Overview
Mission
Make disciples. Equip disciple-makers. At age four-and-a-half, Alicia trusted in Jesus. Alicia spent her childhood in Brazil while her and her family shared the good news of Jesus Christ to the lost. God planted a desire in Alicia's heart to follow in her parents' footsteps to become a missionary. She attended Bible college and graduated with a bachelor's in Christian Education. Alicia persued the orphaned children in Romania. God led her to Mission's 3:16 to work with a team of well-established missionaries in several children's ministries. in 2024, Mission's 3:16 accepted her as a full-time missionary. Now she is raising support to move to Romania and begin ministry. Thank you so much for your prayer and financial partnership!

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 92% 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.
