Program accomplishments

• Medical, Food, and Other Assistance: (See Schedule O for description.)Medical - From July 2024 to June 2025, the Organization's medical aid focused on needs in six countries: El Salvador, Guatemala, Kenya, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Zambia. This outreach has had a wide-ranging impact. For example, the Organization shipped medical goods to a Salvadoran ministry partner, Friendly Hand Association, for distribution among free community medical clinics as well as hospitals that use these needed medicines to treat the poor. Ministry partners such as these rely on the Organization's donations to keep their medicine shelves stocked, their equipment up-to-date, and their professional staff employed. By equipping medical outreach programs with resources necessary to provide services to their communities, the Organization helps thousands of families who would otherwise go without quality medical care. The Organization performs this activity in connection with the Organization's mission to meet the needs of the poor for the glory of God.Food - Fighting malnutrition and feeding children are priorities for the Organization in connection with the Organization's mission to meet the needs of the poor for the glory of God. In keeping with this mission, the Organization gave monetary or material aid to feeding programs in seven countries: the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Malawi, El Salvador, and Zambia. Many food shipments were specifically earmarked for distribution to children, who are vulnerable to long-term developmental effects from chronic malnutrition. One of the best ways to get food into the mouths of the hungry has been to partner with Christian churches and organizations that are already established in developing countries. A large percentage of the Organization's nutritional aid was sent in the form of vitamin-fortified rice and soy mix prepackaged, nutrient-rich meals that are easy to cook and serve, and are scientifically developed to meet the needs of malnourished children. Additionally, locally purchased food, including vegetables and culturally appropriate foods, is a priority for the Organization's programs.Orphans - The Organization responded to the needs of orphans and vulnerable children in six countries: Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Malawi, Nicaragua, and Uganda. Efforts in Haiti have brought quality Christian education, nutritious food, and safe shelter to children who are currently living in vulnerable situations. In Nicaragua, one of the Organization's supporting ministries provides a safe home for court-appointed children who have suffered from domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and abandonment. The support of the Organization and its collaborative churches and ministries allows these children to receive daily Christian devotions, professional counsel, shelter, education, and a future.Education - The Organization provided education support in six countries: the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Kenya, and Malawi. Although educational opportunities are technically offered by the governments in many developing countries, the quality of these services is often substandard, and the education is not really free because the schools charge small fees, which are too high for poor parents to pay. Government-run schools may also require students to purchase supplies and uniforms that many families cannot afford. As a result of these costs, dropout rates are enormous. To reverse this trend, the Organization collaborates with Christian schools and Christian educational outreaches that focus on meeting the needs of poor children who would otherwise be left behind. With the Organization's support, these schools and school support programs have provided a quality, gospel-centered education at minimal or no cost to the students. The Organization also supported adult education through an adult literacy program in the Dominican Republic and adult education on the rights of children living with disabilities in Kenya.Water Projects - From July 2024 to June 2025, the Organization focused specifically on the funding of water projects in Zambia. The Organization partnered with the Kachere Development Programme to install clean water wells in rural Eastern Zambian villages where children and families were suffering constant illness from drinking contaminated water from open and unprotected water sources. The results of such projects are dramatic. As clean water becomes more readily available, waterborne illnesses decrease, and women no longer need to walk long distances to fetch small amounts of water from contaminated rivers. By establishing new sources of safe water that can serve communities for years to come, the Organization's projects are saving lives for the glory of God.Housing - From July 2024 to June 2025, the Organization supported housing programs in Guatemala and Malawi. In Guatemala, the Organization supported the construction of new houses for families who were previously identified as either homeless or living in dilapidated housing. The Organization collaborated with Christian churches and ministries in connection with their shared mission of meeting the needs of the poor for the glory of God.Shipping - In connection with the Organization's biblical mandate to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the poor, the Organization's shipping program uses monetary donations to transport and distribute donated goods that meet the exempt purpose of providing food, providing medicines, providing medical supplies, facilitating medical treatment, and addressing needs in a disaster relief and recovery situation. Through this approach, a donor's contribution can be multiplied ten times or more, as it places goods valued higher than the donation amount into the hands of the poor by the ministries serving them. Another benefit of shipping goods rather than sending funds is that the Organization can provide crucial medicines and medical supplies that are not locally available physically or financially. This support keeps hospitals and clinics stocked with the needed resources so doctors do not have to turn away patients untreated. From July 2024 to June 2025, the Organization shipped goods to churches and ministries in five countries: the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malawi, and Zambia. Specifically, the Organization shipped a container of school furniture to Zambia and a container of school furniture to Malawi, supporting local schools. Disaster Relief - The Organization responds to local disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and man-made disasters such as conflicts by providing needed support to local churches and ministries to provide relief to those in need in disaster relief and recovery situations. From July 2024 to June 2025, the Organization provided disaster relief to a local church affected by Hurricane Helene to support those affected by the hurricane.
  Expenses $102,380,517 · grants $101,867,490
• Project Development: (See Schedule O for description.)In order to ensure the proper use of donated funds and goods, the Organization continuously monitors and meets with overseas churches and ministry partners. The International Programs staff made visits and are in constant contact with these local churches and ministries, reviewing requests for assistance and budgets, monitoring the use of previous gifts, and providing professional assistance with accounting or project development issues. These project development services have helped the Organization's partners grow more effectively, provide better outreach to the poor, and maintain greater stability in the community. In addition to the project development services provided by the Organization to cooperating churches, the Organization also regularly engages in prayer support for the churches and ministries with which it serves.
  Expenses $5,392,853 · grants $4,615,204
• Missions Education: (See Schedule O for description.)The Organization's overall mission includes educating Christians in the United States about the needs of the poor overseas and highlighting a biblical basis for responding to that poverty. This is important to the Organization's goal of developing stronger relationships between the church in the U.S. and the church in the developing world. The Organization achieved this goal by communicating directly to American Christians through Christian radio. The Organization's radio presentations were made to the public on radio stations throughout the country. Along with conventional radio, the Organization also educates through satellite radio, speakers, musical performances, events, online promotions, mailed materials, and other forms of communication. The Organization desires that churches from around the world would be united in meeting the needs of the poor for the glory of God.
