WE PRIMARILY FOCUS ON MOUNTAINOUS HIGHLANDS AND THE SWAMPY WATERWAYS OF RIO DULCE IN GUATEMALA, CENTRAL AMERICA. false false 31090 EVERY YEAR WE PROVIDE MEDICAL AND DENTAL OUTREACHES TO ALL OF THE VILLAGES WE WORK IN. THESE VILLAGES INCLUDE; PUNTA DE COCOLI, AGUA FRIA DE VOCAN, MATASANO, VOLCAN, CERRO PELON, GUALLAVIAS, EL PARAISO, SIMARON & CASTULO. WE HAVE PORTABLE DENTAL UNITS THAT ALLOW US TO DO FILLINGS, EXTRACTIONS AND EVEN TAKE IMPRESSIONS TO REPLACE THE EXTRACTED TEETH WE REMOVE. DUE TO THESE OUTREACHES WE ARE STOPPING TOOTH DECAY AS WELL AS ALL TYPES OF INFECTION SYSTEMICALLY THAT COME ALONG WITH POOR DENTAL CARE. THEIR ENTIRE BEING FEELS BETTER FROM DENTAL CARE. WE ALSO INCLUDE SCALING AND ULTRA- SOUND CLEANING AT THE SAME TIME. WE ARE BUILDING A FACILITY CALLED THE NUTRITION CENTER TO ACCOMMODATE THE SEVERE MAL-NOURISHED MOTHERS AND CHILDREN FROM THESE VILLAGES. THIS HOUSE PROVIDES ACCOMMODATIONS THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO SPEND THE TIME NEEDED TO GET MEDICAL ATTENTION FROM THE LOCAL HOSPITALS AND DOCTORS AND BUILD UP THEIR HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL LEVEL TO A SATISFACTORY CONDITION. THE CENTERS MAIN GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE CARE THEY NEED IN ORDER TO RID THEIR BODIES OF THESE ISSUES AND RE-BUILD THEIR DEFENSE MECHANISMS BEFORE RETURNING TO THEIR VILLAGES. WE WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS BY PROVIDING THEM A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, NUTRITIONAL MEALS, SUPPLEMENTS AS WELL AS THE MANY ADDITIONAL MEDICINES AND TREATMENTS THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE DOCTORS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. WE CONSTANTLY MONITOR HEALTH AND NUTRITION LEVELS DUE TO THE FACT THAT A LARGE PORTION ARE BELOW THE AVERAGE WEIGHT AND SIZE CHARTS. CONSEQUENTLY, WE DO AGRICULTURE PROJECTS TO INCREASE THEIR INTAKE OF HEALTHY FOOD AS WELL AS HELP THEM TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES. SO MANY CASES ARE NOT TREATABLE UNTIL THEIR GENERAL HEALTH IS GREATLY IMPROVED, I.E. OPERATIONS, NEWBORN DELIVERY. THEY LIVE IN A CONSTANT BATTLE AGAINST INTESTINAL PARASITES, I.E. AMOEBA & WORMS THAT ROB THEM OF WHAT LITTLE NUTRITIONAL VALUE THEIR LIMITED FOOD SUPPLY PROVIDES. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THEY OFTEN HAVE TO COOK OVER OPEN FIRE WHICH CAUSES THEM TO SUFFER FROM SMOKE INHALATION ISSUES AND PNEUMONIA ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALL OF THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE DEALT WITH BEFORE EXTENSIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION CAN BE EFFECTIVE. GENERAL HEALTH ISSUES LIKE PARASITES AND AMOEBAS ARE ADDRESSED THROUGH POTABLE WATER PROJECTS AND HOUSING PROJECTS. OUR FEEDING PROGRAMS HELP THE CHILDREN AND ELDERLY SURVIVE. 56935 22 STUDENTS STUDYING IN THE ZACAPA DORM ALL YEAR GRADUATED AND ARE CONTINUING THEIR STUDIES. A FEW OF THEM WILL NOT COME BACK BECAUSE THEY HAVE REACHED THEIR HIGHEST LEVEL OF EDUCATION NEEDED FOR A GOOD JOB AND HAVE OPTED TO BEGIN THEIR WORKING CAREER. WE ALSO HAVE 5 NEW STUDENTS FROM THE MOUNTAIN VILLAGES THAT HAVE INITIATED THEIR STUDIES. THIS IS LIFE CHANGING BECAUSE NONE OF THESE YOUNG ADULTS HAVE ANY PARENTS OR SIBLINGS WHO HAVE CONTINUED PAST 6 GRADE. MANY OF THOSE WHO HAVE GRADUATED AS TEACHERS ARE NOW IN THE MOUNTAIN VILLAGES PLACED BY THE GOVERNMENT AS TEACHERS OF THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS. OUR DESIRE IS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY THROUGH EDUCATION. WE PROVIDE SHELTER, FOOD, CLOTHING, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, TRANSPORTATION AND MONTHLY DUES REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE SCHOOLS IN ZACAPA. 