Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: Abundant Life Church of Greenville, SC, Inc. was formed in June 1982 as the result of three smaller churches coming together to form one body. In the early 1990's, a child development center was added. In 1994, a Christian school was also added. We have been working to build the Kingdom through each avenue since and reaching our community with the cause of Christ whether someone ever darkens the door of the sanctuary or not.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: Mission Statement is the following: "Sharing Hope...Changing Lives." Vision statement is the following: "To provide the highest quality of Christian services to children, adults and families in a caring culture of measurable excellence."

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: Our organization began in 1885. We are many ministries beating with one heart. The heart of Baptist Children's Homes beats with the hope of Jesus Christ--a hope that extends to the children, families and adults this ministry is privileged to serve. Today we are located in 36 communities across North Carolina, South Carolina and Guatemala. While our ministry and mission began with the care of orphans, we have broadened our programs. We include services for children and families dealing with issues of abuse, neglect, abandonment, those in crisis and transition. We also offer group homes and provide services for intellectual and developmentally disabled adults. In South Carolina we offer Christian adoption services statewide.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: Students come for education and life skills, they leave as responsible and productive citizens.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: Best Skills Academy was founded in 2019. The school was started to address a need in our community to help children that have challenges being successful in traditional, large school settings. Best helps students stay on track academically while meeting the social and emotional needs of the students. This is a startup school that has seen a growth in enrollment due to the needs of students in our community that are trying to stay on track through virtual learning. BEST Skills Academy provides a safe, in person environment to help students stay engaged in virtual learning. All development efforts are done by the staff and volunteers. This funding would help us connect and learn from other established organizations in our community. BEST could also use the funds to promote the school through social media and creating a updated brochure. BEST could utilize the training offered by Network for the Good to advance our mission. Currently, students that are living with parents or grandparents are relying on BEST to try and bring grades up that slipped before students enrolled in the school for academic support. Statistics show that children that qualify for free and reduced lunches have seen the greatest academic decline since the beginning of Covid. 75% of the students at BEST qualify for free and reduced lunch. These students are thriving in this supportive educational environment.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: We share the gospel by being an example of Christ. We not only teach students about academics, we are able to mentor and guide them through life. As we mentor them we talk about the importance of having a relationship with Christ.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: To offer a Christian, charitable and educational home, with love, training, understanding, and guidance to meet the spiritual, as well as physical needs of boys in need of assistance.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: Boys Farm is a Christian, charitable and educational children’s home. We have been working with boys from various parts of South Carolina in a residential setting for over 60 years. Boys Farm was founded in 1960 by Reverend and Mrs. W. D. Shealy, Jr. (Pop & Mama). Preparation for this work was begun many years before in Charleston, SC, where the Shealy's were owners of a large, successful ice cream business. When they felt called into Christian ministry, they sold their home and business and went off to prepare for the ministry. As the couple sought God's direction, He led them to establish a home for disadvantaged boys. They bought the current site with their own resources and began the work to which God had called them, provide a home for at-risk children. Our activities are centered around creating a family oriented home for at-risk children. Up to 8 children live in a house with a married christian couple. The house parents instill in the children good work ethic and citizenship and share the gospel through church worship and family worship. The children participate in daily chores in the house and outside to help maintain our campus. We stress the importance of good academic outcomes and the children have access to after school tutoring and a reading competition during the summer months to keep them on track academically. The children participate in weekly organized sports and exercise activities and help out with the summer gardens and farm animals. During the summer months the children participate in Christian summer camps in the mountains and the beach. We also have a strong focus on assisting the children as they turn 18 and prepare to live on their own. We have a structured program that provides shelter and support as children become adults and begin to learn to become independent.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: We seek to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in a multitude of ways. The houseparents are expected to exemplify Christ in their daily activities and share Christ as opportunities present themselves. Each of the houses attend weekly Sunday worship service at local churches as well as Wednesday youth Bible study. During the week, in the houses, the families participate in evening devotions and family worship. Children are encouraged to express and share their faith during these times of fellowship and worship.

