Overview

Mission

To help spread the Gospel of the Grace of God by providing prayer, financial support, equipment, and services to missionaries and churches around the world.

What it reported doing in 2016

During our trips to South Africa, we provided prayer and financial support to a religious center and the pastor of a local church.

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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
