Overview

Mission

CCFR was officially registered as a non-profit religious organization with the California government in 2018. CCFR is eager to establish a church which holds traditional Christian beliefs and pursues righteousness in the San Francisco Bay Area. With brothers and sisters who share the same vision in other parts of the world, CCFR wants to become one of many beacons reflecting God's light of justice everywhere. CCFR knows that its most important service is to spread the gospel of Christ. It aims to lead Chinese immigrants in the United States, expecially the exiles who push for human rights and democratic reform in China, to come to the Lord Jesus Christ. CCFR are convinced that Jesus Christ alone is the ultimate hope of the Chinese people and all mankind.

What it reported doing in 2018

Starting early 2017, with the influence of CCFR's Fellowship expanding, brothers and sisters from other parts of the US expressed wishes to join CCFR, which started holding a prayer meeting over the phone (changed to Skype at the end of 2018) every Saturday night, and officially named our Fellowhip "Chinese Christian Fellowship of Righteousness" (CCFR). Every week, CCFR publicly publishs "Special Prayer Matters" to reveal how Chinese Christians are being persecuted by the atheistic Chinese government, and to appeal to brothers and sisters everywhere to pray for Christians and churches as well as activists for human rights and social justice in China. This ministry is ongoing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
