Envisioned to be a storehouse of resources for global humanitarian aid,  emerging micro-businesses, and disaster relief, Exodus Force Initiative (EFI) was incorporated in the State of Texas  as a not-for-profit corporation on September 10, 2004, and was subsequently approved as a tax-exempt organization under U.S. Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) for federal tax purposes.

Earlier in 2004, a team of clergy and professional women came together to partner their gifts and experience in a shared desire to advance the Kingdom of God by collectively being that storehouse of resources that could help people of all nations out of a place of disadvantage into a place of new opportunity.  This partnership resulted in a synergy of connection from a combination of each partner’s national and international networks in both ministerial and business arenas.  It is this synergy that is foundation in achieving their common desire, connecting organizations and resources to build economies that break cycles of poverty and famine, and that minister to the desperate needs arising from educational and emotional deprivation…in essence, to bring hope to the hopeless and promise to the land.

The name of any organization is strategic to its purpose and development.  How was this name, Exodus Force Initiative, derived?  In July 2004, after much prayer, deliberation, and seeking counsel, this team of women believed they would have favor to ask for resources from people and organizations, just as in Exodus 3:21-22, God promised that the Hebrew women, enslaved in Egypt, would successfully solicit “the gold, the silver and the garments” from their Egyptian neighbors before their “exodus” out of that slavery.  In addition, it was strongly believed by these women that if their commitment to be a storehouse of resources to a hurting world was constant, that over time, they would become a “force to be reckoned with.”  Hence the name, Exodus Force Initiative, was birthed.

 In December 2005, the board of EFI adopted a second Biblical Scripture reference to the work being done.  Hosea 2:21-23 became part of the fabric of the mission to help people transition out of disadvantage into new opportunity,  as this passage relates that when earth cries out and Heaven answers, there is great restoration to the land and the people.  EFI is all about answering the specific “cries” put before us and doing our part to bring hope to the hopeless and promise to the land.

From inception to the present, EFI has continued to uphold the original goals of developing and maintaining global working relationships, acquiring resources for program focus areas and developing and managing resource distribution systems, while focusing on an ever increasing ministry call “to bring hope to the hopeless and promise to the land.”
