Overview

Mission

Missions training

What it reported doing in 2025

We train students for short-term and long-term mission assignments and send them to various nations to teach and to share the gospel of jesus christ. Youth with a mission is an international movement of christians from many denominations dedicated to presenting jesus christ personally to this generation, to mobilize as many as possible to help in this task, and to the training and equipping of believers for their part in fulfilling the great commission. As christians of gods kingdom, we are called to love, worship, and obey our lord, to love and serve the church, and to present the whole gospel for the whole man throughout the whole world. We believe that the bible is gods inspired and authoritative word, revealing that jesus christ is gods son, that man is created in gods image, that he created us to have eternal life through jesus christ, that although all men have sinned and come short of gods glory, god has made salvation possible through christs death

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 73% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
