Overview

Mission

We declare the good news of life in Jesus Christ and teach the practical truths of the Bible in parts of the world that have had very little exposure to this type of ministry in this generation.

What it reported doing in 2025

Missions work in Europe: The Church planted by this organization in Spain continues to minister to people through over 100 services per year. We do regular outreach outside the walls of the church and offer ministry training classes for future Pastors and missionaries. This work is positioned to bring people from a place of no knowledge of God to being fruitful laborers in His Kingdom. We give glory to God! Beyond Spain, we focused on bringing good Christian materials to the Balkans (the least reached area in Europe.) We connected with and provided materials to 14 churches and ministries in this region.Supporting like-minded ministry around the world: This ministry survives on the generosity and vision of people who sacrificially reach beyond themselves to help others financially. We purpose to act as we encourage our donors to act. We support other ministries that serve people around the world.At minimum, over 1,000 people were impacted by the work of this ministry, and at least thousands are impacted by the donations we send around the world.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
