Overview
Mission
The mission of the india study bible project is to promote a deeper understanding of god's word by translating and publishing biblical-based resources with a lutheran perspective (e.g. The lutheran study bible) into the vernacular languages of india and other countries throughout the world.
What it reported doing in 2024
Translation of the lutheran study bible (lsb) from english to 7 indian languages (telugu, tamil, hindi, malayalam, kannada, punjabi, and urdu) continued in 2024. Translators completed 20,904 translation steps in our process.
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 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
