Overview

Mission

To preach the gospel to the nations of the earth.

What it reported doing in 2025

Donations and grants to foreign exempt organizations to cover expenses of evangelistic crusades conducted overseas. Conducted meetings and seminars and provided materials to promote christian church planting. Thousands attend these meetings with many churches planted and leaders trained. As we trained pastors and future leaders educational materials were provided to each attendee. Television ministry is aired in middle east, and nordic areas. We have a lot of response from these programs aired weekly.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
