Overview

Mission

Fallout shelter ministries is providing leadership and service to others locally, nationally, and around the world by teaching others how to tap into their strengths and lead by example through martial arts as a master of hapkido, taekwondo, self-defense, and response training. These unique skills allow opportunities to reach others with the gospel of christ and the kingdom, unlike any traditional ministry. Our influences have afforded us the privilege to travail with victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual assault as well as addiction recovery and trauma recovery. Day to day we are able to have ministry opportunities with youth and others who do not attend any church or have no other example of christ in their life. And week to week we travel to serve, preach. We gather as a home church, breaking bread & diving into the word of god.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide leadership and service to others by teaching how to tap into their strengths and lead by example through martial arts and response training.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
