We come alongside and support local churches that disciple their people, evangelize their communities, and go on mission. (Matt. 12:21, Matt. 25:40, 1 Thess. 2:8, 1 Pet. 1:13) We equip men, women, and children with a Christ-centered education, training, biblical resources, and through community health initiatives. (Eph. 4:12, Heb. 13:20-21) We empower the saints to commit their whole selves-their time, talents and skills, knowledge, resources and gifts-towards fulfilling Gods purpose for their lives.

The Education Program is central to our mission, providing vulnerable children with a Christ-centered education that equips them academically and spiritually. In 2024, we supported 403 students across our Oikos (Bukabwa) and Amani (Kome Island) schools, emphasizing holistic development and academic readiness. National Exams: This year, 76 fourth-grade students from Amani School participated in national exams for the first time, a critical milestone in the Tanzanian education system. These exams assess academic readiness and determine eligibility for further education, opening doors to scholarships and long-term career opportunities. For our students from underserved communities, success in these exams signifies a step toward breaking cycles of poverty and fostering leadership potential. Results from the National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) are expected in December. Remedial Classes: Recognizing learning gaps in foundational skills like reading, writing, and arithmetic, we introduced targeted remedial classes to support struggling students. This initiative builds essential skills, enhances confidence, and promotes long-term success, contributing to reduced dropout rates and improved exam readiness. Curriculum Transition: In response to the Tanzanian governments new primary curriculum, which reduces grades from seven to six, we trained teachers, adapted lesson plans, and secured updated materials. This proactive approach has enabled our schools to maintain educational quality while aligning with national standards. Strategic Alignment: These educational milestones in 2024 have strengthened our ability to provide high-quality, relevant education that builds a solid academic and spiritual foundation, preparing students to become future leaders in their communities. 225791 108063 0 Spiritual Support Program: Spreading Light in Dark Places. In 2024, our Spiritual Support Program strengthened pastoral leadership, increased accessibility to the Bible, and offered holistic care to communities in spiritually dark regions. These initiatives are vital to our mission of sharing the hope of Jesus. Oral Bible Translation (OBT) Initiative: In January, we launched the OBT project to translate the Bible from Swahili into Kabwa. A team of 7 local staff (6 translators from Bukabwa and a project manager in Musoma), supported by a consultant from Spoken Worldwide Ministry, completed translations of Jonah, Ruth, and Zephaniah, with work underway on Genesis. The translation process includes cultural adaptation and community engagement to ensure accuracy and resonance. Medical Mission: In June, we conducted a medical mission on Kome Island, providing healthcare to over 467 children and parents and sharing the gospel. This outreach led to 384 individuals following Christ, highlighting our commitment to integrating physical and spiritual care. Pastoral Leadership Training: We continued to equip 32 pastors across Kome Island and Bukabwa with skills to lead their congregations in spiritual and practical development, fostering sustainable transformation within their communities. Strategic Alignment: Through the Spiritual Support Program, we strengthened local faith communities, enhanced accessibility to Scripture, and met practical needs, laying a foundation for lasting spiritual growth and resilience. 173982 39440 0 Community Transformation Program: Empowering Families for Self-Sufficiency. The Community Transformation Program expanded its reach in 2024, offering practical training to families and church leaders in Kome Island and Bukabwa. This year, we supported 326 households and 2,774 individuals, equipping 32 church leaders with sustainable skills to promote community self-sufficiency and resilience. Empowering Local Leaders: Pastor Yohanas journey demonstrates the impact of our training. Once limited by the communitys needs, he now leads a church that addresses both spiritual and practical challenges, helping families to thrive. His church exemplifies how faith and community development can work together. Sustainable Livelihoods: Through our training, individuals like Mama Moses and Lucas Matiku have learned sustainable agriculture techniques and financial management skills. Mama Moses, a widow and small-scale farmer, increased her crop yield, allowing her to feed her family and sell surplus produce for income. Lucas enhanced his farming practices, moving toward self-sufficiency and creating a path for future investments. Strategic Alignment: This years accomplishments in community transformation demonstrate our commitment to fostering independence and self-sufficiency, laying a foundation for generational growth and resilience in local families and leaders. 812924 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false true true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 6 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false false false false X Yusuph Emmanuel 2542779200 7616 LBJ Freesay Suite 700 Dallas TX 75251 Yusuph Emmanuel President & Founder 50.00 X X 57641 0 41793 Vic Henry Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Katie Emmanuel Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Tara Rosema Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Amy Howe Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brent Haney Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Wetzel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paula Davis Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 57641 0 41793 0 false false false 0 988551 988551 7580 0 7580 996131 0 0 7580 419884 419884 99434 89490 4972 4972 105790 94991 3714 7085 28776 22610 5239 927 8311 7441 361 509 5074 0 5074 0 35070 35070 34688 21880 963 11845 2102 0 266 1836 61010 36412 7857 16741 32212 22788 9424 0 10283 0 8278 2005 97648 96428 11 1209 1510 0 1510 0 3005 0 2871 134 Training and development 1000 1000 0 0 ECFA membership fee 1125 0 1125 0 946922 812924 51665 82333 220835 135422 150652 263232 4734 2983 1518 22650 1510 21140 85250 376221 509545 1548 413 85250 1548 85663 X 246648 247858 128025 176024 374673 423882 376221 509545 49209 X true X false false false X 0 455053 435093 883792 908436 988551 3670925 0 0 455053 435093 883792 908436 988551 3670925 721213 2949712 326 8 643 7580 8557 0 125 1900 2025 3681507 0 0.80120 0.83960 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Gross income from fundraising events Description: Credit card credit 2020: 125.
