- $231,726 spent. Mobilized people and their churches to put their faith into action: Worked with leaders and hundreds members of churches within the US in 2025 to facilitate tangibly meeting needs and sharing the love of Jesus Christ. This was to both within local communities here in the USA and to the extreme poor in areas of great needs in the world. Helping people and their churches see and embrace local opportunities in their own communities is a growing segment of our work. We aided our partner churches with encouragement creative ideas and opportunities while championing and facilitating partnerships and alliances. This with other churches missions and relief organizations plus we provided service and mission trip organization engagement campaigns and raising funds for compassionate causes near their church and around the world. The results included a great many individuals and their churches growing in their faith and action while serving the poor of the world and here in the USA. It also resulted in significant financial and resource giving directly to Christian relief and development organizations they became aware of in the course of serving others. 2025 was a year of FaithQuest doing more helping leaders and their churches as well as everyday disciples of Jesus respond to a worried and troubled world in their local communities with faith love and tangible compassion.
- Recruiting training & sending missions teams: We help churches in organizing and accomplishing missions trips that are with their church members and run through church financial books not ours. We help recruit train and send the leaders and teams of these trips and work to help arrange critical components best-practices ministry partnership and after-trip church action. In 2025 we continue to take a leadership role in trips as well including FaithQuest-led & co-led trips to meet and work with partners in the Middle East including Egypt Lebanon and UAE India Germany and more. We challenge people to go and to give to Gods work everywhere and to widely serve and share the story of the needs of the lost hungry thirsty sick trafficked refugees and other marginalized and suffering children and adults from the extreme poor of the world. 2025 was another year of international fears for travel at times. This news continues to spur more interest in action within the US more than in the past. This includes interest in exploring and experimenting with new partners and local opportunities and in new and bigger ways than usual. Many courageous leaders and volunteers went all-in for new outreach often with big results pretty exciting.
- Additional Explanation: The above 4a and 4b expenses & revenue are not allocated separately to each of the diverse activities supporting the mission. The vast majority of FaithQuest programs are accomplished by recruiting inspiring and equipping volunteers in the local church who in turn work with not only us and their churches but also serve and give directly to the Christian missions and relief organizations we have introduced to them to. We celebrate that this serving and giving does not need to happen all through FaithQuest and that our role is to be a catalyst for Kingdom-action widely through churches and organizations everywhere. The total program service expenses for 2025 were 231,726 including total grants of 9,738 on total revenue of 281,128.
