FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

Our mission is to bring clean drinking water and the gospel of jesus christ to families worldwide in desperate need of both. We carry out this mission through short-term trips in latin america and partnerships with church planters reaching unreached people groups. Filter of hope exists to create socio-spiritual transformation for families living in severe poverty worldwide. This is done by providing clean drinking water through the distribution of household water filters and sharing the "living water" of jesus christ in partnership with local churches and ministries around the globe. The filter of hope ministry model allows families in desperate need to experience "health for today and hope for tomorrow"

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

Filter of hope relies on funding from individuals, businesses, churches and foundations to fulfill its mission. Filter of hope carries out its ministry through two primary strategies. First, the ministry mobilizes thousands of college students and church members each year from across the united states on short-term mission trips throughout latin america. With 30 established ministry bases, filter of hope partners with local churches to ensure long-term sustainability, follow-up, and discipleship for new believers. Second, filter of hope works with indigenous missionaries and church planters to bring clean water and the gospel to unreached people groups in africa, the middle east, and asia, reaching remote communities where most have never heard the name of jesus. Every water filter distribution is accompanied by a clear presentation of the gospel, forming an effective and compassionate evangelism strategy.

FIRST, THE MINISTRY MOBILIZES THOUSANDS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS AND CHURCH MEMBERS EACH YEAR FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ON SHORT-TERM MISSION TRIPS THROUGHOUT LATIN AMERICA.

SECOND, FILTER OF HOPE WORKS WITH INDIGENOUS MISSIONARIES AND CHURCH PLANTERS TO BRING CLEAN WATER AND THE GOSPEL TO UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS IN AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST, AND ASIA, REACHING REMOTE COMMUNITIES WHERE MOST HAVE NEVER HEARD THE NAME OF JESUS. EVERY WATER FILTER DISTRIBUTION IS ACCOMPANIED BY A CLEAR PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL, FORMING AN EFFECTIVE AND COMPASSIONATE EVANGELISM STRATEGY.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2FILTER OF HOPE RELIES ON FUNDING FROM INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, CHURCHES AND FOUNDATIONS TO FULFILL ITS MISSION. FILTER OF HOPE CARRIES OUT ITS MINISTRY THROUGH TWO PRIMARY STRATEGIES. FIRST, THE MINISTRY MOBILIZES THOUSANDS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS AND CHURCH MEMBERS EACH YEAR FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ON SHORT-TERM MISSION TRIPS THROUGHOUT LATIN AMERICA. WITH 30 ESTABLISHED MINISTRY BASES, FILTER OF HOPE PARTNERS WITH LOCAL CHURCHES TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY, FOLLOW-UP, AND DISCIPLESHIP FOR NEW BELIEVERS. SECOND, FILTER OF HOPE WORKS WITH INDIGENOUS MISSIONARIES AND CHURCH PLANTERS TO BRING CLEAN WATER AND THE GOSPEL TO UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS IN AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST, AND ASIA, REACHING REMOTE COMMUNITIES WHERE MOST HAVE NEVER HEARD THE NAME OF JESUS. EVERY WATER FILTER DISTRIBUTION IS ACCOMPANIED BY A CLEAR PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL, FORMING AN EFFECTIVE AND COMPASSIONATE EVANGELISM STRATEGY.
