Overview

Mission

To build supportive groups for the benefit of respective local communities by reaching, equipping, and empowering missionaries and immigrants, at a local and international level, through education and by facilitating access to trusted resources

What it reported doing in 2025

During our 2025 our organization continued providing educational programs to help missionaries become familiarized with the culture of countries in which they are assigned so they can become more effective in their work. Additionally, our organization equipped these missionaries with materials and equipment necessary for them to do their mission. Our organization also increased its outreach to the immigrant community by providing free meals once or twice each month and help them become integrated in their local communities.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
