Overview

Mission

Exclusively for religious purposes which are evangelism and to aid in the building up and edifying of individual Christians and churches through the teaching and preaching of biblical truth and through other ministries.

What it reported doing in 2025

We were in churches most every week, preaching and teaching and encouraging. This involved a lot of traveling. We counseled a number of people on the phone and in person throughout the year. We passed out thousands of pieces of literature. We spoke in private schools and conferences. We spent many hours in preparation, prayer and various other ministry projects.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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 total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
