Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Mission is to proclaim to all the world that Jesus Christ, the Son of God lives and came to bring us peace with God through faith in him as Lord and Savior. We do this through equipping and supporting indigenous pastors in many underdeveloped countries where the needs are great and many unreached peoples need to hear the this Gospel. We assist these pastors and help with Christ's commission by supporting the needs of these pastors, and helping them support the poor and helpless among them demonstrating the love of God for all people.
Christian humanitarian and spiritual aid to the poor in foreign countries for the sake of the Gospel of Christ. We provided food, water, transportation, medical and educational funds to various ministry pastors in many 3rd world countries where the needs are the greatest where we can do more good for our fellow man. We support and fund an elementary Christian school and Orphanage for the poor children in Kenya, as well as orphan and widows and Church outreach ministry needs among all our supported pastors in countries such as Uganda, Kenya, Peru, Pakistan, Nepal, India, and the Philippines. We do all this with a mission to bring people the hope of the good news of Jesus Christ and peace with God.

Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
Form 990, Part III, Line 2
“In 2017 we officially began our AFM Mercy Children's Home orphan and discipleship ministry in Kenya under the missionary leadership of our Vice President of AFM Jeffrey Bys and his wife Stephanie along with their family. They all moved to Kenya long term to oversee and administer this orphan, widow and discipleship ministry first hand. This ministry is now our largest focus ministry of all of About-Face Missions in all our countries of operation. Last year we secured property and constructed a 6,000 sq. ft facility just outside Bungoma Kenya in the Kaya village area and are still to this day working on completion of that facility, but in operation using it for housing with the portions completed. This is a complete holistic ministry that meets both physical and spiritual needs of the community, families and the children at greatest risk, and a rescue mission to help the give a home and hope and life to many of the street boys we find in the cities as well as some HIV positive kids who need more resources for a good life.”
Form 990, Part III, Line 3
“We displaced in the process our Mercy Foundation School and all other ministries under the prior leadership of Kennedy Simiyu so that we could have better quality control and success in helping the poor and needy of Kenya. We also discontinued the Maasai ministry programs through Pst John Tino and now only operate ministry through the Mercy Children's Home operations and our other Kenya ministry with pastor Samson Walala.”
Form 990, Part IX, Line 24E
“This is the total costs of all our various ministry expenses across the world to help the poor and spread the Gospel. Expenses include Bibles, food and medical needs for our pastor partnerships, our help operating and constructing Churches, performing mission outreaches and running orphan homes and all the multitude of needs associated with these core ministry operations.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | #1 in terms of our ministry investments this past year has been to the people of Kenya. With over $141k in total expenditures on program services, About-Face Missions has been lead by the Lord to reach more people in need with spiritual and physical help in that country primarily due to our ministry focus to build a more complete and long lasting orphanage and discipleship base for the Gospel of Christ with the boots on the ground leadership of our Bys family missionaries. They now head up and live there helping us find the appropriate needs, reduce corruption and fulfill our Mission objectives to reach more people with the compassion and love of Christ through taking in the most needy and helping others who have no one to look out for them, and training the locals how to better follow God Biblically in loving others. In terms of dollars spent, Kenya ministries subdivided as follows: Mercy Children's Home $92,536 ; JFM Church ministries including Mercy School operations $33, 916; Tino Maasai Ministries $11,325; Samson orphan ministries $3,769 |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | #1 in terms of investments. Jim Ball discipleship ministry. AFM supports and facilitates Jim's funding of his mission to reach the unreached people groups with the Gospel of Jesus through his activities of missionary work in Asia as well as teach and promote reproducible discipleship training here in the USA to help others grow the Church Biblically in north America also. These expenses represent his income and costs of carrying out his missionary work over the past year of 2017 including Mission trip costs. