Overview
Mission
Provide economic and spiritual help to impoverished areas
What it reported doing in 2025
Russia - Due to the continued conflict and war in which Russia was involved, we did not have any missionary travels in 2025, instead we provided funds as necessary to continue our usual activities. In Kamchatka we continued the support of the aged-out orphan children that we have supported for over 27 years. In Vladivostok we supported the local pastors and churches and provided much needed funds for supplies to go to orphanages, rehab centers and nursing homes as well as providing support for programs with the poor and lower social economic people, of which there are many these days.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 84% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