88939 THE VILLAGES HAVE CONTINUED SUPPORT BY OUR LOCAL PASTORS WHO SHARE THEIR FAITH BY TEACHING THE FAMILIES ABOUT THE SAVING GRACE OF GOD OFFERED THROUGH THE BIBLE. THE PASTORS ALSO FOCUS ON THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS BY MONITORING THEIR HEALTH. THEY LOCATE AND IDENTIFY VILLAGES THAT ARE IN DIRE NEED OF SAFE DRINKING WATER, ROADS, AND OTHER NEEDS SO THAT WE CAN BEGIN PROVIDING ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER AND OTHER SERVICES. THE PASTORS ARE TRAINING LEADERS AND TAKING THE GOSPEL TO NEW VILLAGES SO THAT THEY MAY SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND BE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD TO SHINE BEFORE OTHERS, THAT THEY MAY SEE THE GOOD DEEDS WHICH GLORIFY THE FATHER IN HEAVEN. 169918 8145 OUR SUPPORT OF SCHOOLS SUCH AS MATASANO AND PINALITO IMPROVES ATTENDANCE AS THEY CONTINUE TO RECEIVE NUTRITIONAL MEALS. FAMILIES ARE OFTEN FACED WITH THE CHOICE OF PLACING THEIR CHILDREN WORKING IN FIELDS OVER EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. TO HELP THE FAMILIES TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES WE TEACH THEM SUSTAINABLE FARMING OF COFFEE BEANS WHILE PROVIDING THEM TRAINING ON HOW TO SELL THEIR PRODUCTS. NUTRITION TO THE SCHOOL CONSISTS OF DELIVERING TRUCKLOADS OF BEANS, CORN, RICE, AND MAY OTHER NUTRITIONAL FOOD AND DRINKS TO ALL VILLAGES. WE ARE SAVING LIVES AND REDUCING THE SUFFERING OF SO MANY PEOPLE LIVING BELOW POVERTY LEVEL. PROVIDING NUTRITION IS KEY TO OUR EFFORTS TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH THEM. 169918 8145 346882 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 2 true true true true GT false false false false false false X 8 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false true true false FL X JOHN MICHAEL BEENE 4075746253 3105 RIACHUELO LANE KISSIMMEE FL 34744 KAYLA PHILLIPS DIRECTOR 40.00 X 0 0 0 PAMELA BIDDLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DR JAMES MCHENRY SECRETARY 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON TAMARAS TITLE ADVISO 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIM MCHENRY ASST TREASUR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROXANNE T BEENE VICE PRESIDE 40.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL JARED PHILLIPS PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 24000 0 0 24000 false false false 435006 435006 REIMBURSEMENTS 4089 4089 COFFEE SALES 110000 4056 4056 8145 1406 1406 444557 4089 4056 1406 46721 31591 11169 3961 9566 8609 957 4321 4321 30442 27398 3044 2250 2250 10645 9049 1064 532 43456 36936 4346 2174 8442 7176 844 422 90 81 9 10633 10633 2787 2369 279 139 HOUSING AID 85041 85041 AGRICULTURAL 76351 76351 EDUCATIONAL MINISTRIES 53036 53036 MEDICAL AND HUMANITARIAN 4924 4924 388705 346882 34595 7228 16782 20168 1783 969552 173671 747394 795881 49517 51186 813693 869018 814 785 21783 21285 22597 22070 X 791096 846948 791096 846948 813693 869018 55852 X false false X 417795 373435 403843 336298 435006 1966377 417795 373435 403843 336298 435006 1966377 1966377 7926 9328 1396 9310 1406 29366 15990 3056 19046 2014789 5613 0.97600 0.97730 X 50000 50000 717727 201825 173671 745881 795881 false GUATEMALA 1 1 PROGRAM SERVICES MEDICAL AID 4924 GUATEMALA 1 1 PROGRAM SERVICES EDUCATIONAL 53036 GUATEMALA 1 1 PROGRAM SERVICES HOUSING AND CONST. 85041 GUATEMALA 1 1 PROGRAM SERVICES DEVELOPMENT 76351 4 4 4 4 219352 219352 false false false false false false SCHEDULE F, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 3 GUATEMALA 4,924 0 GUATEMALA 53,036 0 GUATEMALA 85,041 0 GUATEMALA 76,351 0 JOHN M BEENE FIELD OPERATOR TRAVEL, MEALS, AUTO true JOHN M BEENE PRESIDENT TO PAY OPERATING EXPENSES X 21285 false true false 21285 FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FAITH IN ACTION IS A 501(C)(3) CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION DESIGNED TO TARGET ISOLATED, REMOTE PEOPLE; WHO HAVE BECOME LOST AND STAGNANT WITHIN THEIR DEVELOPING COUNTRY AND PROVIDE THEM WITH HUMANITARIAN RELIEF AND CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
