Overview

Mission

We exist to teach women to know Jesus personally, passionately, powerfully and pre-eminently.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organizations achievements consist of regular weekly bible teachings, outreach events, conferences, and an annual reigious retreat

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
