Lost But Not Forgotten

“The figure of $7,950 represents charitable donations made from our organization to 15 other non-profit organizations of interest to ours.

“Other expenses always constitute the bulk of our expenses for this non-profit ministry. These are unique to our organization as we sponsor evangelists in West Africa to travel to indigenous areas to preach the gospel. 1. Mission trip expenses: 83,685. A broad category and the largest expense category of the ministry reflecting our mission goals. About the same as last year despite a drop in overall revenue. This line covers airfare from the US, ground transportation, 4x4 rental, fuel, rental of evangelism equipment, housing, food and water. Other small expenses include appreciation to the chiefs and officials whose permission we are required to obtain in order to conduct our mission. 2. Equipment expenses were the next major line item at 8,923 which is about the same as last year. Of these expenses motorbike purchases totaling 5,592 was the single greatest expense. This item is critical for bringing the evangelist to the particular villages of interest. The next item was computers at 1,181 which is required more and more to play the technology used to show the Jesus film. 3. Humanitarian aid of 7,705 was increased significantly over last year as needs have increased and our response has been more active. 4. Evangelism supplies were the next largest category at 2,350.”
