Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.”

Employee deferrals to qualified retirement plans are normally captured in box 5, not box 1 of Form W-2. For reporting purposes we have included the ministers retirement plan deferrals in Part VIII, column F.”

“In 2022 we continued our Open the Gates campaign to raise 7 million dollars and we have raised over 5.2 million toward that goal. By the end of the year we had 88 Gospel Justice Centers at some stage of opening/operating in 15 states. 21 of these were new in 2023. We saw a 29 increase in volunteer attorneys serving 216 and a 108 increase in the value of services donated 1,202,179.53. 891 trained volunteers served 2,238 client appointments with 94 of those clients being highly satisfied with the legal help received and 94 reporting experiencing a deeper sense of Gods love. We saw an overall increase of 81 in professional services donated by volunteers 2,529,505.95. Nine of the new Gospel Justice Centers that signed on in 2023 are the result of new partnerships with Church United FL, Great Commission Collective, Prison Fellowship, and Uplift Restore IN. Our Founders new book, Persevering Power, was published by InterVarsity Press with significant support from the broader Christian community. This positions us to launch a new Podcast called Restore Justice, blog, and speaking opportunities in 2024.”
