Organizations Filed Purposes: ACTIVATED MINISTRIES IS A CA 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT ESTABLISHED IN 1999. PRIMARY GOALS INCLUDE SUPPORT FOR HUMANITARIAN AND/OR MISSION-BASED PROJECTS, PRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF EDUCATIONAL AND INSPIRATIONAL MATERIALS, AND PROVIDING POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS.

THE PRIMARY GOALS OF ACTIVATED MINISTRIES INCLUDE HUMANITARIAN AND/OR MISSION-BASED PROGRAMS; DISTRIBUTION OF INSPIRATIONAL MATERIALS AND PROVIDING POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS.

MISSIONARY OUTREACH PROGRAM: THROUGH 2019, DONATED MATERIALS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WERE GIVEN TO PROJECTS IN AFRICA, INDIA & MEXICO. EVENT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: PROJECT GULU - FAMILY CARE, UGANDA: WHEN STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM PROJECT GULU'S PRIMARY SCHOOL IF FAMILY MEMBERS ARE UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR SECONDARY EDUCATION OR THE STUDENT HAS NO FAMILY (MANY STUDENTS ARE FORMER CHILD SOLIDERS OR CHILDREN OF CHILD SOLIDERS) THEN PROJECT GULU FINDS SPONSORSHIP FOR THEIR SECONDARY EDUCATION. 56 CHILDREN ARE CURRENTLY BEING PUT THROUGH SECONDARY SCHOOL (6 YEARS). THEY ALSO HAVE 4 POST SECONDARY STUDENTS WHO ARE PURSUING A CAREER IN NURSING THROUGH GENEROUS SPONSORSHIPS AND SOME SCHOLARSHIPS. THROUGH GENEROUS DONATIONS THE SCHOOL WAS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO TAKE THE OLDEST CLASS IN PRIMARY, CLASS 7, ON A TRIP TO KAMPALA WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO VISIT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR LIVES; A MUSEUM, A HOSPITAL, A LARGE BODY OF WATER (SWIM IN A LAKE), A RESTAURANT, AN AIRPORT ETC. THIS IS ALWAYS A HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR FOR STAFF AND TEACHERS BUT FOR THE CHILDREN IT'S OFTEN LIFE ALTERING AS IT OPENS UP THEIR WORLD GIVING THEM A BROADER VISION FOR WHATS AVAILABLE TO THEM AND WHERE STUDYING AND HARD WORK CAN LEAD THEM. THIS YEAR BROUGH A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THE SCHOOL, SUNDAY, A RESIDENT SCHOOL NURSE AVAILABLE TO THE 230 STUDENTS. PREVIOUSLY ANY ILL STUDENTS WOULD NEED TO BE TREATED AT THE LOCAL CLINIC WHICH IS RUN BY AN ELDERLY RETIRED DOCTOR WHO IS RARELY ON SITE AND IT WAS ALSO ALWAYS LOW ON MEDICINE PARTICULARY MALARIA MEDS WHICH ARE IN SUCH HIGH DEMAND. HAVING THEIR OWN SCHOOL NURSE AND MEDICAL KIT HAS GREATLY IMPROVED THE CARE OF THE CHILDREN AND TEACHERS. DEBATE AND CRITICAL THINKING WERE ALSO ADDED TO THE CURRICULUM THIS YEAR. THE SCHOOL HAD THEIR BEST BRICK MAKING SEASON SO FAR. THIS IS DONE DURING THE ANNUAL SCHOOL VACATION IN DECEMBER & JANUARY. WITH ALL THE NEW BRICK THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE A LOT OF PROGRESS IN FINISHING THE COMMUNITY HALL. THE COMMUNITY HALL IS PART OF A LARGER PLAN THEY HOPE TO IMPLEMENT IN 2020 TO BE ABLE TO OFFER CLASSES & TRAUMA COUNSELING TO ADULTS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. ANOTHER BIG STEP OF PROGRESS FOR PROJECT GULU FOR 2019 WAS FINALLY COMPLETING ALL THE PAPERWORK AND GETTING APPROVED AS A LOCAL NGO, THIS WILL HELP TO EXPEDITE FUTURE PAPERWORK AND ALSO KEEP THEIR COSTS MUCH LOWER THAN BEING REGISTERED AS A FOREIGN NGO. VALUES IN EDUCATION, INDIA: WE WERE ABLE TO SPONSOR 6 COMPLETE VALUE IN EDUCATION LIBRARIES IN 2019. AS THEY ARE TAILOR MADE FOR EACH SCHOOL AND INSTITUTION THAT THEY ARE GIFTED TO THIS OFTEN REQUIRES A BIT OF TIME IN THE PREPARING OF EACH LIBRARY. DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION OF THE SCHOOL SOMETIMES IT REQUIRES TRANSLATING AS WELL OR IN THE CASE OF IVOTHIRGAMAYA, AN NGO RUN BY THE BLIND FOR THE BLIND IT REQUIRED RECORDING SOME OF THE AUDIO BOOKS IN THE REGIONAL LANGUAGE MALAYALAM TO MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE. THE MAJORITY OF 2019 WAS SPENT IN THE CREATION, TRANSLATION & DUPLICATION OF THE KITS. 3 LIBRARIES WERE DELIVERED, THIS ALWAYS INCLUDES A 1-2 DAY TEACHER TRAINING SEMINAR EXPLAINING IT'S USE AND A FOLLOW UP VISIT 6 MONTHS LATER. THE OTHER 3 SPONSORED LIBRARIES WILL BE DELIVERED IN EARLY 2020. 1. METRO MATRICULATION SCHOOL 2. JYOTHIRGAMAYA, AN NGO RUN BY A BLIND PERSON FOR THE BLIND 3. VALLAMAI - WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT & SKILL ENHANCEMENT UNIT LOCAL PROJECTS, MEXICO ACTIVATED MINISTRIES PARTNERED WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN SAN ANTONIO DE LAS MINAS TO START A FOOD AND HOUSEHOLD GOODS PANTRY FOR LOCAL FAMILIES GOING THROUGH HARDSHIPS. 99 CENTS STORES SUPPLIER J.C. SALES HAS BEEN GENEROUSLY DONATING FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW AND ACTIVATED MINISTRIES STAFF WORKED TO BRING THE DONATED SUPPLIES DOWN FROM LOS ANGELES AND THEN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS HANDLED SCREENING FAMILIES IN NEED AND DISPENSING THE ITEMS. WE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN A FUNDRAISER FOR THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT IN OCTOBER OF 2019, DURING AND AFTER THE HORRIBLE FIRES THAT TOOK LIVES AND MANY HOMES IN BAJA.
