Overview

Mission

Global Year is a ministry that comes along side of pastors, student pastors, parents and leaders to create an opportunity for students to take a "Gap" year between high school and career to: learn another language; immerse into a different culture; grow deeply with Christ.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Global Year recruited, trained, and commissioned 11 young adults for international mission service in Italy, England, Indonesia, and Mexico City. Three participants served as full-time missionaries in Italy and Indonesia, while 45 additional individuals participated in short-term mission teams to Indonesia and Mexico City. During their service, participants engaged in language learning and cultural immersion, built relationships with local communities, shared the Gospel, and supported local churches through prayer walks, evangelism, sports ministry, discipleship, and community outreach activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
