Overview

Mission

Proverbs 19:8 ministries exists to introduce people to the gospel of jesus christ and help them apply biblical wisdom to their lives. The mission is based on proverb 19:8, "the one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper."

What it reported doing in 2025

Personal discipleship based on biblical principles. This involves both online appointments and face-to-face meetings to help people grasp how biblical truth applies to their personal growth and relationships. Donors make contributions to our ministry to enable us to offer this service.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