We strive for every child to be nurtured in a welcoming, reliable, and Christ-centered home and be united with their family as a more physically, emotionally, and academically stable individual.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: We provide comprehensive care of orphans in a Christian environment. In keeping with our mission of “Providing help, a home and hope for children in need”, Calvary Home reaches these children using a two-fold strategy: (1) we meet the basic physical needs of children who have been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect and (2) we meet the emotional needs of these children who have endured difficult and harmful circumstances. Not only do we meet each child’s basic needs for clothing, food and shelter, but we also offer a variety of age-appropriate educational, social and spiritual opportunities based on a Christian framework. It is our desire at Calvary Home for Children to give each child in our care the full opportunity to reach his or her God-given potential.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: Calvary Homes does not just provide food, clothing, shelter and education to these vulnerable children and young people.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: Carol’s Hope was founded in 2014 to provide financial assistance and emotional support to as many families as possible who are battling childhood cancer.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: Carol's Hope for Childhood Cancer, Inc (CHFCC) is a registered 501(3)(c) non profit organization that raises money to help families that are battling and dealing with hardships of childhood cancer. It was founded by Carol Moeller in 2014. The majority of the funds are raised by operating four thrift stores located in Boiling Springs, Spartanburg, Easley, and Taylors, SC. Other sources of revenue are raised via fundraising events and activities, as well as traditional corporate and individual monetary solicitations. Future plans for CHFCC are to open more thrift stores throughout the upstate of South Carolina, and beyond possibly, and increase overall fundraising initiatives. CHFCC is surrounded by dedicated and compassionate employees and volunteers that have a passion for helping these cancer children and their families. A complete formal business plan deatiling the growth, expansion, and vision of CHFCC and its cause is available upon request.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: Carol Moeller, Founder & Executive Director of CHFCC was reading the book " A Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren in 2014 when she had an epiphany and enlightenment to become more proactive in sharing the gospel and good word of Jesus Christ. At the time she had a good friend whose child had recently been diagnosed with cancer. She saw firsthand the hardships this created for her friends family. Ordinary life suddenly became unordinary for her friend's family due to the financial impacts of cancer and also the emotional strain it inflicted on all members of the family. She decided to take action and do something about it. These two things, the book she was reading and her friends' life altering siuation, inspired her to do something good and positive in the world. CHFCC was born. A selfless act to help others in their time of need. From then on she has, and continues, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through her and her organizations acts of selflessness. CHFCC has helped numerous families by providing financial and emotional support to help them better cope with the hardships and uncertainties of dealing with a child that has cancer. Her acts of selflessness is her way of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. Oftentimes we worry about ourselves and our wants rather than wanting to give our time and help to others. Jesus taught us to humble ourselves and put others before oneself. As believers we must try to be a reflection of Jesus. Selflessness results in sacrificing for others and having more love for others, especially those ones in need. Carol Moeller and CHFCC spreads the word of gospel by sharing love for others and demonstrating sacrifice and selflessness for so many others to see. CHFCC is a shining star that represents teh gospel of Jesus Christ through its actions and its ministry.

Child Evangelism Fellowship's (CEF) mission is to share the "good news" of Jesus Christ with every child. CEF's primary ministry is in the public schools through the Good News Clubs, a Gospel driven after-school ministry for elementary age children. The Good News Club is led by volunteers from local churches who teach God's Word to the children during the school year. In addition to public elementary schools, Good News Clubs are also held in community facilities that offer after-school care.

CEF reaches children through summer Good News Clubs at daycares, recreational facilities, and in neighborhoods--anywhere there are children. Christian teens, who desire to make their summers count for Christ, work as missionaries and lead the summer Good News Club, which lasts an hour a day for one week.

Not all children can attend a Good News Club, but all children who have access to the internet can still participate online by going to www.worduptime.com. Children will hear life changing Bible lessons, memorize God's Word, plan an interactive review game to reinforce the truths of each lesson, and sing songs. All aspects of the Good News Club lead the children to Jesus Christ and teaches them how to grow in their relationship with Him and with others.

Christianity Explored is an evangelism and disicipleship ministry that was developed in the late 1990s under the ministry of the late Dr. John Stott out of All Souls Church, Langham Place, in central London, England.  It is now being used in more than 125 countries around the world, including in the US and Canada.  The U.S. office is in Greenville, SC.

Christianity Explored helps local churches equip their people to love, live, and tell the good news of Jesus. 

