We provide a space where believers can be refreshed, equipped, and refueled to fulfill their purpose in the earth! As the hands and feet of Jesus in the earth, our heart is also to create a culture of generosity to be a resource to others, representing the kingdom of God.

Operating model

- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
