Overview
Mission
The Movement International is a multi-national church planting organization. We provide training in theology, Pastoral skills, and church planting strategy to the next generation of Pastors, church planters, and Christian leaders in Asia and Africa. We are a multiplying network of churches throughout the least Christian nations of the world.
What it reported doing in 2025
Planters Club: It costs $35 to supply a year of hands-on training for a church planter in the context of a local church. This helps cover training supplies and travel fees to our church planters, as well as maintain central training hubs. We currently have roughly 2,000 church planters who have planted roughly 5,000 churches, which have a weekly attendance of over 100,000 new Christians. Funds given through the Adopt a state program are totals given to branches to include this program as needed for each branch.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
