Overview

Mission

The organization takes individuals or church groups on short-term missions trips along the amazon river to provide humanitarian aid and evangelism, while participating with brazilian churches.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization operates thrift stores that provide financial support and awareness to the mission trips conducted by the organization. Individuals, businesses, and churches donate slightly used clothes, shoes, housewares, and furniture in order to further the mission of spreading the gospel and providing humanitarian aid to the amazon basin.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 92% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

STRONG - 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.
