Our Major Ministry is the Prison Re-Entry Everlasting Life Foundation. The Ministry was created to serve the community of Paterson spiritually and secularly. Everlasting Life Foundation Ministry is designated a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a church with a Godly mission to serve this great country, this State of New Jersey, and the community of Paterson with humility and our God-given strength. Everlasting Life Foundation Ministry serves the needs of the community regardless of race, religion, gender, creed, color, and political affiliation.
We serve individuals, not groups, through our different ministries. Everlasting Life Publications publishes Christian newsletters and tracts for distribution mainly to the shut-in and prison locations. These publications are available for download on our website.
Everlasting Life Foundation Ministry provides toys for children at Christmas time, food baskets, and turkeys for families during Thanksgiving. We also provide coats for men, women, and children during the winter, trying to fill the family's Christmas needs with gifts of warmth. We have partnered with various organizations to meet the community's needs and supply these organizations with a distribution network.
