Overview

Mission

Religious education, training and mission

What it reported doing in 2025

Nlgm seeks to encourage, equip, and empower follwers of christ, to follow christ - here, there, and everywhere until there is no place left without the gospel. This is accomplished through short- and long-term efforts called missionary journeys.

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 89% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
