Advent Conspiracy Pt. 2
Here are the different causes we are giving to as part of Advent Conspiracy. (See Blog Below)Tier 1 - $1-$100,000
Education and Spiritual Care for INDY
Indianapolis Christian School
Indianapolis Christian School is indy’s “best-kept secret”. Betty Speight and her team of teachers and administrators have been changing lives in the urban center of Indianapolis for 34 years. 60 percent of the students enrolled at ICS are below the poverty line. ICS helps students receive an education and opens doors for further educational and vocational pursuits. In 2007 ICS had a 100 percent graduation rate to higher learning institutions.
Triple Seven Movement
Triple Seven is committed to planting communities of faith around the US, beginning in 2008. The vision is to begin communities in urban centers devoted to re-establish the church as the epicenter of art in culture while responding to the specific needs of the marginalized in each city. All donations from Advent Conspiracy will go to funding a new community in downtown Indianapolis beginning in February 2008 in cooperation with the Crux church in Fishers.
Tier 2 -$100,001 - $200,000
Homeless and Hungry
Outreach Indianapolis
Outreach, Inc. is a Christian ministry in Indianapolis reaching out to homeless and at-risk young adults with the compassion of Jesus Christ. Outreach provides street outreach, a youth center, holistic social services, emergency/referral services and case management; all operated in an environment of God's love. We are dedicated to introducing the youth to a relationship with Jesus Christ and helping them to mature in that relationship. Outreach comes along side the church in helping it understand and fulfill the “Great Commission” on a local level by training, equipping and supporting the body of Christ and community to minister to this population, empowering the youth to exit the street life.
Gleaners Food Bank
Right here in Central Indiana, 205,330 Hoosiers need food assistance on a weekly basis. Nearly half are seniors and children — that's over 78,831 Hoosier kids who may not develop properly for lack of nutritious food. Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit, was founded in a 3-1/2 car garage in 1980 by a group of people concerned about the growing problem of hunger in Indianapolis. Early in 1981, Gleaners received a grant from the Lilly Endowment to network with Indiana communities that wanted to develop food banks. Today, nine food banks operate to provide food to charities that feed the hungry. As Gleaners enters its 27th year, the food bank has distributed more than 195 million pounds of food and critical grocery products to charities that serve the people in need of emergency food assistance.
Tier 3 -$200,001 - $300,000

GLOBAL JUSTICE and AIDS RELIEF
International Justice Mission
IJM exists to protect people from violent forms of injustice by securing rescue and restoration for victims and accountability for perpetrators, ensuring that public justice systems work for the poor. Advent Conspiracy will be supporting IJM specifically in their endeavor to eradicate sex trafficking across the globe.
IJM has a 4 fold strategy to elimiate social injustice including sex slavery and trafficking
Victim Relief - Relieve the victim of the abuse currently being committed.Perpetrator Accountability - Bring accountability and just consequences under the law to the specific perpetrator(s) of abuse.Structural Prevention - Prevent the abuse from being committed against others who are also at risk by strengthening community factors that are likely to deter potential oppressors, reduce the vulnerability of at-risk populations and empower local authorities to stop such abuses.Victim Aftercare - Provide access to services to help victims transition to their new lives and to encourage long-term success.
“This government stands with you and our country stands with you... we abhor the practice of sex slavery and will do all we can to help you.” –George W. Bush, President of the United States of America
World VisionWorld
Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
World Vision is one of the best-managed humanitarian organizations in the world. 87 percent of all income that came in this last year went directly to relief. Advent Conspiracy will be donating specifically to the hope children of world vision. For every $400 dollars we raise, world vision will be able to supply the needed food and medicines for children directly effected and many times orphaned due to the HIV / AIDS epidemic in many countries in Africa for an entire year. When we reach this tier of giving, people participating in Advent Conspiracy will receive profiles of the children we are helping.
