Overview

Mission

To educate young adults in the teachings of jesus christ and to train, equip and deploy them as missionaries around the world, while also focusing on education, humanitarian and environmental stewardship services.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Texas spring break mission trip is primarily for college students. Each year we host 3 mission trips in march, 1 week long each, and all to the town of surfside beach Texas. Total number of participants last year was around 150 people. The participants stay in vacation rental houses and travel to volunteer work sites each day. Most of our volunteer work is for1) helping homeowners with basic repairs or clean up and building houses through partnerships with organizations likehabitat for humanity.2) community service projects like helping at food pantries, repairing churches, painting public buildings.3) environmental projects picking up trash, clearing trails, beach erosion control, and working on projects for the u.s. Fish and wildlife service, the Texas sea center, and the gulf coast bird observatory.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
