Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

“The cross is a powerful symbol to christians. The bible teaches that christ's death on a cross and subsequent resurrection provided the perfect sacrifice to atone for man's sin and reconciles man with his creator. Thus, the cross signifies christ's victory over death and the hope and eternal salvation available in him. The corporation will pursue this mission with the voluntary assistance of private individuals, families, churches, and other organizations. The volunteers will package a small cross along with a message of christ's salvation into an envelope. The volunteers will then pray over the envelopes before they are taken to the post office for shipment. The goal is to deliver one envelope to every home in the united states. It is the corporation's prayer that when the cross and plan of salvation arrive in a home they will be used to blanket that home with the love of christ and help bring that family closer to god's eternal plan for us all. If the cross ends up in a home that has already accepted god's gift of salvation, it is the corporation's hope that this cross will be an encouragement to them to go out and spread god's word to those they come in contact with.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE CROSS IS A POWERFUL SYMBOL TO CHRISTIANS. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT CHRIST'S DEATH ON A CROSS AND SUBSEQUENT RESURRECTION PROVIDED THE PERFECT SACRIFICE TO ATONE FOR MAN'S SIN AND RECONCILES MAN WITH HIS CREATOR. THUS, THE CROSS SIGNIFIES CHRIST'S VICTORY OVER DEATH AND THE HOPE AND ETERNAL SALVATION AVAILABLE IN HIM. THE CORPORATION WILL PURSUE THIS MISSION WITH THE VOLUNTARY ASSISTANCE OF PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, CHURCHES, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. THE VOLUNTEERS WILL PACKAGE A SMALL CROSS ALONG WITH A MESSAGE OF CHRIST'S SALVATION INTO AN ENVELOPE. THE VOLUNTEERS WILL THEN PRAY OVER THE ENVELOPES BEFORE THEY ARE TAKEN TO THE POST OFFICE FOR SHIPMENT. THE GOAL IS TO DELIVER ONE ENVELOPE TO EVERY HOME IN THE UNITED STATES. IT IS THE CORPORATION'S PRAYER THAT WHEN THE CROSS AND PLAN OF SALVATION ARRIVE IN A HOME THEY WILL BE USED TO BLANKET THAT HOME WITH THE LOVE OF CHRIST AND HELP BRING THAT FAMILY CLOSER TO GOD'S ETERNAL PLAN FOR US ALL. IF THE CROSS ENDS UP IN A HOME THAT HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED GOD'S GIFT OF SALVATION, IT IS THE CORPORATION'S HOPE THAT THIS CROSS WILL BE AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO THEM TO GO OUT AND SPREAD GOD'S WORD TO THOSE THEY COME IN CONTACT WITH.
