Overview

Mission

The organization's only program is to provide Christian training to people seeking to further their faith journey. Last year teams totaling 69 members trained and served on two three-day retreats to assist 32 participants in better understanding their individual Christian beliefs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Retreats are called "Walk to Emmaus". Each retreat serves 12-25 persons. Focus is on a 3-day Christian educational course.

Operating model

Revenue model: Earned-program. 78% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
