We strive to preach the gospel to a lost and dying world equipping them to move forward and live a victorious life. "God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6. Our goal is to help people understand the foundational life principles of Christianity and win lost souls. We engage in personal one-on-one coaching, conferences, counseling, prayer calls, social media teachings, and traveling ministry to accomplish our mission. We provided 338 volunteer coaching hours and 145 paid coaching hours in addiction, recovery, and healing. We also provided one-on-one marriage counseling to persons looking for spiritual guidance using Biblical principles on the best ways to be connected with their spouse. Lastly, we provided relationship counseling and one-on-one tragedy counseling to empower individuals to follow God's will for their lives. 0 7850 Our ministry conducted a multi-state outreach titled Power of Evangelism, spanning six nights in Champaign, Illinois and three nights in Pennsboro, West Virginia.

We electronically filed an 8868 extension on March 19, 2025 to provide us additional time to ensure our records met best IRS practices. The Submission ID for our 8868 extension filling is 8600762025078l663161. We were notified by email the 6-month extension was accepted by the IRS. The board of directors is committed to financial transparency and is working diligently to expand our fundraising efforts so we can hire professional services to assist us with our bookkeeping and future tax filings. The board has resolved to undertake the Form 990 each year within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year or file an extension as needed to meet legal requirements. In addition, each quarter our board will review the IRS website and Exempt Organizations update to ensure that no changes have occurred in regard to our annual compliance requirements.
