Overview

Mission

Practical Missions Cohort exists for God's glory by involving ordinary Christians in the call of Jesus Christ to proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and plant churches in Italy through recruiting and training short-term and long-term missionaries.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Practical Missions Cohort executed its primary mission of evangelism in Italy through the 'Vera Vita Press' outreach in the Veneto region. Activities included the production and distribution of tens of thousands of gospel tracts across multiple towns and villages. Staff and volunteers conducted open-air ministry in local piazzas, engaging hundreds of individuals directly to share the Gospel, challenge secular and Roman Catholic worldviews, and provide gospel literature. The organization expanded its digital evangelism efforts by overhauling its media ministry, launching a new website serving as an evangelical hub, and growing its YouTube channel to over 71,000 views. The organization also maintained a household and ministry center for a family of five missionaries and actively evaluated properties to establish a permanent Mission Headquarters for hospitality, Bible studies, missionary training, and new church plants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
