  1. $30,421 spent. Ministry Activities and Educational Outreach Kingdom Life Ministry fulfills its religious and educational purposes by developing and distributing resources that help individuals better understand the Bible's overall message and structure. A primary educational resource produced by the ministry is the book Navigating The Divine, which presents a thematic overview of Scripture and helps readers recognize the continuity of God's promises and their fulfillment through Jesus Christ. To increase accessibility, this teaching resource is being made available in multiple formats,including audio book, ebook, and downloadable PDF. To reach a broader international audience, the ministry is expanding the availability of this material through translation and distribution in several languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese. Additional language translations may be developed as ministry opportunities expand in other regions of the world. These materials are intended for use in Bible study settings, discipleship programs, and Christian educational environments, including churches, ministry training programs, and faith-based schools. By presenting the Bible as a unified narrative rather than a collection of isolated passages, these resources help readers gain a clearer understanding of the themes that run throughout Scripture and the fulfillment of God's covenant promises through Jesus Christ. Teaching, Mentoring, and Discipleship In addition to publishing educational materials, Kingdom Life Ministry participates in teaching and mentoring activities that support ministry training and spiritual development. Rex and Lois Burgher serve as instructors and mentors for students participating in the Christian Healing Certification Program (CHCP) associated with Global Awakening Ministry. In this role, they meet with and encourage students of the Global School of Ministry (GSM), located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, providing biblical instruction, encouragement, and mentoring to individuals preparing for ministry service. The ministry also provides discipleship opportunities through small-group gatherings and home fellowship meetings in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, region through LCMI. These gatherings include Bible study, prayer, and spiritual encouragement designed to help participants grow in their understanding of Scripture and strengthen their Christian faith. Through these educational activities, mentoring relationships, and discipleship gatherings, the ministry continues to carry out its purpose of helping individuals and churches deepen their understanding of the Bible and apply its teachings in daily life. Financial Support for Ministry Partnerships and Humanitarian Aid Kingdom Life Ministry also supports other charitable organizations whose work aligns with its religious and humanitarian objectives. Financial contributions are made to reputable ministries engaged in evangelism, ministry training, and humanitarian relief efforts. During the 2025 tax year, the ministry provided financial support to the following organizations: Global Awakening - $1,000contributed to assist with international ministry outreach and ministry training programs. Samaritan's Purse - $1,000contributed to support disaster relief efforts, humanitarian assistance, and evangelistic outreach in underserved regions.These contributions help extend the ministry's mission by supporting organizations engaged in both spiritual outreach and compassionate humanitarian service.
