Overview
Mission
Church Missions Network exists to disciple indigenous believers to plant multiplying churches to take the gospel to the unreached. Training, Planting, Equipping, and Reaching How It Started Phil Johnsey ministered to four different churches over the course of 30 years. He then began to wonder what God had in store for the last chapter of his ministry. Phil remained faithful in prayer and Bible study for eleven months, and then followed as the Lord led him to a new goal. This goal was to plant 500 churches in fifteen years. His vision was to network churches with hearts for missions, of differing denominations, and have them serve together, provide resources, and bring the precious gospel to the people of East Africa through these church plants.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
