WE CONNECT SPONSORS WITH CHILDREN THROUGH CHRIST-BASED LIFE CENTERS. WITH SPONSORS AND LIFE CENTERS REMOVING BARRIERS, CHILDREN GROW SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY INTO THRIVING PRODUCTIVE ADULTS.THE BIBLICAL GOSPEL IS THE PRIMARY MESSAGE WE DELIVER TO UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN AND WE PROVIDE HOLISTIC CARE TO REMOVE ANY BARRIER TO FULLY HEARING AND UNDERSTANDING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST. WITH CHRIST AS THEIR CORNERSTONE, CHILDREN CAN SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND THROUGHOUT ALL AREAS OF THEIR LIVES. 0 0 A NOTE ABOUT 2021:THE PANDEMIC CONTINUED TO HAVE HUGE IMPACT ON OUR FINANCIALS IN 2021, WITH TWO SPECIFIC IMPACTS WE WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT. THE FIRST WAS THAT, AS IN 2020, IT CONTINUED TO BE DIFFICULT TO MOBILIZE FUNDING IN OUR FIELD PROGRAMS. SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES WERE CLOSED FOR LARGE CHUNKS OF THE YEAR AND FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR IN SOME AREAS. THEREFORE, WE ONCE AGAIN WERE HAMPERED IN OUR EFFORTS TO FUND SCHOOL FEES AND EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES, AS WELL AS TO FEED KIDS SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY AT LIFE CENTERS. OTHER EFFORTS WE REGULARLY ENGAGE IN SUCH AS WATER SYSTEMS AND SHELTER CONSTRUCTION WERE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MOBILIZE BECAUSE OF CONSTRAINTS WITHIN THE COUNTRIES DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS. (CONTINUED IN SCHEDULE O)ALL OF THIS MEANS THAT 2021 SAW US ONCE AGAIN STRUGGLING TO GET FUNDS OUT TO THE CHILDREN AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, FORCING US TO STOCKPILE DONATIONS FOR BRIGHTER DAYS. A SECOND MAJOR FINANCIAL IMPACT OCCURRED DUE TO A DECISION WE MADE TO SELL OUR OFFICE BUILDING. THE PANDEMIC HAD FORCED US ALL TO EXPERIENCE WORKING FROM HOME, AND MUCH TO OUR SURPRISE WE DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FIT FOR OUR ORGANIZATION. MANY EMPLOYEES THRIVED IN THE WFH SCENARIO, AND OUR OPERATIONS BECAME MORE EFFICIENT AND STREAMLINED. ALL THE WHILE OUR BUILDING WAS SITTING EMPTY WHILE WE CONTINUED TO MAKE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS. THEREFORE, WE MADE THE DECISION TO CUT OUR LOSSES AND SELL THE BUILDING MID-YEAR. IT WAS A HUGE BLESSING FOR US TO UNLOAD THE BURDEN OF THAT BUILDING. IT ALLOWED US TO FIND A SMALL, REASONABLY PRICED OFFICE LEASE THAT COULD ACCOMMODATE A FEW STAFF PLUS GROUP MEETINGS AND RELIEVED US OF THE MORTGAGE PAYMENT AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. HOWEVER, ON PAPER, THE SALE WAS A MAJOR LOSS, MOSTLY DUE TO THE BUILDING HAVING BEEN VALUED DURING A REAL ESTATE BOOM WHEN PRICES WERE AT THEIR HIGHEST. SO, WHILE WE ENDED UP IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE IN OUR MONTHLY BUDGET WITH EXTRA CASH IN OUR WHERE MOST NEEDED FUND, THE YEAR-END FINANCIALS SHOW A LARGE LOSS IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE CATEGORY, AFFECTING OUR PROGRAM VS. SUPPORT PERCENTAGES SIGNIFICANTLY. 239296 157366 THE LIFE CENTER - OUR CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM FOCUSES ON THE LIFE CENTER. BASED IN LOCAL CHURCHES, LIFE CENTERS ARE WHERE CHILDREN RECEIVE A CONSISTENTLY DELIVERED GOSPEL MESSAGE EVERY WEEKEND. A STRONG BIBLE CURRICULUM IS USED BY OUR TRAINED TEACHERS TO GUIDE CHILDREN THROUGH WHAT IT MEANS TO BE SAVED BY JESUS CHRIST. BIBLES ARE READILY AVAILABLE AT LIFE CENTER LOCATIONS, AND CHILDREN ARE ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR OWN COPIES OR USE THE PROVIDED COPIES. LIFE CENTER ACTIVITIES RUN FOR 3 HOURS AND INCLUDE A GROUP BIBLE LESSON, BIBLE MEMORIZATION EXERCISES, SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION, INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING, FOOD, CRAFTS, AND ORGANIZED GAMES. (CONTINUED IN SCHEDULE O)LIFE CENTER CHURCH PARTNERSHIPS ARE CHOSEN BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:> THE CHURCH AND PASTOR'S STATEMENT OF FAITH (SOF) ALIGNS WITH CW'S.> THE CHURCH AND PASTOR AFFIRM ALIGNMENT TO THE SOF ANNUALLY.