Organization: CRISTA Ministries
Mission: CRISTA is a family of ministries empowered to serve the needs of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is done through long-term health care, education (Pre-K-12), camping, broadcasting, relief and development and other means.
Activities: Through CRISTA Senior Living, 959 residents were served and $343,998 was provided to assist low income residents to remain in their homes. The Nursing Center provided 20,230 days of care for Medicaid recipients and Crista Shores Assisted Living provided 4,218 days of care for Medicaid recipients through their respective contracts with DSHS. Residents, family members, staff and other individuals volunteered approximately 3,000 hours assisting other residents and tutoring elementary students. The Cristwood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center was the clinical setting for nursing or nursing assistant students from two local universities and one community college. Senior residents operate a missionary commission which supports faith based volunteers around the world. Approximately 250 community service and faith based meetings occurred in our facilities accommodating residents and community attendees. Approximately one acre of our Crista Shores property is made available as a publicly accessible wetland with interpretive trails highlighting the Dyes Inlet ecosystem.
World Concern partners to transform the lives of poor and marginalized people through disaster response and sustainable community development. The love of Christ compels us to pursue reconciliation and equip those we serve, so that they may in turn share with others. In the past year, World Concern was active in 15 countries, supporting those who are left out of the main stream of humanitarian aid because of their location, ethnic background or societal power. The organization served 5,563,729 individuals through program services including livelihoods, child protection, disaster response & risk reduction, water & sanitation, non-clinical health and economic development.
