Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2020

TRAINING: During the Secret Church event we had a special offering for our training center. We are in the planning phases of establishing a physical location overseas. Here's a description of the program: Located in Western Asia, Radical's Training Center allows global workers to live among the unreached and experience full cultural immersion while gaining language acquisition skills and instruction from seasoned and cross-cultural global workers with years of experience in the field. Focused on both the hard and soft skills required to make Kingdom impact among the unreached, Radical's Training Center will help new global workers develop confidence, resiliency, and learn best practices for cross-cultural church planting, evangelism, and discipleship among some of the hardest to reach people and places on earth. www.radical.net/training.Gap Year program for recent high school graduates (ages 18 - 20). These student take a gap year before starting the next chapter in their lives. It exists to assist the students in becoming disciples of Jesus Christ who leverage their entire lives for teh sake of Gods glory amont all nations. www.radicalgapyear.com

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 80% for direct work, and 20% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
