Overview

Mission

There are approximately 5000 missionaries leaving the field every year for preventable reasons such as team conflicts, marital and family issues, or burnout. The primary purpose of Refresh and Resound International is to keep missionaries emotionally healthy so they can remain in the field longer, while thriving to accomplish their mission. We do this through many different means: retreats, conferences, a "safe place" to process relationship conflicts and communication issues, as well as providing worship experiences, family getaway respite times, debriefs, financial assistance and support for those in transition.

What it reported doing in 2024

Missionary Care: Throughout 2024, Refresh and Resound International supported missionary care efforts by funding over 185 hours of in-person and on-line debriefs, crisis debriefs, prayer sessions and counseling appointments, directly impacting 76 individuals across Asia and the Middle East.Refresh and Resound International also provided funding for personal retreat getaways for 10 family units, representing 43individual serving in Central America, Asia, and the Middle East.

Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
