What it reported doing in 2025

Leadership Training Program - Muc Vu Vietnam is leading a major multi-year project to translate the English Life Essentials Study Bible (LESB) into Vietnamese. It is the first multi-media Bible written. It contains 1500 "Biblical principles to live by", accompanied by 1500 teaching videos, written by world-renowned pastor and author Gene Getz. In 2023 translation of the 1500 Biblical principles was completed. In 2025, the translation of 534 New Testament teaching videos was completed. Muc Vu Vietnam is working collaboratively with Bible Society Vietnam to arrange publishing and distribution agreements that comply with all government requirements.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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

MIXED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
