Within minutes, the infant was transported by ambulance to another hospital and, shortly thereafter, transferred again to a larger medical facility for specialized care. Approximately eight days after birth, the parents were informed that the child required medical treatment beyond what was available in that country and would need t o leave t o receive life-saving care. In response, funds were raised through a GoFundMe campaign and additional fundraising efforts t o cover the cost o f an emergency medical transport via a specialized, medically equipped aircraft. The child and her family were subsequently transported to the United States, where she received critical, life-saving treatments and surgeries. Ongoing support has been necessary, as the child continues to require extensive medical care, including additional surgeries and treatments. Funds raised have also been used to assist the family with living, transition, and other essential expenses, enabling them to remain in the United States where teh child can access the necessary medical care. 19625 19625 0 The organization provides financial support t o its missionaries serving internationally, with all funds raised through charitable donations.

Form 990, Header, Line B This Form 990 is being amended to correct the categorization of certain donations and expenses for the tax year ended 12/31/2025.

This amendment reallocates those amounts to their proper categories and makes corresponding minor adjustments to office-related expense subcategories (postage, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses). Total revenue and total expenses each decreased by $748 as a result of these corrections; net assets and the balance sheet are unaffected.