> THE CHURCH AND PASTOR HAVE A COMMITMENT TO GOSPEL EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP.> THE PASTOR AND CHURCH LEADERSHIP ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENDORSE CW'S VISION FOR LCS, AND ARE WILLING TO GET INVOLVED TO MINISTER TO THE FAMILIES OF SPONSORED CHILDREN.> THERE IS A COMMITMENT TO A LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP.> THE PASTOR AND CHURCH LEADERSHIP EMBRACE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING AN LC IN THEIR CHURCH:> AN EXCELLENT EVANGELISTIC OPPORTUNITY.> A WAY FOR THE CHURCH TO BE "SALT AND LIGHT" TO THEIR COMMUNITY.> THE CHURCH IS SEEN AS HAVING AN IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY/NEIGHBORHOOD.> A WAY TO HELP SOME OF THEIR CONGREGATION'S FAMILIES, BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY.> AN OPPORTUNITY FOR VOLUNTEER SERVICE FOR THEIR MEMBERS.> A SHEPHERDING MINISTRY FOR PASTORS, LEADERS, AND FUTURE LEADERS.> AN ADDITIONAL DISCIPLESHIP OPPORTUNITY FOR SPONSORED CHILDREN.> A NETWORKING OPPORTUNITY WITH OTHER LIKE-MINDED PASTORS AND CHURCHES.> A TRAINING CENTER FOR LEADERS AND CONGREGATION ON MINISTRY TO CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES.> MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION ARE AVAILABLE TO VOLUNTEER. IN SERVING AT THE LC, THEY ARE MINISTERING ON BEHALF OF CW, UNDER THE OVERSIGHT OF THE CHURCH'S LEADERSHIP, AND UNTO THE LORD.> CHURCH VOLUNTEERS ARE LED BY THE LEAD-TEACHER EMPLOYED BY CW.> VOLUNTEERS ARE TRAINED AND FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES OF THE LC.CHILDREN MEET AT A SINGLE LIFE CENTER AND ARE TAUGHT BY ONE TEACHER WHO IS SUPPORTED BY TWO OR MORE LOCAL CHURCH VOLUNTEERS. STAFF OF CW MAKE MONTHLY OR QUARTERLY CHECKS ON THE LIFE CENTERS TO ENSURE THAT THE CURRICULUM IS BEING PRESENTED WELL, CHECK ON THE CHILDREN, AND HELP THE CHILDREN WRITE LETTERS TO THEIR SPONSORS. 2288787 1763638 HOLISTIC CARE - PHYSICAL BARRIERS CAN PREVENT CHILDREN FROM INTERNALIZING THE LIFESAVING MESSAGE OF JESUS. CW STRIVES TO REMOVE THE MOST BASIC PHYSICAL BARRIERS KIDS FACE BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, HEALTHY FOOD, CLOTHING, SHELTER, MEDICINE AND EDUCATION.WHENEVER POSSIBLE, WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL CHURCHES TO DELIVER RELIEF. IF ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER IS THE GREATEST NEED IN A COMMUNITY, CW WILL INSTALL A WATER CATCHMENT SYSTEM ON CHURCH PROPERTY WHERE WE OPERATE A LIFE CENTER. THE SYSTEM IS REPLENISHED DURING RAINY SEASONS AND SERVES THE CHURCH COMMUNITY WITH THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF RAINWATER. THE WATER IS FILTERED TO STRAIN AWAY DIRT AND DANGEROUS PATHOGENS. (CONTINUED IN SCHEDULE O)A CENTRALLY LOCATED WATER SYSTEM REMOVES THE NEED FOR CHILDREN TO WALK MILES TO COLLECT WATER FROM CONTAMINATED SOURCES. CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES STAY HEALTHY WHEN THEY CAN ACCESS CLEAN WATER FROM A CHURCH WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY.THE FAMILIES OF SPONSORED CHILDREN OFTEN DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES TO ADEQUATELY FEED THEMSELVES. KIDS COME TO THE LIFE CENTER HUNGRY AND IN NEED OF NUTRITIOUS FOOD. CW PREPARES AND SERVES FOOD TO THE KIDS AT THEIR LIFE CENTER EACH WEEKEND. OTHER CW FOOD PROGRAMS EXIST TO ENSURE THE MOST IMPOVERISHED FAMILIES HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.ACCESS TO EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR SPONSORED CHILDREN. CW PAYS A PORTION OF THE SCHOOL FEES CHARGED BY LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS SO KIDS CAN STAY ENROLLED.OTHER PROGRAMS HELP CW PROVIDE CHILDREN WITH ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE, CLOTHING AND SHELTER FOR THEIR FAMILIES. 