Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

This is a support organization for Kishenev Bible Church, Seminary AND Missionaries in the city of Chisinau, Moldova, and Uzbekistan, former Russian territories. All income is from public contribution and all funds except for some U.S. management expenses are sent to the church and seminary and missionaries in Moldova and other parts of Eastern Europe. For the year 2022 much of the funds transferred were used in support of Ukrainian refugees coming through Moldova. This was for food, cloting and transportation costs. Some of the support of Ukrainian refugees continutes. All organizations are recognized by the governments as NGOs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