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | #3 in ministry focus based on investments is in the country of Nepal. Pastor Ram Bahudur Ministry in Nepal is one of our regular ministers who we support monthly for his Christian mission outreaches and for his work among the poor and needy and is our largest Nepal outreach. Through Ram we elected to begin construction on an Orphanage home to help him raise and support more orphans from the 8 he now has to take in a couple dozen needy children. This ministry cost has been one of our largest projects this past 3 years as we work to complete the home and get it fully operational. The home generates no income, but it a total charity mission of About-Face Missions to the poor and needy of Nepal and the local body of Christians that meet there. We invested $14,346 into Ram's ministry. Second in Nepal is our support of MFTN Ministry led by pastor Ruben for the personal support of 4 of his local indigenous missionary pastors at the 2017 investment of $2789 |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 0 | #4 in terms of investments is Philippines ministries in which we support 3 primary pastors in their efforts to reach out with the Gospel, help the poor and make disciples for Christ Jesus. Starting with Pastor Romeo we invested $9207 in his ministry work in 2017, then Pst Samonte we supported his work for a total of $5129 over the year helping meet medical and physical and spiritual needs. Then lastly we supported Pst Daryl with $1625 in funds for his Gospel missions and children ministries. |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 1 | #5 in financial support for AFM over 2017 was our Pakistani Church and indigent ministries through Pastor Munir. Munir is a vital lifeline to many of the poor in his community of Khanewal Pakistan where many Christians are treated like second class humans with little opportunity for meaningful work. As part of Christ's Church is our privilege and duty to help the poor Christians in places like Pakistan and we do this through this generous Pastor. He is currently our only work in Pakistan. |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 2 | # 6 in our ministry focus last year was on our Ugandan ministries in which we continue to work through Ronald Mutebi to help support the poor of his extended family around Kampala, and setting him up in as a viable means to support them long term by getting him supported in a local business. We invested $7043 in Ronalds ministry last year. Then we continue to do likewise to support Stanley Kityo and his extended family in Mityana. We likewise invested in his ministry with $1567 last year, and we supported pastor Norah and her orphans at $691 last year, but decided to close out that support for various other reasons moving forward. |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 3 | # 7 in our supported ministries investments in 2017 is India. We continue to support some of our pastor friends in their God given missions to share Jesus, help the poor and minister and support the children. Pastor Manikumar being our largest India investment with his orphan and church ministry at $4051, and then helping Pastor Nagavath Ganesh and his cousin Manjith in their tribal ministries at $2811, and lastly we took on and began helping pastor Sudhir Lal with his dalit child ministry and invested $1402 into them. |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 4 | # 8 in terms of financial investments would be our Occasional Fund Ministries funding for various other ministries some of whom we help on occasion or as people give specifically to meet a particular need that is not our monthly core AFM partners on month to month basis. Such as for Bible tracts, Sharon Bible School materials for Discipleship and other mis needs. Pst Stephen of Kenya, and Pastor Zafar Masih of SriLanka, and Pastor Jorge Gonzalo of Peru are totaled here. Some of their support is for emergency family or medical needs. |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 5 | #9 in our ministry funding support last year would be our Bible fund for monies given generally to buy Bibles for the poor, or misc benevolence fund in which we assisted people in crisis but would not be any of our foreign ministry categories. Such things would be us helping a local person with some emergency bill payments or help to buy groceries to people who are are led to us for various reasons for help. While these are not focus areas of ministry we choose to on occasion help people out of a crisis locally. |
| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc | 6 | General fund overhead expenses and costs. This represents our other costs of doing business such as websites, money transfer fees, discounts paid on card processing and other office and operational needs to conduct our all volunteer ministry. |

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | In 2017 we officially began our AFM Mercy Children's Home orphan and discipleship ministry in Kenya under the missionary leadership of our Vice President of AFM Jeffrey Bys and his wife Stephanie along with their family. They all moved to Kenya long term to oversee and administer this orphan, widow and discipleship ministry first hand. This ministry is now our largest focus ministry of all of About-Face Missions in all our countries of operation. Last year we secured property and constructed a 6,000 sq. ft facility just outside Bungoma Kenya in the Kaya village area and are still to this day working on completion of that facility, but in operation using it for housing with the portions completed. This is a complete holistic ministry that meets both physical and spiritual needs of the community, families and the children at greatest risk, and a rescue mission to help the give a home and hope and life to many of the street boys we find in the cities as well as some HIV positive kids who need more resources for a good life. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | We displaced in the process our Mercy Foundation School and all other ministries under the prior leadership of Kennedy Simiyu so that we could have better quality control and success in helping the poor and needy of Kenya. We also discontinued the Maasai ministry programs through Pst John Tino and now only operate ministry through the Mercy Children's Home operations and our other Kenya ministry with pastor Samson Walala. |
