Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
Davar Audio Bibles' mission is to create opportunities for oral learners to fully experience the Bible in their home language.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Providing the recording of high quality audio Bibles in world languages for oral people groups.
-
Since its inception in 2009, the Organization has laid a global network of strategic ministry relationships with audio providers, technology suppliers, in-field ministries, prayer partners and funding partners. The primary vision of the Organization: With access to the recorded Word of God, families, tribes, and nations will live transformed for His glory. It is the Organization's mission to create opportunities for oral learners to fully experience the Bible in their home language. The Organization accomplishes this mission through program services described below: Missions Awareness and Outreach - The Organization helps connect and equip partners serving oral learning communities by (a) producing high quality recordings of audio scripture, (b) building awareness about the need for audio scripture to reach oral learners around the world, and (c) working along side international organizations to secure translations, identify people groups in need, and work with ministry partners to facilitate engagement and distribution of audio recordings to the remote regions of the world. In 2022 the Organization completed 88 recordings projects, which is a 83% increase from the prior year. During 2022 there was a 64% increase in chapter listens of Davar audio through our partnership with YouVersion/Bible.com. We also established new and growing partnerships throughout Africa, India and the Americas.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions
- The spouses of Board members and the Executive committee were invited to attended the donor / fundraising event held in Israel to engage with donors and their partners. The event was held during November 2022 to affirm Davar's vision and mission, communicate future prospects for 2023 and later years and to build relationships. It was a business trip and spouses were required to attend meetings and gatherings with donors and their spouses. Travel was provided for the spouses of Walter Mark Perkins - CEO and Brian R Smith - Board Chair in order for them to participate in the event. Because it was a business trip and spouses were required to attend meetings and gatherings with donors and their spouses, the travel costs were not included in taxable compensation.
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments
- The organization provided a non-fixed bonus in the amount of $35,000 and this bonus was independently determined and approved by the board.
Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
