Overview
Mission
We proclaim the message of Jesus Christ and multiply evangelists on the vanguard of the Great Commission.
What it reported doing in 2024
Because of the missions support of our donors, we were able to accomplish the following in 2024: 910 evangelists from belarus, columbia, honduras, benin, liberia, uganda and beyond benefited from training, encouragement, and community. 102 evangelists received portable sound equipment. 2700 free copies of rev. Michael lusk's books were donated, serving as a lasting deposit in believer's lives. We trained in spirit-empowered evangelism some 1800 believers face-to-face internationally, besides believers trained in the USA. We witnessed approximately 1940 decisions for jesus christ. We envision a world where everyone hears the good news about jesus christ. We accomplish this by proclaiming the message of jesus christ and multiplying evangelists on the vanguard of the great commision.
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
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
