What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Transformational Leadership Development

Petros Network equips transformational community leaders — missionary church planters, business, and government leaders — to bring about holistic, lasting change.

Population(s) Served
Adults

Petros Network designed Petros Network Women to ignite a spark of hope in the hearts of at-risk women (with children) through life and job skills training, leadership development, and micro-loans or meaningful work.

Population(s) Served
Women and girls

Petros Network agricultural initiatives include personal, community, and school gardens, and animal husbandry. Our focus is on creating sustainability in a rural community. We also offer some disaster and relief work among the communities we serve.

Population(s) Served
Adults
Women and girls

Petros Network supports the education of children, leadership development, small business training, and a Bible Diploma Program. Petros Network provides a non-formal certificate program

Population(s) Served
Adults

Petros Network supplies tools for clean water and participates with strategic partners to drill wells in rural communities where churches and schools have been planted

Population(s) Served
Adults

Petros Network leads volunteer medical and dental teams to provide in-country care as well as mentoring of indigenous professionals. We also run a medium-sized medical clinic in Jeldu, Ethiopia.

Population(s) Served
Adults

Petros Network provides transformational leadership tools, Bibles, and discipleship curriculum for holistic impact.

Population(s) Served
Adults

Protecting children is one of Petros Network's Redemptive Lift strategies for transforming a village. Working through local churches and schools we have found child sponsorship and children's feeding initiatives to be an effective means for alleviating the chronic cycle of poverty and providing children HOPE for a better future.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth

Petros Network uses sports to build the self-esteem of children and youth. Through clinics and competitive events, children receive skill development and life skill training in good sportsmanship​ and getting along with others.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth

HOPE Builders provides leadership and hands-on construction expertise to pastors, missionaries, churches and other non-profits for mission-critical building projects in an international context. Projects can include schools, churches, medical facilities, orphanages, and other similar mission-critical building projects. International construction can be quite complex and costly, but it doesn't have to be! Depending on the specific needs of each building project, HOPE Builders considers best practices in building construction, the mission purpose of the construction, as well as the most affordable, sustainable and accessible products for our building partners. This assures buildings are built correctly within the given cultural context, dollars are stretched, and donor accountability requirements are met and God's name is glorified.

Adults

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.

Equity strategies

Last updated: 09/27/2023

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
