Overview
Mission
Living worthy ministries exists as a resource for all christians to access biblical truth and foundations on which to build their faith.
What it reported doing in 2025
Support and distribution of dr. Horton's preaching and teaching ministry. This activity impacted thousands of lives for the kingdom and greater good.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 71% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
