We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Building godly leaders of integrity so Haitians are empowered to restore THEIR nation for God's glory.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Training young men and women in Haiti to be responsible leaders in line with Christian principles.

  • HTC is the only Haitian-led 18-month Christian residential discipleship and development program for troubled young Haitian men and women (ages 16-24). Through the power of God's word and the Holy Spirit, addictions and harmful sexual and violent behaviors are broken, incarcerated youth are ministered to, and relationships with God, others, and themselves are restored. Students are taught life skills, equipped to live with dignity, provided scholarship opportunities for a University Degree or Vocational Certification, then mobilized to serve their nation, and sustained and mentored through the local church.HTC partners closely with Rendez-Vous Christ Church (RVC). RVC was started in 2016 to serve HTC graduates who were rejected by the local church because of their past. Today, they serve as church leaders, Sunday school teachers, welcomers, and small group leaders. Before the political instability, RVC served over 5,000 Haitians each week through services at four campuses. Through social media and broadcasts across Haiti, RVC's messages reach an additional 1,500,000 people.Launched in September 2025, the Haiti Teen Challenge Prison Program provides spiritual, legal, psychological, and psychosocial support to individuals within Haiti's prison system. Through a holistic approach, the program seeks to address emotional, relational, and spiritual needs while helping participants rediscover hope and purpose. Through mentorship, discipleship, rehabilitation services, and the support of dedicated partners, men and women are finding renewed dignity and opportunities for lasting transformation. Early outcomes have already includedbaptisms, family reunification efforts, and steps toward successful reintegration.In 2025, we granted over $500,000 to DJH Fondation to purchase the Women's Center. This purchase will secure the women's program well into the future.TRANSFORM: Through the power of the Holy SpiritDuring their time at HTC, students break the cycle of addiction and dependencies, all while reading and studying the word of God. They will confront their pasts and embrace God's new design of family. During their 18-month program, they are taught new life skills and serve in the community.- Restore relationships with God, self, and others.- Break addictions, fatherlessness, and dependencies.- Pursue God's design for their lives and families.EQUIP: To build a life of dignity and enable lasting changeEach student's skills, abilities, and gifts are identified. Students apply biblical principles to their daily lives, rebuilding their lives and families according to God's design. After graduation, scholarship opportunities are available for vocational or trade training or a university degree.- Cultivate character that reflects Godliness and stewardship.- Build "fraternity" within each class for support, accountability, and encouragement during and after the program.- Teach life skills and provide vocational/university scholarship opportunities to support themselves and their families.MOBILIZE: To build a new HaitiHaiti Teen Challenge graduates understand it is their responsibility to bring healing to their nation.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
