This multifaceted training program aims not just to transfer knowledge but to create a transformative learning experience that equips local leaders with the necessary skills and spiritual depth to assume important roles in evangelism, discipleship, church planting, pastoral training, mentoring, and church growth initiatives. Through this program, we have effectively trained current staff members in core ministry principles, empowering them to mentor and oversee local lay leaders. This focus on leadership development ensures these lay leaders are well-prepared for outreach efforts within their communities, enabling them to connect with individuals and families in meaningful ways. Our goal is to develop a network of passionate, knowledgeable leaders who can carry out the mission of the church and make a significant impact in their neighborhoods through targeted evangelism and discipleship activities. By investing in the spiritual growth of these individuals, we are building a solid foundation for ongoing church growth and community 64494 32960 Economic Development Program - As part of our ongoing efforts to promote economic growth and sustainability in the communities we serve, we have offered comprehensive training classes focused on sustainable agriculture and micro-enterprise development. Our approach empowers local communities with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively utilize agricultural resources, helping them achieve financial stability and self-sufficiency. This year, we developed and implemented 17 sustainable backyards dedicated to dragon fruit production, a key part of our strategy for agricultural and economic sustainability. Notably, we have expanded our dragon fruit fields by establishing a total of 3,200 new plants that will significantly contribute to our outreach efforts. This expansion serves multiple purposes: it not only boosts the agricultural productivity of the communities we assist but also creates economic opportunities through the cultivation and sale of this high-value crop. Our commitment to managing existing Sustainable Backyard projects remains firm. We continually monitor these initiatives to evaluate their impact and provide ongoing support where needed. Through the expansion of dragon fruit fields and the launch of supportive training programs, our Economic Development Program is making a meaningful, positive difference in the communities we serve. 41041 20974 Social Development Program - We are committed to fostering comprehensive growth within the communities we serve through a holistic approach called Integral Community Transformation. This initiative covers key areas aimed at enhancing quality of life and promoting sustainable development for all community members. A primary focus is the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) program, which works to ensure access to clean water, proper sanitation facilities, and thorough hygiene education. Working alongside local stakeholders, we have put in place effective systems that improve water quality and sanitation infrastructure, significantly reducing waterborne diseases. We regularly hold educational workshops to teach community members about the importance of hygiene practices such as handwashing and sanitation, which are vital for better public health. In addition to WASH, we strongly emphasize literacy programs, recognizing that education is essential for personal and community growth. Our tailored classes serve both children and adults, helping participants develop basic reading and writing skills. By raising literacy rates, we enable individuals to access better economic opportunities, participate more actively in their communities, and elevate their overall quality of life. Collectively, these diverse elements of our Social Development Program work together to build resilient communities. 185685 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 5 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true false true false false false false CO ND X Ron Sanchez 7196460582 PO Box 63491 Colorado Springs CO 80962 Kirks Olds Secretary 5.0 X X 0 0 0 Ron Sanchez President 10.0 X X 0 0 0 Scott Douglas Vice President 5.0 X X 0 0 0 Benjamin Demblowski Board Member at Large 5.0 X 0 0 0 Douglas Feller Board Member at Large 5.0 X 0 0 0 Renato Cassula Board Member at Large/Operations Director 60.0 X 81250 0 0 81250 0 0 0 false false false 0 203604 203604 0 0 0 0 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 203607 0 0 3 99877 99877 0 0 81250 71500 9750 50 50 5256 5256 2300 0 2300 0 210 210 2205 2205 14308 14308 271 271 0 0 0 0 205727 185685 10292 9750 31498 21651 5725 6257 112 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 37223 28020 7083 0 0 0 7083 0 X 30140 24937 3083 30140 28020 37223 28020 -2120 0 X false false false X 148631 202737 179899 177244 203604 912115 0 0 148631 202737 179899 177244 203604 912115 32825 879290 33 36 9 4 3 85 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 912200 0 0.96392 0.98077 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true South America 0 0 Grantmaking 99877 South America 0 0 Program Services Travel / Rental/ Reimbursements/Compensation 85808 0 0 0 0 0 0 185685 0 185685 South America Ministry Program Support 99877 Wire Transfer 1 0 false false false false false false Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds The organization works in close collaboration with its partnering organization in Brazil.
