The first of the two programs is called Taiwan Bible and Language Institute or TBLI. This is mostly training in what the principals of God are through gathering together and studying the Bible very deeply. This program does offer some limited hands on training whereby participants are challenged to put into practice what they are learning in the gatherings. The second of the two programs is called the Mission Involvement Program or MIP where by all training is practical. Participants are welcomed to join sophisticated mission programs that NETCA has developed over the years and serve God and others in these programs. So together these two programs teach righteousness holiness moral character faith hope and love of God and neighbor. Lastly The TBLI program also hosted 10 married couples for a 24 hour marriage conference whereby the couples had four marriage classes stayed overnight in a hotel and was served three meals and a coffee break. The end result was that these married couples were taught biblical marriage principals designed to promote a spiritually and physical healthy marriage which contributes to the spiritual health of children and a community and a nation. These two programs including the marriage conference received $29,308.00 in revenue and had expenses of $38,333.00 in 2024. 60689 0 15986 Church Planting Program CPP - Considered the core program of NETCAs mission our CPP has started and sustains three church locations in northeastern Taiwan.

Our organization had four main programs that it serviced last year which are represented in part 1. However the way this 990 form is designed for Schedule F it appears that we are working in four regions with 12 contractors which is not the case.

The inclusion of the word Institute means that the event is very organized to the point of appearing institutionalized to gain the maximum effect for sharing the wisdom of Gods word in an organized and structured method while in a bilingual Chinese and English setting. This event was from Sept 17 thru Dec 10 four days per week. Including the facilitator the event included nine people from Taiwan and USA Part VI, Section B, Line 1 Voting rights are equal for NETCAs five board members unless there is a conflict of interest with director. That director may not vote on the matter he has a conflict of interest with. The governing body delegates to the executive team on the ground in Taiwan some decision making power in day to day activities. The director may also make financial decisions up to $3000.00 without a board vote. Part VI, Line 2 Director Richard Roberts is father-in-law to contractor Matthew Yang of Matthew Yang Ministries who performs programming management and director assistance under contracted labor for NETCA. He is not a key employee. While his advice on a programming issue may be sought he has no official voting power on general operating or programming decisions. Director Richard Roberts who is also the chairman of the board of directors does not vote with the other board directors on issues regarding Matthew Yang or Matthew Yang Ministries due to conflict of interest on any matter that would benefit contractor Matthew Yang. Part VI, Line 12c Yes at the beginning of every board meeting NETCAs By-Laws Article II Section 2.11 Conflicts of Interest is read aloud which states NETCA Directors must avoid any situation including outside interests or jobs which might interfere with their ability to exercise independent judgment with respect to their board responsibilities. A conflict of interest exists when a Directors duty to give undivided loyalty to NETCA may be prejudiced by actual or potential benefit from another source. Each Director is expected to avoid any association or investment which might appear to interfere with the independent exercise of his or her judgment and interests. The BOD will publish a separate Conflict of Interest Policy applicable to Directors and staff. After the conflict of policy is read the question is asked if there are any conflicts. There were no conflicts in 2023. Part VI, Line 15 Compensation is determined by collective board agreement upon usual and reasonable standards in todays work market in and around churches. Our contract fees for our contractors are less than the average labor market but is agreed upon by all contractors except where a conflict of interest may arise. Part VI, Line 18 NETCAs 990 form is available for public view on the IRS.gov website and on several websites on the internet. A simple entry into ones browser with our organizations name will yield access sites to our annual 990 form Part VI, Line 19 NETCA did not set up an internal plan nor did it send specific governing documents conflicts of interest policies and financial statements to a requesting Individual or group because there were no individuals or groups that requested that information. However any of the information is available upon request some may be available on our website and NETCAs completed 990 forms are available on the IRS.gov website and several third party groups post our completed 990 forms on the internet for public view Part VI, line 9 | Name of the person:, Address of the person:| Mike Jones, Submit request to, northeasttaiwan@gmail.com, San Antonio, TX, 78253| Richard Roberts, submit request to, northeasttaiwan@gmail.com, Gongliao, New Taipei City, TW, 22844| Robert Bunch, submit request to, northeasttaiwan@gmail.com, Fayetteville, GA, 30215| Mack Herrington, Submit request to, northeasttaiwan@gmail.com, Ellaville, GA, 31806| Kevin Brown, submit request to, northeasttaiwan@gmail.com, Americus, GA, 31709| Part IX Line 24 | Explanation:| 24a Other expenses not recorded in Part IX lines 1-23 are recorded here on line 24A. They are: stipends 1872 gifts 938 donations 7013 and Benevolence 53. These total 9876 and are given in the course of NETCA engaging in public charity programming where giving is a part of our ministry. Part IX Line 16 | Explanation:| These occupancy expenses were for the main office and the maintenance building and their sustainability and their utilities. While I did not list these expenses as program expenses we would not have these expenses if it were not for needing a central location from which to prepare and launch our programs. See 24b for programming expenses which include any rental facilities used for programming. Part IX Line 24 | Explanation:| On line 24c $5329 Expenses are for this reason: Because NETCA has a big Public Charity purpose in Taiwan and because Taiwan is a cash society our office personnel make constant banking exchanges through ATMs the Taiwan Post Office Paypal and Checking accounts. Often when exchanging USD for TWD or vice versa there is an unrealized loss in exchange rates. These unrealized fees can be quite large especially when there are many transactions or large transactions.
