Overview

Mission

The James Partnership desires to fulfill the command in the New Testament Epistle of James to be both "Hearers and Doers of the Word." We do this through the promotion of biblical principals of public policy and practical applications of those principals. Believing that the Bible holds the answers for people's physical, as well as spiritual prosperity. We see as part of this mission to help aid small villages in Africa and elsewhere with small economic development projects to enable the villagers to have a means of employment and provision for their families and to provide them a means for productivity and sustainability. To accomplish our purposes, the James Partnership is initially focusing on these principal projects: Churches and Villages Together, 1 Voice Films and The Animated Word where we are animating the book of Revelation.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have animated 22 chapters of the book of Revelation. We hope to finish this fully in the next year. We currently have apps on Apple and Google Play. We have started animating the books of Ruth, Esther, and Jonah. We continue our projects in poor villages in Africa. We have started a pineapple farm, a piggery, created many wells, supported a school program and helped with a fishery. We released a film--Logan's story which is now seen around the world in the Netherlands, the middle East, Australia and more. We just released a new documentary under 1Voicefilms on the Asbury Revival. We just finished the First Great Awakening, The Second Great Awakening, Toronto Blessing, Treasure Hunt, Azusa Street Revival, the Holy Spirit in Revivals. We also did a script on an amazing life. We are pitching this story.

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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
