OUR OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY AND MISUNDERSTANDING. TWO KEY WAYS WE DO THIS ARE THROUGH BUILDING HOPE (HELPING PEOPLE SEE THE WAY FORWARD), AND BUILDING TRUST (ENSURING SUPPORT FOR THOSE SEEKING A BETTER FUTURE). INTERFAITH DIALOGUE PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH: IN OUR 2022 REPORT, WE NOTED THAT DOULOS WAS WORKING TO DEVELOP A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE AL-AZHAR IN CAIRO (THE WORLD-LEADING INSTITUTION OF ISLAMIC SCHOLARSHIP) AND FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. IN 2023 WE CEMENTED THE DETAILS OF THIS PARTNERSHIP AND PREPARED TO WELCOME A CLASS OF STUDENTS FROM FULLER TO STUDY AT AL-AZHAR UNDER DOULOS GUIDANCE IN 2024. WE ALSO CONTINUED OUR BEHIND-THE-SCENES WORK WITH MUSLIM, CHRISTIAN, AND JEWISH LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD, AND SPEAKING AT VARIOUS CONFERENCES, INCLUDING A MAJOR CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. IN OUR 2022 REPORT WE MENTIONED BEGINNING RESEARCH FOR A BOOK ON THE ROLE PLAYED BY HOSPITALITY (GIVING AND RECEIVING) IN BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS. IN 2023, FIELD RESEARCH FOR THIS BOOK WAS COMPLETED, AND DATA ANALYSIS AND WRITE-UP OF THE RESEARCH BEGAN, WITH A GOAL OF COMPLETION BY END OF 2024. IN ADDITION, IN 2023 DOULOS PERSONNEL LED A DELEGATION OF CHRISTIAN SCHOLARS TO SPEAK AT A SHI'I SCHOLARLY CONFERENCE IN KARBALA, IRAQ. 0 48169 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS: IN 2023, DOULOS CONTINUED OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS IN THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF MAURITANIA. THESE PROGRAMS REMAINED SMALL IN SCALE, DUE TO FACTORS OUTLINED IN OUR REPORT OF 2016. FORTUNATELY, ONE OF THESE FACTORS (A FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT) WAS DEFINITIVELY DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE BY THE MAURITANIAN COURT IN 2023. PROGRAMS CONTINUING FROM 2017 AND INTO 2023 INCLUDE SUPPORT FOR A SCHOOL IN AN UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITY, PROVIDING EXPERT ADVICE TO INDIGENOUS MAURITANIAN NGOS, COORDINATION OF SOME SMALL-SCALE HUMANITARIAN AID, AND OTHER SMALL PROJECTS IN RURAL VILLAGES. IN 2023 WE CONTINUED OVERSIGHT OF THE MICROENTERPRISE/JOB-CREATION PROJECT BEGUN IN 2020.WE PARTNERED WITH ASLAN CHILD RESCUE MINISTRIES FOR THE PROJECT. ASLAN CREATED 3 JOBS IN DECEMBER 2021 AND HAS CONTINUED TO BE STABLE WITH MODEST GROWTH THROUGHOUT 2023. ASLAN PROVIDED THE CAPITAL FOR THE MICROLOANS AND NOW, DOULOS COMMUNITY STAFF BROKER THE LOANS AND OVERSEE THE REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS TO ASLAN. THIS ENABLED ASLAN TO MAKE TWO OTHER SMALL BUSINESS LOANS IN 2023. 0 12042 60211 JOSEPH CUMMING PRESIDENT 20.00 30000 0 0 KENNETH JASKO VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 0 0 0 JOHN RAMEY DIRECTOR 2.00 0 0 0 MICHELE CUMMING DIRECTOR 20.00 18000 0 0 ELIZABETH BREWSTER DIRECTOR 1.00 0 0 0 BYRON KLAUS DIRECTOR 1.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PEG KONKOL PO BOX 795 ONALASKA WI 546500795 6083325664 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE 0 NONE 0 1 X 74172 81680 95272 80574 76780 408478 74172 81680 95272 80574 76780 408478 27669 380809 184 109 63 356 408834 0.93150 0.91640 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 16 - OTHER EXPENSES DESCRIPTION: OFFICE EXPENSES.
