Stabler and his wife, Mrs. Carol Force Stabler, who for the past years have pastored the Mayflower Church, Pacific Grove, California.The organization and its Board of Directors send Rev. and Mrs. Stabler to conferences of Christian leaders where they teach, counsel, encourage, and equip them to do their work more effectively.The organization also distributes publications, books, pamphlets, records, and audio cassettes at meetings and by mail requested directly from the organization and the remaining sales through Christian bookstores and other outlets for religious materials.Publications, books, pamphlets, records and audio cassettes would be available for free distribution within the discretion and guidelines of the Board of Directors in furtherance of the organization's exempt purposes. The underlying purpose of the organization is to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

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.
