Overview

Mission

To minister the loving grace of God made available through His son, Jesus Christ; to shed light on mans sinful nature. To spread the Gospel through seminars, radios, television, Church literature, and other forms of mass media.

What it reported doing in 2025

Ministries of Pastoral Care conducts schools and retreats at which participants learn how to bring people into wholeness of spirit, soul and body through healing prayer. These events are for Christian ministers and lay leaders from all denominations, and for those in the healing professions (counseling, medicine, etc.) who desire to learn to administer healing prayer to others, as well as those seeking spiritual and emotional wholeness for themselves. Each event provides spiritual refreshment and intellectual stimulation through worship, lectures, and healing prayer. Event registration fees cover tuition, housing and meals for residential events, as well as conference literature. Event scholarships are given to participants based on need and suitability for training.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