We believe the power is in the Word of God, so we help churches equip their people to open the text of the Bible to encourage unbelievers to discover the gospel as they look in the text for themselves.

We also believe the gospel is relational, so we help churches equip their people to share the Gospel out of relationships, letting unbelievers get a taste of Christian community.

Sharing the gospel this way is accessible; we understand that not everyone is a Gospel teacher or gifted evangelist, but everyone can be a Gospel sharer.

We introduce churches to a series of three evangelism/discipleship small group studies, and then we train and support church leaders in how to equip their people to effectively use these resources.  Our three series for adults are:  Christianity Explored (Seven weeks in the Gospel of Mark); Life Explored (Seven weeks in the overall storyline of the Bible as contrasted with human idolatry); and Discipleship Explored (Eight weeks in Philippians).  We also have resources for youth and children.  Other resources are being developed.

We have a guest website for unbelievers, www.christianityexplored.org, to which churches can point those who are seeking.

FACES of Total Victory is a non-profit, non-denominational ministry designed to make a difference in the lives of Female Athletes and Coaches Engaged in Sports. Through personal relationships with the coaches and athletes and surveys taken during our team Bible Studies, we identify issues and struggles they are facing and meet those needs in an uplifting and safe environment.

OUR VISION is to see Female Athletes and Coaches Engaged in Sports experience total victory in every area of their lives. “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57                                                        

OUR MISSION is to equip female coaches and athletes emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually by providing specific events and resources designed to meet those needs.

FACES of Total Victory is led by women who have a diverse and extensive background in women’s sports and a passion to see athletes and coaches experience this victory in all areas of their lives. The ministry is based on the model of Jesus in His ministry to women: Jesus valued women, always had a purpose, wanted to please the Father, spent time preparing for His ministry, loved and sought out non-believers and spent time with them, listened to their needs, and met immediate needs before beginning to address their spiritual needs in ways specific to each person.

FACES of Total Victory is designed to Educate, Encourage, Motivate, and Inspire. We achieve this goal by focusing on three main types of events:

We plan and provide Large Conferences for female athletes and coaches in three separate age divisions; Elementary School, Middle and High School, and College. These include age-appropriate breakout sessions led by professionals on topics including Self Esteem, Identity and Value, Social Media, Bullying, Peer Pressure, Anxiety, Depression, Suicide, Human Trafficking, Body Image, Eating Disorders, and Life After Sports. Our conference ends with a motivating and inspirational challenge from nationally recognized women in the sports world.

We provide Luncheons, Events, and Retreats specifically for female coaches to encourage and equip them as they lead and influence the girls they coach. This includes a “Moms Who Coach” support group.

We provide and lead Team Dynamics Development for individual teams, meeting with them and using biblical principles and resources to guide and encourage the teams.

We are very excited to be in the process of publishing the FACES of Total Victory Devotional Bible to give to all who participate in these events. This will be the first Devotional Bible with content included specifically for female athletes and coaches, as all the devotions are being written by women who competed at the professional, Olympic, or collegiate level. This will be a huge resource for the ministry, putting God’s word in the hands of literally thousands of girls and women.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: Jasmine Road’s (JR) mission is to offer women who are trapped in a cycle of sexual exploitation and addiction a path to freedom, a haven for healing, and the opportunity to flourish, leading to generational change and the betterment of our Greenville community.

JR’s transformational two-year rent-free program provides safe and supportive housing for residents to begin the process of healing from a lifetime of trauma and abuse, and the opportunity to forge new pathways of physical, emotional, spiritual, and economic stability and independence. Through a trauma-informed and individualized program, JR improves access to community services for a marginalized population and erases the barriers that keep women trapped in the vicious cycles of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, homelessness, addiction, poverty, and incarceration.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: Jasmine Road’s (JR) transformational two-year “housing-first” residential program serves to heal, empower, and employ adult female survivors of human trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. This population of women is vastly underserved, and JR is the only program in South Carolina that provides a proven, comprehensive long-term residential recovery program specifically designed to serve this population.

JR’s residential program provides women with an individualized care plan and free holistic restoration services (mental and physical healthcare and wellness, spiritual care, dental care, addiction recovery services, continuing education opportunities, vocational training and employment, financial sustainability, and necessary life skills) to empower residents to reintegrate back into society as contributing members. JR teams up with many community partners to deliver services and specific programming is facilitated by the JR staff. JR’s holistic approach to programming, combined with employment opportunities in several social enterprise businesses that teach residents transferable job skills and soft skills, helps to significantly reduce the likelihood that women would return to living life on the streets.

