Overview
Mission
Faith based, interdenominational organization that exists to support indigenous evangelical ministries and churches in Mexico that exercise the love of Christ in word and action.
What it reported doing in 2024
AMA Teen Center - Funds provided as approved by board and designated by donors to maintain the AMA youth center and pay the expenses of the following activities: tutored, taught English, and gave homework help and guidance weekly to 20 children; fed 45 + children and their mothers every Saturday, along with a Bible lesson and games; and provided a week long Vacation Bible School to 65 children.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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 available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
