Overview

Mission

S4C International is an evangelical outreach vessel fully invested in obeying the great commission by sailing to the most remote and often hardest places to reach to bring the love, light and truth of Jesus to unreached people groups.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our primary focus is to three specific islands, but we also had outreach to five other islands. In some locations, as appropriate, we provided eye glasses, water filters and food to the poor. Our primary focus is friendship evangelism. Within all these places we began forming or strengthening existing relationships of trust to share, pray, and teach over 100 people throughout the year, ranging from small children to elderly adults, mostly within family and extended family village contexts.

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 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