2528083 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 30 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X X JENNIFER SMITH DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 3606472283 8334 GUIDE MERIDIAN LYNDEN WA 98264 WILLIAM A NIENHUIS CEO/PRESIDENT 60.00 X X 127475 0 3191 HOWARD LENNICK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF MCSORLEY CHAIRMAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN ARTMAN TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KARA MILLHOLLIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JUSTIN SCHOONOVER DIRECTOR AND SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 WILLIAM MILNE SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE THIESSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK CHESTNUT DIRECTOR AND CHAIRMAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK VANDER POL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STACEY GIBSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 127475 0 3191 1 0 0 0 0 3491611 3491611 6322 6322 1351520 1922560 -571040 -571040 -571040 2926893 0 0 -564718 1921004 1921004 130666 66639 64027 936300 385634 263633 287033 26971 10053 6969 9949 79262 34771 22175 22316 26977 26977 72243 1183 30300 40760 87325 3588 16635 67102 73131 14524 46521 12086 4736 2078 1453 1205 82745 36274 26098 20373 8974 2196 2755 4023 1517 1252 265 29203 14688 7061 7454 3162 3162 SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION S 47703 28129 1931 17643 EQUIPMENT EXPENSE 22268 7296 6986 7986 STATE REGISTRATION FEES 10640 10640 367 26 341 3565194 2528083 527935 509176 144317 158415 2211199 2373809 1622 14131 45753 19246 1889568 26507 6872 78507 25303 41368 4277259 2694359 35704 53727 171000 174000 971420 1178124 227727 X 1787450 1597695 1311685 868937 3099135 2466632 4277259 2694359 -638301 5798 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4537704 4125948 1174184 4066617 3491611 17396064 4537704 4125948 1174184 4066617 3491611 17396064 17396064 4802 17801 7261 15726 6322 51912 17447976 0.99700 0.99350 X 45753 19246 26507 26507 2932691 5798 5798 2926893 0 2926893 3565194 0 3565194 0 3565194 1 CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN 0 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATED IN REGION 165183 SOUTH ASIA 0 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATION IN REGION 182854 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 0 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATION IN REGION 1355275 SOUTH AMERICA 0 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATION IN REGION 176524 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 0 0 GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS LOCATION IN REGION 41168 0 0 0 0 0 0 1921004 0 1921004 CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN CHILD SPONSORSHIP, OTHER 165183 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER 0 EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC CHILD SPONSORSHIP, OTHER 41168 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER 0 SOUTH AMERICA FOOD DISTRIBTUION, CHILD SPONSORSHIP, LIFE CENTERS, OTHER 176524 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER 0 SOUTH ASIA FOOD DISTRIBTUION, CHILD SPONSORSHIP, LIFE CENTERS, OTHER 55879 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER 0 SOUTH ASIA CHILD SPONSORSHIP, OTHER 126975 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER 0 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA CHILD SPONSORSHIP, LIFE CENTERS, OTHER 571718 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER 0 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA FOOD DISTRIBUTION, CHILD SPONSORSHIP, LIFE CENTERS, OTHER 783557 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER 0 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 PART I, LINE 2: MANAGEMENT MONITORS THE USE OF GRANTS FUNDS THROUGH WEEKLY CALLS WITH U.S. AND FIELD STAFF IN EACH REGION, COLLABORATIVE DOCUMENTS THAT ALLOW THE ORGANIZATION AND FOREIGN AFFILIATES TO SHARE INFORMATION, MONITORING OF WEEKLY ATTENDANCE AT EACH LIFE CENTER, RECEIPT OF WEEKLY VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF PROJECTS, REVIEW PROCESS OF EACH PROJECT INCLUDING PROPOSALS, BUDGETS AND REVIEW OF ACTUAL EXPENDITURES, STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE FIELD AUDITORS AND FREQUENT REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RECORDS OF EACH FIELD OFFICE.
