1129859 760445 639646 5155457 0 0 0 3033234 3163379 3302832 2570746 2502709 14572900 158000 439000 944000 409000 380000 2330000 1056726 511180 593667 148688 114233 2424494 1214726 950180 1537667 557688 494233 4754494 9818406 512 273 6465 8730 12126 28106 0 512 273 6465 8730 12126 28106 0 112 0 0 0 0 112 3033858 3163652 3309297 2579476 2514835 14601118 0.6724 0.6289 0 0.0342 X Schedule A, Part III The organization is a public charity under section 509(a)(2) and completes Schedule A (Form 990), Part III.
