Our humanitarian focus is to provide a place of safety, offer educational opportunities, and provide life skills training. 0 0 238235 58298 270427 Through our grants, about 100 children were ministered to weekly through church services. Bible and life-skills training was held weekly with a group of about 35 teenagers. Of those teenagers, about 12 also committed to more intensive monthly training in how to teach children. These 12 are also leaders for the weekly children's services. Six training workshops were held in south Africa and one in Zimbabwe to teach approximately 700 local volunteers how to teach children. We facilitated 30 outreaches for the children of the respective local communities reaching approximately 1500 children with biblical teaching, connecting them with the local churches, and giving them small Bibles. Additionally, we held 2 workshops training about 60 local volunteers how to include and teach children with disabilities and one Pastors Conference with about 100 local pastors being coached in leadership and biblical instruction. We hosted 3 teams of American volunteers. They assisted with outreaches, visited members of our own local church in a squatters' settlement, and worked on a variety of maintenance and gardening projects. During 2025, we ran a pilot after school care program providing 20 children each day with after-school homework help, life skill training, food, and a safe place to play. In addition, we have applied to the Department of Basic Education to register Bridge of Hope Preschool and have continued to press the Department of Social Development to register Bridge of Hope Children's Home so that we will be able to admit and care for abandoned and orphaned children. 0 0 0 238235 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 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 0 1 1 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 IL X Rachel Majors 3097069698 2330 Robin Lane Elgin IL 60123 Jeff Hunt President 40 0 X X 37470 0 0 Abby Hunt Vice President 40 0 X X 37470 0 0 Barry Clair Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Vern Hunt Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Sonya Jones Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jeni Johnson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Larry Sauter Chairman 10 0 X X 0 0 0 Ellliot Anderson Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Rachel Majors Treasurer 4 0 X X 0 0 0 Milissa Nieman Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Andy Buehler Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 74940 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 270427 0 270427 0 2513 2513 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 272940 2513 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 58298 58298 79096 59322 7910 11864 5733 4300 573 860 716 0 716 0 87700 87700 0 0 3986 1464 2522 0 2173 515 1658 0 375 375 22398 19494 1162 1742 603 301 302 Ministry Supplies 2909 2909 0 0 Team Supplies 3484 3484 0 0 Fundraising Expense 251 0 0 251 Repairs and Maintenance 73 73 0 0 267795 238235 14843 14717 51406 39582 93122 109131 167 167 144695 148880 4730 3770 4730 3770 X 139965 145110 0 0 139965 145110 144695 148880 5145 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 250072 156338 270859 225844 270427 1173540 250072 156338 270859 225844 270427 1173540 1173540 428 457 5048 2513 8446 0 0 0 0 0 1181986 0.99285 0.99400 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 2 Grantmaking Child/youth services 228090 0 2 228090 Sub-Saharan Africa Child and youth services 58298 Wire 0 FMV 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 All grant requests are reviewed and approved by the Board.