One of JR’s long-term goals is to bring hope, healing, and dignity to this forgotten population, empowering women to live into their God-given potential and find their purpose by supporting residents in maintaining sobriety, establishing healthy relationships, and helping program graduates earn a living wage and secure safe, long-term stable housing. The JR program sets the stage for women to discover their purpose, gifts, and talents and begin to thrive as healthy, vibrant community members.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: Jasmine Road (JR) was founded by two churches, Christ Church Episcopal and Triune Mercy Center in the Christian tradition and our mission is centered around the scripture found in Ephesians 3:17-19 where Paul writes, “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”

Cultivating community is the heart of what we do. Here, there is no "us and them”, it’s just us- and through that we see that real change is possible. We are caring for and loving women that society has seen as "throwaways", and through that love we bear witness to the healing power of community and belonging.

Jasmine Road’s many church partnerships are instrumental in helping to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Residents are involved in Sunday morning worship services at various partners such as Grace Church, Fellowship Greenville, Christ Church Episcopal, Triune Mercy Center, First Baptist Greenville, Re-Gen (Christ-centered 12-step addiction recovery program) at Grace Church and Celebrate Recovery. Through these partnership opportunities, residents can choose to develop and nurture their personal relationship with Jesus as well as find answers to many spiritual questions that have surfaced surrounding their experiences with complex trauma, trafficking, exploitation, addiction and abuse.

Our ministry allows us to live out the call of Jesus daily. We have the gift of working with each woman for two years, and we share the Gospel through our actions and loving without conditions or expectations, just as Christ has done for us. We address a holistic continuum of care in an individualized manner, including spiritual care.

Each woman’s faith journey is different, and some women have severe faith wounds and trauma caused by people in the church that may initially hinder their viewpoints on Jesus, the church, or Christianity. We walk alongside each woman on her healing journey and trust the Lord to bring healing in His perfect time.

Water is essential to human life.  It is the center of economic and social development and vital to maintain health, grow food, generate energy, manage the environment, and create jobs. Clean drinking water and sanitation are essential to the realization of all human rights. When people do not have access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, the impact on the population is devastating, leading to a global crisis. According to the World Economic Forum’s 2015 global risk report, the Global Water Crisis is now the number one global risk based on its impact on society.

Currently, 2.2 billion people around the world lack access to safe water. That’s one-third of the world’s population.  According to a recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), more than 263 million people spent over 30 minutes round trip collecting water from an unimproved source. An estimated 4.2 billion people live without adequate sanitation, and one person dies every 37 seconds from water-related illnesses.  Children are the most affected: an estimated 760,000 children under the age of five die each year from diarrheal diseases globally. Women and children spend hours walking an average of 3 miles each day collecting water that is contaminated and will likely make their families sick. The global water crisis is real and it is urgent.

Water Mission is a Christian engineering nonprofit that designs, builds, and implements safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) solutions for people in developing countries and disaster areas. Since 2001, Water Mission has used innovative technology and engineering expertise to provide access to safe water for more than 7 million people in 57 countries. Water Mission has over 400 staff members working around the world in permanent country programs located in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean.  Notably, Charity Navigator has awarded Water Mission its top four-star rating for 15 consecutive years, a distinction shared by only 1% of charities rated by the organization. 

Water Mission was founded in 2001 by George and Molly Greene, who at the time owned an environmental engineering and analytical firm. They decided to apply the same engineering discipline toward a non-profit endeavor focused on providing safe water and sanitation solutions for people in developing countries and disaster situations. 

Water Mission was born out of the need for safe water as a result of a disaster, responding in Honduras after Hurricane Mitch. Since then, we have provided relief following some of the world’s most devastating natural and humanitarian disasters, including most recently: Texas Arctic Storms; Earthquakes in Indonesia; Hurricanes Eta and Iota in Honduras; Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas; Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico; Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh; Cyclone Idai in Malawi and Mozambique; Earthquake and Tsunami in Indonesia; Refugees in Uganda and Tanzania; and many, many more.
