What it reported doing in 2025

International Missionary Support Nicaragua Description: "Lazarus Mission provided essential financial support and leadership to partner ministries in Nicaragua. Our primary accomplishment was the distribution of $12,960 in direct grants to the Calvary Chapel Managua which is a church in the impoverished community of Barrio Santa Ana in Managua Nicaragua. This church is a fundamental mission outreach church to the community where it provides a safe place for many to not only come and hear about Christ and the gospel message but also experience the love of God. The Church provides this in many ways from bible studies throughout the week church events for men women youth and children an elementary school to the kids from the community and a bible college that helps the member grow in Christ and facilitate the goal of planting more churches. Beyond the grant Michael Booth also used his Salary and Housing allowance to exist on the mission field for much of the year as a direct overseer of the mission in Nicaragua. Michael and his family are a crucial part to the success of the ministry. Other expenses are meal and goods for fellowship events for this program totaling $830 plus travel expenses totaling $1,716. Additionally Lazarus Mission purchased a ministry vehicle which is used to facilitate needs for this program costing $26,500. Lazarus Mission also had expenses that primarily support this program such as software subscriptions maintaining and insuring the ministry vehicle along with decorating for church events which total an additional $1,941 all of which directly went to benefiting this program for year 2025.

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 84% 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
