Overview

Mission

To provide life balance education for media personalities through Bible training and counseling.

What it reported doing in 2014

To counsel and train as many members of broadcast and print media in Biblical education with a focus on life balance from a Christian perspective. This was accomplished through training events, one-on-one counseling and mentoring during the current reporting year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
