CHILDREN LIVE IN FAMILY-STYLE HOMES WHERE THEY RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS MEALS, HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, COUNSELING, AND SPIRITUAL DISCIPLESHIP. THE REFUGE SEEKS TO PREPARE EACH CHILD FOR A PRODUCTIVE, INDEPENDENT ADULTHOOD WHILE PROVIDING THE LOVE, STABILITY, AND OPPORTUNITIES EVERY CHILD DESERVES. 2711879 267672 THE HACIENDA SERVES AS MISSION LAZARUS' PRIMARY MINISTRY CAMPUS IN HONDURAS. FROM THIS LOCATION, THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES ITS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, WAREHOUSE, PRIVATE SCHOOL, VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS, MEDICAL CLINIC, COFFEE FARM, GUEST LODGE, RESTAURANT, AND OTHER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES. THESE MINISTRIES WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL POVERTY BY PROVIDING EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, VOCATIONAL TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT, AND CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN HONDURAS. 169493 MISSION LAZARUS OPERATES CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS IN BOTH HONDURAS AND HAITI THAT PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION TO CHILDREN LIVING IN SOME OF THE REGION'S MOST IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION TO ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION, STUDENTS RECEIVE NUTRITIOUS MEALS, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION IN A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT. FOR MANY STUDENTS, THE MEALS PROVIDED AT SCHOOL REPRESENT THE MOST RELIABLE SOURCE OF DAILY NUTRITION, WHILE THE EDUCATION THEY RECEIVE CREATES OPPORTUNITIES TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY.IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO EXPAND THE "OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES" DESCRIPTION (OR INCLUDE THIS LANGUAGE IN SCHEDULE O, IF THAT IS THE APPROPRIATE LOCATION) TO BETTER REPRESENT THE FULL SCOPE OF OUR MINISTRY. I WOULD SUGGEST SOMETHING ALONG THESE LINES:OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES INCLUDE PRIMARY HEALTHCARE, MOBILE MEDICAL CLINICS, CHURCH PLANTING AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION THROUGH HOUSES OF PEACE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES, AGRICULTURAL TRAINING, COFFEE PRODUCTION, ARTISAN ENTERPRISES, VOCATIONAL EDUCATION, DISASTER RESPONSE, HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS IN HONDURAS AND HAITI. 3423519 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 9 0 5 1 0 1 OC 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 TN TX X JARROD BROWN 6159438895 2270 HIGHWAY 230 WEST NUNLEY TN 37137 JARROD W BROWN CEO/PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 170500 0 18000 DAVID GIBBS CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY COOPER TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CAROL PITMAN SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MATT MORROW DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RALEIGH JENKINS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRANDON BARNHOLT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RICK LYTEL DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHNNY GLENN PATTERSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY CROCKETT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 GARRY BRANTLEY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LOUIS DORVILIER COO 40.00 X 68155 0 18000 238655 0 36000 1 0 1 0 BLOMSTROM CASKEY HARRINGTON CPA PLLC 3623 ARBOR POINT CT KATY TX 77450 ACCOUNTING SERVICES 108000 1 1034066 2739589 3773655 POSADA/TRUCK INCOME 493000 267672 267672 SPECIAL CASES 900099 130254 130254 397926 24935 24935 298795 1034066 298795 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 218090 218090 WAREHOUSE RENTAL 493000 19148 19148 237238 4433754 635164 0 24935 X 238655 214789 23866 1282411 1234110 48301 60854 60854 42460 2536 39924 41080 34231 6849 132990 132661 329 127069 69131 57938 6960 6960 35983 10156 4446 21381 58805 58805 94114 94114 305386 305386 108274 108274 FOOD 257228 257228 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES 174516 131473 36534 6509 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 126446 126446 MEDICAL FEES 110749 110749 514975 472576 42399 3718955 3423519 195799 99637 1189226 1416115 632852 1013218 107491 125036 2584 60068 6013215 2863319 3139983 3149896 435791 589479 1079186 1056649 6587113 7410461 78371 53930 0 22551 78371 76481 X 5333814 6507158 1174928 826822 6508742 7333980 6587113 7410461 714799 110439 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2816272 2379443 2356706 3059959 3773655 14386035 2816272 2379443 2356706 3059959 3773655 14386035 1630591 12755444 32400 32161 51945 41526 24935 182967 18487 204394 261875 218131 237238 940125 15509127 874388 0.82240 0.85470 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1174928 666892 10133 1025131 826822 613056 616232 54360 1174928 328743 388241 103928 613056 328743 328743 503424 10000 18743 203424 328743 0.30567 0.69433 0 0 686598 686598 3926089 2023140 1902949 1067907 840179 227728 332621 332621 3149896 ANIMALS AND CROPS 29415 INVESTMENT IN LAZARUS GROUP 908583 SECURITY DEPOSITS 5000 DUE FROM LAZAROUS GROUP 113651 1056649 DUE TO SAN LAZARO COFFEE 22551 22551 X 4544193 110439 110439 4433754 0 4433754 3718955 0 3718955 0 3718955 PART V, LINE 4: 2/3 OF THE ENDOWMENT PROCEEDS THAT ARE RELEASED FOR SPENDING SHALL BE USED TO FUND THE ONGOING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM SERVICES AND 1/3 OF THE PROCEEDS THAT ARE RELEASED FOR SPENDING SHALL BE USED TO FUND EITHER PROGRAM SERVICES OR ONGOING ADMINISTRATIVE COST.
