What The Lords Work Inc does
Mission
The purpose of the lord's work is to be a faith-based organization serving local and international communities by engaging in a broad range of strategies that promote development, license and ordain ministers of the gospel, provide religious, charitable, and humanitarian services, support missions and to also engage in activities which are necessary, suitable, or convenient for the accomplishment of that purpose.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The lords work hosts semi-annual conferences that unite men with shared beliefs and goals and provides guidance on topics of spirituality, stewardship, and faith strengthening.
$37,433 spent$10,913 earned by the program16% of program spendingIn 1999, texas became the first state to pass the baby moses lawallowing a woman to legally and safely surrender her newborn, up to 60 days old, to a person at a fire station or emergency room with no risk of criminal prosecution. Fast-forward to 2023, and that law has evolved. The governor has now signed legislation allowing newborns to be placed anonymously into a secured "baby box" at designated locations like fire stations or hospital ers. In a time when many people avoid face-to-face contact, this provides a discreet, safe optionmuch like a night deposit box at a bank. We're working to install the first baby box in a hospital in central texas at coryell health in gatesville. With support from local leaders and a few churches, we've raised the funds and are currently building the box. To learn more or support the project, visit babymosestexas.org.
From the beginning, the board members of the lord's work were deeply moved by the mission of the gideonsan organization known for placing bibles in jails, hospitals, nursing homes, and, most famously, hotel rooms. Recognizing the power of putting god's word directly into people's hands, we've made bible distribution a core part of our mission. Whether it's across our local community or in distant nations like kenya, liberia, malawi, haiti, tanzania, and india, we are committed to helping people access scripture in their own language and context. Through this work, we believe hearts can be changed, hope can be restored, and the message of christ can reach the ends of the earth.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $3.2M to $3.8M (+19%).
How it's funded, over time
