Overview

Mission

Youth training and preparation of students for christian mission work.

What it reported doing in 2022

Phos house - on-campus discipleship community for college students intent on developing their relationship with god in a community environment. The phos house is staffed by members whose passion is to see the lives of university students changed. We have had 21 students from 10 nations this year living in the house. We interact with about the same number of students who do not live in phos house.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 72% 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 most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
