We have been in Haiti since 1977 and are recognized as an NGO by the Haitian government. For many years we operated an orphanage there, taking in cases of urgent need and providing for them into adulthood. In recent years we have transitioned from the orphanage into supporting children and their families in their own homes, supplying them with food, education and medical care. In addition to this, we have a feeding program, providing food to needy families in the rural mountain regions above Port-au-Prince, as well as to many smaller Haitian-run orphanages. We also have two Christian group homes for young adults, most of whom grew up in our former orphanage, where we are helping them to finish their education and learn trades in order to transition to adulthood. These young people are also instrumental in operating our other works in Haiti, such as distri false false 924877 WELFAREOur church offers the opportunity for serious Christian training for those who desire to live and work together.

Our church has resolved to participate in this program due to the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Haiti where our mission work is located. Several of our church members have elected to sponsor various ones and the Church is willing and able to act as a co-sponsor. The Church will assist in providing safe and appropriate housing for these people. We will also assist in providing basic living needs such as food, clothing, and medical care for the duration of their humanitarian parole period. The Church will also provide for continuing education and/or assistance in finding employment once they have received work authorization through the government. 25506 1932568 true true false false false false false false false false true true false true true false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false true 22 0 true 4 true true true true HA false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 6 true false false false true true true true false false true false false true true true true true false false false NY PA X MRS PATRICIA FAIR 5702967453 400 GILLIGAN STREET PO BOX 10209 SCRANTON PA 18502 JAMES DIGIACOMA BOARD MEMBER 5.00 40.00 X 0 42000 2774 GINA ZILIOLI Treasurer 10.00 40.00 X X 10000 30960 0 TIMOTHY MCANDREWS BOARD MEMBER 5.00 30.00 X 0 33280 0 ANDREW PEREIRA Vice President 5.00 40.00 X X 0 28800 0 SARA WEISS BOARD MEMBER 5.00 30.00 X 0 23640 0 CHARLES MEANS President 10.00 20.00 X X 0 20800 0 TARAH MCANDREWS Secretary 20.00 0.00 X X 15000 0 4589 BARBARA MACRAE BOARD MEMBER 20.00 30.00 X 0 19440 0 GERALD FAIR Board Member 5.00 40.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA FAIR BOARD MEMBER 5.00 40.00 X 0 0 0 25000 198920 7363 0 false false false 0 1399286 184032 1399286 HOUSING, FOOD, MEDICAL 900099 652509 652509 652509 571555 98606 472949 0 0 172350 8198 172350 8198 180548 168198 12350 1323152 27300 1273642 1433 49510 25867 75377 75377 0 0 168040 168040 168040 0 3047315 727886 266804 653339 9200 9200 0 822982 822982 0 25000 25000 0 19796 19796 0 6997 6997 3427 3427 0 5296 5296 13150 13150 0 0 32394 32394 0 0 7837 3563 4274 0 0 304233 287113 17120 55321 38674 16647 0 255 255 0 0 168225 168225 103278 62445 40833 FOOD EXPENSE 377465 377465 MEDICAL/LIVING EXPENSE 228167 228167 AIRPLANE EXPENSES 123046 123046 NONCASH ASSISTANCE 76701 76701 80349 26003 54346 2463119 1932568 530551 0 302820 301054 1002476 862901 0 2850 0 0 0 653024 675529 13960 30672 5884364 2693948 2879695 3190416 5593160 6830585 3561006 2818592 0 0 2748538 1762966 16754679 16475565 17237 38623 10384 3230 27621 41853 X 16727058 16433712 16727058 16433712 16754679 16475565 X 584196 -135128 -742414 X false false false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 963940 963940 3993357 2128325 1865032 290184 12481 277703 189003 145870 43133 447880 407272 40608 3190416 2818592 DUE FROM CHURCH MEMBERS 9957 DUE FROM RELATED PARTY 1748910 PREPAID UBIT 4098 Rounding 1 1762966 PAYROLL TAXES PAYABLE 2280 SECURITY DEPOSITS 950 3230 3047315 3047315 3047315 3205533 742414 742414 2463119 2463119 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S FEDERAL TAXES $0 NET LOSS FROM WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY $742414 true HAITI, WI LOCAL MISSION 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES Food, Med, Util, Rent, Support 570690 HAITI via U.S. funds 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES Food/Supplies/Rent/Legal/Shipp 228925 HAITI - donated goods 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES Fortified food distrib to poor 84826 USA in care of Haiti 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES donated goods converted 0 884441 884441 Food & Clothing donated antique thrift value Gospel Outreach Wire Food and Clothi Wholesale 2 false false false false false false X 1 163282 COST X FURNITURE 1 7500 COST X ANTIQUE 1 4500 COST X FURNITURE 1 4250 COST X FURNITURE AND FIXTURES 1 4500 COST false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 TIMOTHY MCANDREWS AND TARAH MCANDREWS AND LINDA MCANDREWS HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.
