Overview

Mission

Cutting edge outreach ministries organizes mission trips, bible school, work projects, and other activities with the goals of training and equipping young people to be leaders and motivate them to be part of their local church.

What it reported doing in 2024

During our mission trips, we engage in a variety of ministries, including evangelistic events, homeless outreaches, and vacation bible schools. Typically, hundreds of individuals attend the different outreach programs, and hundreds of low-income people benefit from the distribution of clothing, food, and school supplies. The goal of our ministry is to carry out missions on every continent worldwide. We aim to make a positive impact in the locations we visit and on the individuals who participate in our mission trips.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
