Overview
Mission
To serve individuals, groups and organizations by networking resources & facilitating activities that will help them build unity and be more powerful and effective in advancing the kingdom of god.
What it reported doing in 2025
We are in the phase where it is about maintaining and upgrading our facilities and equipment. There were substantial improvements to our waterline at miracle bay in Alaska as well as repairing and servicing numerous generators. Our vehicles have been fixed and repaired, and they are in good running order. Miracle bay boats have been improved with lighting, electronics and safety equipment. Going into 2026 we will be expanding our boat line with 2 more functioning boats. Both our facilities are to the point where we no longer have major building projects, all have been completed inside and out. We are currently negotiating an agreement on a piece of property to expand our ability to house more people and store all our equipment rather than paying for a lease to rent ground to do so in Alaska. We have increased our participation impact with the public by having a booth at three additional sport shows to create more awareness of what we do and why. The results we have seen so far with expanded participants have been great. The expansion of the use of our facilities to include the off season, has brought more people in which helps us maximize our impact. At miracle ranch in Montana, we have finished cabin 6 and only have trim work and finishes left in cabin 1.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
