Overview

Mission

Hilton Sutton World Ministries is an evangelical ministry that teaches Biblical prophecy that inspires victory, joy, peace, and hope, and sets believers in Christ free from unscriptural fear of the future. The nonprofit also shares the Gospel of Jesus in the United States and around the world, supports missionaries, and cares for orphans.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
