Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
ADMINISTER JUSTICE EMPOWERS VULNERABLE NEIGHBORS WITH THE HELP OF A LAWYER AND THE HOPE OF GOD'S LOVE THROUGH THE HOME OF THE CHURCH. OUR VISION IS TO SEE 1,000 GOSPEL JUSTICE CENTERS TRANSFORMING LIVES IN THE NAME OF CHRIST. THESE CENTERS ARE IN NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCHES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ADMINISTER JUSTICE TRAINS VOLUNTEERS FOR NINE DISTINCT ROLES THAT SIMPLIFY JUSTICE THROUGH A FULLY SUPPORTED, TURNKEY OPERATION.EACH GOSPEL JUSTICE CENTER REQUIRES $5,000 TO OPEN BUT ONCE OPENED IS FULLY SUSTAINED THROUGH $30 CLIENT COPAYS. DONORS SUPPORT THE FUNDS TO LAUNCH A CENTER AND CLIENTS KEEP THE DOORS OPEN AS THEY CONTRIBUTE A SMALL AMOUNT TOWARD THE HELP AND HOPE THEY RECEIVE THROUGH A CENTER. (CONTINUED ON SCH O)ADMINISTER JUSTICE HAS THREE UNIQUE DISTINCTIVES THAT COMBINED DIFFERENTIATE OUR LEGAL MINISTRY SERVICES FROM ALL OTHER ORGANIZATIONS: A) WE AFFIRM DIGNITY AND SUSTAINABILITY; B) WE ARE BIBLICAL AND HOLISTIC; C) WE ARE CHURCH-LED, TEAM SUPPORTED AND NEIGHBORHOOD BASED.IN 2021, WE LAUNCHED A NEW CAMPAIGN TO OPEN THE GATES FOR JUSTICE AND HOPE BY ESTABLISHING 300 GOSPEL JUSTICE CENTERS BY THE END OF 2025.
