What it says it does
Our mission is to lead 2.2 million people to Christ in the next ten years. We partner with local churches around the world to reach people of all nations with the life giving message of Jesus Christ. Some of the ways we accomplish this is through meeting the physical needs of the communities with food, medical services, social services, and making sure everyone hears the life changing message of love, hope, and life in Christ. We hold evangelistic outreaches and events for the purpose of reaching those without hope. In addition we encourage through speaking engagements, prayer, conferences, radio and television broadcasts.

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.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $21,585 spent. In 2025, Life for the Nations travelled to Spain, Brazil, and Colombia conducting evangelism crusades, kids outreaches, high school speaking events, and pastors and leadership conferences. Together with our volunteers and partner ministries over 20,000 people heard the gospel message and thousands responded by professing faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. These new believers were entrusted to dozens of local clergy and churches for the purpose of discipleship. Many people also testified of receiving various types of healing through faith and prayer. In addition, over one hundred pastors and leaders, and hundreds of congregants in three countries were ministered to, to help them continue in their calling and walk of faith.
