Wildfire Network

General Unrestricted. Our centralized support services comprised one of the largest and most impactful programs carried out by the organization. Through our central services hub at 4411 Walzem Road STE 208, we hosted 24 sessions of the Wildfire Cohort to incubate and launch new grassroots missions. We also used the conference room to provide crucial personalized coaching to mission leaders to help them navigate crisis and remain in their field. 2 Podcasts utilized the recording room at the HUB to share Christ Centered content to the world, Returning to Joy and Along the Way. In short, our central services HUB provided meaningful programming content and location for empowering missional leaders within our network. Financial Network Services to support the ministries that are formally connected to the network. in 2024 We had a team that provided financial services to 7 missions within the network. This included budget development, training for documentation using automated receipt keeper system, accurate record keeping through quickbooks online, access to online donation services - free of any fees or charge to the missions that use them. The costs include the contract payments to our finance team, as well as the required subscription services necessary to maintain our websites, as well as the fees that were covered in their entirety by the general budget of the network so that the missions could maximize their impact.

Another program that Wildfire Network operated in 2024 was the Angel Helpers Ministry. Angel Helpers helps share the joy of Jesus with families in need by providing gifts to children in a way that provides dignity and agency to their parents, guardians and caregivers. They operated 3 separate Christmas Market events, provided Easter baskets, launched a new program to serve adults with intellectual disabilities, and helped provide school supplies to children from a multi county region including Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal. Over 305 volunteers gave their time to this program and hundreds of families were impacted.
