Overview
Mission
Spiritual success institute, inc. Exists to facilitate providing short-term assistance to churches and ministers of religion (of like faith and practice with our organization) by means of the on-site work of our employees and/or by means of the bible-based literary resources which we make available.
What it reported doing in 2024
Ministry of evangelist in developing nations: approximately 1,240 people benefited directly from this service during 2024, and approximately 1,800 benefited indirectly from the gospel literature and other books that our president provided to several filipino pastors for use in five provinces of luzon. Our president traveled to the philippines (luzon) in april and in december of 2024, continuing his work of biblical preaching and teaching for several filipino pastors with whom he has maintained relationships for ministry. During april, he served more than 20 independent baptist churches that gathered for a family camp, and he spoke in five other churches. From april to december, he coordinated plans with the pastors and members of five churches in batangas and cavite to conduct a four-day training camp for musicians. In december, our president and volunteer s. Hanke were on site to lead that camp program with filipino teachers.

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.
