Inside Prison Outreach

Volunteers provide full church services to inmates in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Regions I and III. The church services include praise and worship, testimonies, Biblical messages and prayer support. We also hold Bible studies and discipleship classes such as our Starting Point program for new believers. As needed, we also perform baptism services. Once or twice per year we will bring a 3-day crusade to a host unit. These events include free-world Christian bands, preachers and teachers. We have begun holding some church services in Spanish as well as English.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
