| FORM 990 PART III - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | Program Service Accomplishments in 2022, Lighthouse for Christ Mission continued to successfully operate the following programs:Eye Care-Provide world-class eye care to the poor and blind babies, children, and adults of East Africa. Approximately 90% of patients receive free eye care treatment and surgeries. We are staffed with Kenyan National ophthalmologists and clinic technicians. In 2022, we treated 33,966 patients at our 2-acre eye center campus located in Mombasa; three satellite locations 1-3 hours from our main base; and rural and remote eye camps for underserved areas in East Coastal Kenya. We restore sight to the blind and thereby lift poor families who can then return to the trade to survive and children who can gain an education by starting or returning to school. Since expanding our eye care services to now include retina and glaucoma, our patient volume increased in 2022. We are now considered the major hub for complete eye care services in East Africa!Fellowship of Churches: Established to spread the Gospel and provide spiritual growth for Kenyan Nationals by planting local churches. What began in 1969 with one very small church on our Mombasa campus building roof, has now grown to 100 established and thriving local congregations. Local national pastors teach and lead their congregations.Bible Institute: Establish to train young men and women in the Bible, English courses, evangelism, and various trades to help them gain good employment to support their families. It is estimated unemployment in East Coastal Kenya is around 70%. In 2021, we also expanded our training facilities on our Mombasa campus from 20 students to now accommodate up to 40 in our 1-year program. Classes are held Monday through Friday with the students living in very nice on-campus dormitories. They return each weekend to their local communities to help their pastors. Many go on to pastor and establish new churches.Evangelism: A major contributor to our successful evangelism efforts is the use of internationally acclaimed Jesus Film in their local language. We use mobile solar powered AV units where we show a movie in remote bush communities. In 2022, 35,004 heard a clear gospel message with 2,783 coming to Christ. |
| Gift Policy | The Mission adopted a gift acceptance policy that requires the review of any non-standard contributions at their Spring 2013 board meeting. |
| STATEMENT PURSUANT TO REGULATION SEC. 1.368-3(a) | On July 15, 2022 (the Effective Date), the Corporation effected a reorganization for the sole purpose of changing its place of organization from California to Texas (the Reorganization). Light House for Christ Mission, a California nonprofit religious corporation (California LFCM), caused Lighthouse for Christ Mission, a Texas nonprofit corporation (Texas LFCM), to be formed on the Effective Date solely for the purpose of effecting the Reorganization. Texas LFCM had no members, assets or liability or tax attributes prior to the Reorganization. Immediately following the formation of Texas LFCM, California LFCM merged with and into Texas LFCM, with the separate corporate existence of California LFCM ceasing and Texas LFCM being the surviving corporation. As a result of the Reorganization, on the Effective Date, all of the property, rights, privileges and powers of California LFCM vested in Texas LFCM as the surviving Corporation and all assets, debts, liabilities and duties of California LFCM became the assets, debts, liabilities and duties of Texas LFCM as the surviving Corporation. The governing documents of Texas LFCM in effect on the Effective Date constitute the governing documents of the surviving Corporation and provide that its assets are irrevocably dedicated to charitable and religious purposes. The surviving Corporation continues to carry out the same purposes as California LFCM and will continue to use the Federal Employer Identification Number assigned to California LFCM. The surviving Corporation continues to have the same officers and directors as the California LFCM. There are no other parties to the Reorganization. Light House for Christ Mission, a California nonprofit religious corporation is the only acquired (transferring) corporation and Lighthouse for Christ Mission, a Texas nonprofit corporation is the only acquiring corporation. The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and to comply with the requirements of IRS Revenue Procedure 2018-15. |
