Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

To equip and resource leaders to develop and multiply life changing churches. We will accomplish our mission by: - creating, developing and operating training programs that develop leadership skills in the context of biblical perspective and kingdom values. - recruit, train & deploy the next generation of leaders. - provide training and coaching for leaders currently on the field. - helping leaders to network and encourage each other. - creating and distributing curriculum and other resources for life changing churches to use. Life changing church defined: a life changing church is able to use its organization, activities and events to build biblical perspective and kingdom values in the lives of its people. - biblical perspective is the ability to view life and situations from god's angle shown in the bible.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
