Programs described in its return (3)
- $145,212 spent. Work of the Director of Ministy - as per mission statement above, to challenge and assist the church to fulfill this task with particular focus on the USA and neighboring countries. He visits churches that invite him to share about the work of CWINA in the USA and explains the church's responsibility towards Jewish people who first brought the Gospel to us. He is involved in training and developing resources for churches to use in their own Jewish evangelism. He has also taken on the role of compiling and printing our quarterly magazine. The above expenses relate to salary and all job related expenses such as travel and accommodation. No grants were given or received. The revenue consists solely of voluntary donations from churches and individuals within those churches to support this work.
- Other Program Services
- $38,856 spent. Work of our missionary. He is mainly focused on evangelization amongst Jewish people using various means and mediums, such as, but not limited to, street evangelism, friendship evangelism, and hosting events to which Jewish people are invited. He is also a preacher and raises support (voluntary contributions) through churches and individuals to help cover his costs. No grants were given or received. Revenue equates to the donations received specifically for his support, and expenses are for salary and costs incurred in his work. The missionary fulfills the mission statement - "evangelistic agency to proclaim the Good News of Jesus the Messiah to the Jewish people."
