WE HAVE HAD A HEAVY FOCUS ON EVENTS IN GHANA, AFRICA WHERE RAISING FUNDS IS LESS PLENTIFUL THAN HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. MANY OF OUR PLANS FOR EVENTS WERE PUT ON HOLD IN 2020 AND 2021 DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. IN 2022 THERE WAS A CHANGE TO THE MINISTRY WHICH INCLUDED SOMEONE ELSE TAKING OVER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF INTERNAL COORDINATOR. WE HOPE THIS CHANGE WILL BRING US MORE TRACTION WITH US DONORS TO MEET THE 1/3 PUBLIC TEST IN THE NEAR FUTURE. TWO YEARS AGO, ONE OF OUR SUPPORTER'S BUSINESS HAD A GREAT YEAR WHICH RESULTED IN A LARGER DONATION THAN USUAL TO BE FAITHFUL, WHICH WAS A HUGE BLESSING TO OUR MINISTRY. HOWEVER, IT HAD A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON US ACHIEVING OUR 1/3 PUBLIC TEST REQUIREMENT.LESS THAN THREE YEARS AGO WE ABLE TO SET UP A SYSTEM TO RECEIVE DONATIONS ONLINE, MAKING IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THE MINISTRY.WE HAVE A DIVERSE GROUP OF DONORS AND SUPPORTERS AND ARE WORKING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF DONORS AND MATURE THE MINISTRY TO GET OUR DONATIONS LEVELS UP TO THE 1/3. WE HAVE OVER 35 INDIVIDUAL DONORS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED OUR MINISTRY FINANCIALLY OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. THIRTY-FIVE OUT OF 40 OF OUR DONORS GAVE 2% OR LESS OF OUR TOTAL GIVING FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND 86% OF OUR DONATIONS CAME FROM BOARD MEMBERS. WE ARE HOPING TO GROW THE NUMBER AND AMOUNT OF DONATIONS FROM NON BOARD MEMBERS SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE MET THE 10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE TREATED AS A PUBLIC CHARITY.
