Overview

Mission

To Spread the Good News of Jesus Christ One Heart at a time

What it reported doing in 2025

Various expenses incurred during the year to support all of the ministry's varied programs. These expenses are not allocated to specific programs because the cost to identify and track those program activities to a level of reporting detail would divert time and attention away from the ministry's primary goal to Spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some of the program service activities include ministry activities & events, social media, development activities, Diocese of Orange programs, healing and teaching services, prayer meetings, international outreach, etc.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 75% for direct work, and 25% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
