Overview

Mission

Network Beyond is a Christian organization serving vulnerable and under-resourced people. We focus on three areas: 1. Leadership development - equipping global leaders with biblically based training. 2. Compassion and justice - support for abused children and victims of sexual slavery. 3. Expanding networks to enable others to do their work better.

What it reported doing in 2025

International training institute (ITI): This program provides practical biblically based leadership training to pastors and church leaders around the world. As we equip leaders, in their respective settings, they are able to better serve and help others to grow relationally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. In 2025: 129 trainings took place in 31 countries. In addition, we are seeing an increase in the number of graduates with global leaders involved in our teaching programs.

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 87% 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. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and expenses are high relative to revenue.
