Programs described in its return (3)
- $308,405 spent. God's Daily Word Ministries operates and financially supports a Christian school in Mathare, Nairobi, Kenya, providing education, daily meals, school supplies, teacher salaries, utilities, and facility expenses for approximately 370 students from preschool through Grade 9. The ministry also provides scholarships for approximately 45 secondary students, supports selected community assistance projects, and provides oversight and administration of all ministry activities through its Kenya operations.
- $34,705 spent. Daily devotional internet ministry. This portion of the ministry includes sending out daily devotional material through email as well as posting material on ministry web site and social media page. Ministry occurs through direct email communication initiated by recipients of the devotional material - most often through questions or requests for prayer. Expenses include direct expenses of web site and email services.
- We really only maintain two main functions of the ministry. The first is related to the Africa school and the other is internet services. The only other program service would be the administration necessary for these functions. This expense is reflected in the other service project reports.
