Overview

Mission

Advance the gospel by equipping Christ-centered leaders and local churches around the world to meet the deepest needs in their communities. But much work remains to be done. There are three billion people who have never heard the gospel. There are millions of precious boys and girls who live in extreme poverty. And, according to one estimate, 85 out of every 100 pastors have had no training. These are areas where we can make a real difference and impact eternity. With your help this year, we will make progress in meeting the deepest needs and inspiring hope in the 37 countries we serve. Each month more than one million will hear the Good News through our media evangelism efforts. Thousands of children will be cared for, educated and untethered from the cycle of poverty. Thousands of pastors will be trained to effectively serve t.

Operating model

Revenue model

Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

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 most filed governance safeguards are in place. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
