What it says it does

Spring Rain International is a Christian ministry and humanitarian organization. Our charitable activities take place both outside the USA and inside the USA. Outside the USA we train and equip native Christian leaders, we strengthen local Christian congregations, we provide physical care and education to impoverished children, and we help local leaders carry out works of compassion in needy areas. In the USA we educate individuals and organizations about international Christian work, and we help USA churches prepare candidates for cross-cultural ministry. Spring Rain International may also from time to time make small monetary donations to other 501c3 publicly supported charities who share our vision and values and are doing similar work around the world.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
