Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“Missions and partnerships (previously known as convention outreach): in 2023, luke filipiak led 6 mission trips comprised of almost 60 missionaries. We were also able to work with 10 different companies over the year. Our presence was felt and appreciated as companies like funko and allplay agreed to pay us for our services allowing for our missions arm to develop further. We took our largest team of 20 to gen con this year. We were also able to work with gamefound (a kickstarter competitor) at origins where lux digital church made up most of our team. Additionally, love thy nerd continued to cultivate business relationships with publishers in the gaming space such as funko games, allplay (formerly boardgametables.com) and xyz game labs. We began conversations with bedouin games (the flood, rise of babel adn a yet to be named magi game) about reprints of the the flood and all subsequent titles bearing the "ltn loves this game" badge. We partnered with lux digital church (a church that exists primarily on twitch and discord) to create the first-ever nerd culture ministry summit. Over 100 people from 10 countries attended the event in marble falls, tx with many stating that it changed the way they would do ministry moving forward.”
