Other Part III, "Statement of Program Service Accomplishments," line 4: Describe the organization's program service accomplishments. Community Development: We served a total of 520 separate communities with a 2-month Portable Bible School education, graduating 52,834 indigenous leaders equipped with long-term transformative training and a Bible in their own language. Trained leaders carry local solutions, demonstrated by 1,372 people receiving much-needed intense trauma counseling, dedicating 17 new church buildings professionally constructed. These churches now facilitate not only church services but become community centers for further training, schools, community events and more. We taking 2,231 women through community-based empowerment programs, distributing 30,000+ Bibles strategically in native languages, and bringing 58,638 known people to a saving knowledge of God. Prayer & Evangelism: These teams provide rare and necessary community organizing and cohesion to see all other public and private investments flourish in the gateway cities of Gulu and Juba and beyond, uniting political and religious leaders to serve selflessly and wisely, providing neutral ground for people and pastors to connect with God and each other, hosting national reconciliation events, visiting those in prison and hospitals, seeing 1,289 people give testimony of God's healing in their lives, and bringing 3,427 known people to a saving knowledge of God. Education & Discipleship: Provided primary school education for 425 children, university education for 95 staff, total K-12 and vocational training for 200+ orphans in our care, purchased and renovated a new 5-acre property to house and educate these youth coming off street life and reducing crime, serving additional community youth with workshops, and reached hundreds of thousands listening to our two radio stations with journalism, preaching, teaching, encouragement, and community engagement during the lockdowns. Through these efforts, over 45,038 known people entered into a saving knowledge of God. Economic Empowerment: Invested in land and property improvements for long-term local revenue sustainability through agriculture. Harvested and sold over 20,000 fish from our fishponds, 40 acres were cultivated for crop farming for the first time, outside of Gulu, Uganda as we purchased a 280 acre farm. Toilets and well drilled for the community and tractor and implements were sourced to be purchased in the beginning of 2022 for long-term agriculture work and vocational training for orphaned youth cared for by Favor. Animal husbandry increasing through chickens and goats, also a bridal and event rental business was started. These small business start ups are to economically empower and train the orphaned youth and provide internship opportunities.
