DescriptionGrantsExpenses
In 2025, a significant milestone was reached in the organization's global outreach efforts with the commissioning and deployment of our first full-time missionary to Taiwan on June 16. This marked the transition from foundational relationship-building to active, long-term ministry presence in the region. The missionary is currently engaged in intensive language study to develop cultural and linguistic proficiency, while also serving within a local church and participating in a church planting network. These efforts are designed to support indigenous ministry initiatives and contribute to the growth and sustainability of local congregations. This advancement reflects the continued commitment of the organization to strategic, cross-cultural engagement and the fulfillment of its mission to partner with local churches in reaching their communities.$0$45,459

In 2025, the organization experienced a significant shift from preparatory efforts to active field ministry with the deployment of its first full-time missionary to Taiwan on June 16. This transition marked the beginning of sustained, on-the-ground engagement following the relationship-building and exploratory work conducted in prior years. The missionary is currently immersed in language acquisition studies while simultaneously serving in a local church and contributing to a church planting network. This represents a substantial increase in organizational activity, moving from short-term visits and planning into continuous ministry involvement and direct participation in local outreach efforts. This change demonstrates measurable progress toward long-term mission objectives and reflects the organization's deepened commitment to supporting and strengthening indigenous church initiatives within the region.

IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0The organization qualifies as publicly supported because it receives its funding entirely from voluntary contributions rather than from commercial or business activities. As reflected in Schedule A, Part II of Form 990-EZ, all revenue is reported on Line 1 as gifts, grants, and contributions, while Line 12 (gross receipts from related activities) is reported as zero. This demonstrates that the organization does not generate income through the sale of goods, services, or other revenue-producing activities, but instead relies on broad public support.
