MFI ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION THROUGH EDUCATION, TRAINING, RESEARCH AND NON-PARTISAN VOTER PARTICIPATION ACTIVITIES, TRAINING AND ENCOURAGING CHURCHES AND INDIVIDUALS TO ENGAGE IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE WITH A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW AS "SALT AND "LIGHT" (MATTHEW 5:16-16). MFI ADDRESSES THE CIVIC, MORAL, ECONOMIC, LEGAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES THAT INFLUENCE THE FAMILY IN THE PUBLIC AREA. 0 0 1240520 56503 0 MINNESOTA FAMILY INSTITUTE (MFI) ISSUED INFORMATIONAL UPDATES AND COMMENTARIES SENT OUT TO THOUSANDS OF HOMES AND BUSINESSES VIA EMAIL AND DIRECT MAIL. THESE COMMUNICATIONS FEATURE INSIDE INFORMATION ON LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY DURING THE SESSIONS, CULTURAL ANALYSIS AND INSIGHTFUL PRO-FAMILY PERSPECTIVE ON NEWS AND ISSUES IMPACTING THE FAMILY IN THE PUBLIC ARENA FROM A CHRISTIAN, BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW PERSPECTIVE. MFI PARTNERED WITH HUNDREDS OF CHURCHES AROUND THE STATE THROUGH OUR CHURCH AMBASSADOR NETWORK TO EQUIP PASTORS AND CONGREGANTS WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP ON ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE FAMILY IN THE PUBLIC ARENA, IN ORDER TO ENGAGE AS A WINSOME, "SALT AND LIGHT" INFLUENCE IN ELECTIONS AND POLICY. MFI FURTHER EQUIPPED PASTORS WITH HISTORICAL AND BIBLICAL INFORMATION ON THEIR KEY ROLE AS MORAL AND SPIRITUAL LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND ENGAGED THEM WITH LEGISLATORS IN OBEDIENCE TO THE COMMAND OF 1 TIMOTHY 2:1-4, TO PRAY FOR LEADERS AND ALL WHO ARE IN AUTHORITY. THESE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN A TREMENDOUS ENCOURAGEMENT TO BOTH PASTORS AND LEGISLATORS.THE UPDATED VERSION OF MFI'S ACCLAIMED PARENT RESOURCE GUIDE CONTINUED EDUCATING AND EQUIPPING PARENTS SO THEY CAN ENGAGE POSITIVELY AND CONSTRUCTIVELY WITH THEIR CHILD'S SCHOOL OFFICIALS REGARDING THE TRANSGENDER TREND, BOTH NATIONALLY IN THE U.S. AND INTERNATIONALLY, WHERE IT HAS BEEN TRANSLATED AND ADAPTED FOR USE IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THE PARENT RESOURCE GUIDE CLARIFIES CONFUSING TERMINOLOGY, DESCRIBES THE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSGENDER TREND, DEBUNKS POPULAR MYTHS WITH SCIENCE AND LEGAL FACTS, AND OFFERS A WEALTH OF CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS FOR PARENTS WHO WANT TO WORK WITH THEIR SCHOOLS TO FOSTER A GENUINELY INCLUSIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE BASED ON TRUE COMPASSION.MFI DEFENDED BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTY AND JUSTICE IN THE COURTS THROUGH ITS LEGAL ARM, TRUE NORTH LEGAL, AND AN ALLIED NETWORK OF CHRISTIAN ATTORNEYS TRAINED TO COUNTER GROUPS LIKE THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION AND OTHERS TRYING TO SILENCE CHRISTIANS IN THE PUBLIC ARENA OR RESTRICT FREE EXERCISE OF THEIR FAITH IN VIOLATION OF THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS, AND EQUIPPED PARENTS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND CANDIDATES, CHURCHES AND CHRISTIAN CITIZENS TO FULLY EXERCISE THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. THIS HAS PROVED ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR DEFENDING INDIVIDUALS AGAINST RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION WITH RESPECT TO VACCINE MANDATES AND PARENTS RIGHTS TO DIRECT THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IN PAST YEARS, MFI HAS PUBLISHED COUNTLESS VOTER GUIDES, A NON-PARTISAN COMPARISON OF CANDIDATES' VOTING RECORDS AND POSITIONS ON ISSUES, TO EDUCATE MINNESOTANS PRIOR TO ELECTIONS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO APPLY BIBLICAL CRITERIA TO THEIR SELECTION OF POLITICAL LEADERS TO REBUILD A FOUNDATION OF GODLY LEADERSHIP IN THEIR STATE. OUR INFLUENCE HAS GROWN WITH OUR NUMBERS AS MORE AND MORE MINNESOTANS HAVE BECOME AWARE OF MFI AND HAVE LEARNED TO TRUST THE INFORMATION AND INSIGHTFUL ANALYSIS MFI PROVIDES. 1240520 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN X X JEFF EVANS 6127898811 525 PARK STREET 460 SAINT PAUL MN 55103 PASTOR JIM ANDERSON CHAIR 0.50 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ARNIE ABENS VICE CHAIR 0.50 1.00 X X 0 0 0 EVAN WILSON SECRETARY 0.25 0.50 X X 0 0 0 JONATHAN BAKEWICZ DIRECTOR 0.25 0.50 X 0 0 0 DAVE EATON DIRECTOR 0.25 0.50 X 0 0 0 JEFF EVANS PRESIDENT 20.00 40.00 X 0 73560 50533 JOHN HELMBERGER EX-OFFICIO/TREASURER 20.00 40.00 X 0 154820 12898 0 228380 63431 0 0 1 0 0 420532 1312998 1733530 10984 10984 17690 420532 144657 -126967 -126967 1617547 0 0 -115983 56003 56003 500 500 247502 169614 63242 14646 654960 611620 36864 6476 58666 56330 1632 704 51636 42467 8462 707 11723 11723 10152 10152 130206 123411 3013 3782 39083 32252 4430 2401 65020 49102 14561 1357 26934 26556 104 274 13799 11758 1825 216 EQUIPMENT 36848 31738 4491 619 OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE 35733 29169 5970 594 1438765 1240520 166469 31776 X 198440 188823 0 9617 404676 3619 620445 15500 0 125000 125000 1520 1520 546696 750584 79358 44695 438162 497931 517520 542626 X 29176 207958 29176 207958 546696 750584 178782 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 957838 1046239 1480581 1562507 1733530 6780695 957838 1046239 1480581 1562507 1733530 6780695 3010461 3770234 4668 8781 5600 3622 10984 33655 238 300 1546 2084 6816434 101336 0.55310 0.59450 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2019 AMOUNT: $ 238. 2020 AMOUNT: $ 300. 2021 AMOUNT: $ 1,546.
