Overview

Mission

To create a messianic jewish family bible for messianic jewish children and parents to enjoy along with the worldwide community of believers in messiah yeshua.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ministry accomplishments - the mission of the messianic jewish family bible society is to: 1) reach out with god's word, 2) safeguard god's word and biblical art, and 3) gather families around god's word. This was accomplished through touring, speaking engagements, events and fundraising. The mjfbs gave away hundreds of bibles to prisons, chaplains, students, children and influencers. We continue to offer text free of charge to electronic platforms which are downloaded by millions. The tree of life version was updated with hundreds of corrections, the tlv was repaginated. The mjfsb created a weekly educational bible study, called tlv treasures, used for families, congregations, and communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
