Nationals were directly assisted, each one serving several hundred in impoverished communities. Regions assisted include Dominican Republic, Asia, and Ghana.In 2024, the Organization added three high school classrooms and a high school office to its project in Ghana. Over $13,000 was sent to purchase Ghanaian baskets in support of local weavers. The Organization assisted schools with 450-500 students each in Ghana and the Dominican Republic, ensuring these students receive a quality education with exposure to Christian principles and the Scriptures. The Organization completed work on a home for Yesenia, a resilient mother of six children, one of whom is deaf, who lived in a very impoverished neighborhood of Santo Domingo. Her family endured harsh conditions in a rented, mold-infested apartment with only one bedroom for Yesenia and all her children. She and her family moved into their new residence as the school year began. The Organization initiated the process of starting a self-support business in the Dominican Republic, with plans to launch in 2025. Additionally, 13 church planters in Asia were supported, additional land was purchased for one of the churches, and a new well was installed. Construction continued on the mother church complex, and wheat planting began as a self-support venture on one of the plots of land. Forty-one new believers were baptized in a highly persecuted region, and despite threats to their well-being, more than 1,000 individuals attended the Christmas programs. 411463 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 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 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 FL X X Ellen J Abramson 3217577252 PO Box 411210 Melbourne FL 32941 Doreen Logan Chair/Director (Ended 04/24) 0.80 X X 0 0 0 Dan Rodelius Chair/Director 0.80 X X 0 0 0 Coleen Seitter Secretary/Director 0.80 X X 0 0 0 Judy Baldwin Director (Began 04/24) 0.80 X 0 0 0 Seth Friese Director 0.80 X 0 0 0 Dale Swartout Treasurer/Director 0.80 X 0 0 0 Grant Frye Director (Ended 04/24) 0.80 X 0 0 0 Sandra Gillespie Director 0.80 X 0 0 0 Kim Holdham Director (Began 04/24) 0.80 X 0 0 0 Steve Raley Director (Began 04/24) 0.80 X 0 0 0 Ellen Abramson President 60.00 X 108800 0 27200 108800 0 27200 1 0 0 0 0 522146 522146 26212 26212 548358 0 0 26212 220995 220995 136000 102000 34000 65541 16385 32771 16385 13337 7496 4588 1253 13750 10312 3438 1866 932 467 467 11438 9925 1513 5153 3940 1213 35378 34895 483 1125 844 281 217 184 33 Miscellaneous 4739 3555 1184 509539 411463 79971 18105 491285 534375 2251 1294 2082 957 252346 262550 134 118 745847 798000 415 0 415 0 X 583278 619666 162154 178334 745432 798000 745847 798000 38819 13749 0 X X 1 X 0 1 0 X 543275 559567 721439 527449 522146 2873876 543275 559567 721439 527449 522146 2873876 462225 2411651 45264 4984 418 11159 26212 88037 2961913 0.81420 0.79720 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 46596 6779 733 52642 44746 2150 300 46596 47267 -1891 630 44746 52718 2221 7650 22 47267 49415 3960 588 69 52718 0.00000 0.90000 0.10000 0 0 2251 1294 957 957 Investments 262550 F 262550 Part V, Line 4: The Nicholas R Hanttula Memorial Fund was established so that income from the endowment could be used to assist national Christian leaders in accomplishing their God-given visions. 0 Central America and the Caribbean - Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, 0 0 Grantmaking 130845 Central America and the Caribbean - Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, 0 0 Program services Church planting and child sponsorship 1917 South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, 0 0 Grantmaking 58600 South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, 0 0 Program services Church planting and orphanage support 27902 Sub-Saharan Africa - Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina, Faso, 0 0 Grantmaking 31549 Sub-Saharan Africa - Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina, Faso, 0 0 Program services Church planting and school construction 6052 0 0 0 0 0 0 256865 0 256865 Cash assistance for church planting, child sponsorship, and related projects Central America and the Caribbean - Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, 14 130845 Wire Cash assistance for church planting, school construction, and related projects Sub-Saharan Africa - Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, 5 58600 Wire Cash assistance for church planting, orphanage support, and related projects South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, 1 31549 Wire 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part I, Line 2: All grant recipients provide budgets before grants are awarded, and these budgets are monitored against actual expenditures during the period of providing grant funds.
