Activities or mission (Part I)

PPM exists to build up encourage and assist the local Church in reaching and serving their communities for Christ. Primary activities include planning and leading international and domestic mission trips in accordance with this mission as well as operating a 365 day a year encouragement and assistance program for partner churches and pastor via PPMs localized staff and programs pastors conferences trainings emergency response. In addition PPM plays a critical role for communities in the aftermath of natural disasters by providing support to and through church partners. Through the generous donations of our network we meet the physical needs identified by our partners on the ground. Throughout the recovery process PPM also provides support through our volunteers that provide countless hours of debris cleanup rebuilding roof replacement food distribution prayer ministry and more.

  • In 2023 Praying Pelican Missions PPM built up encouraged and assisted over 500 local community partners ie. local churches and non-profit ministries in accomplishing their mission. These partners spanned throughout 34 locations both in the United States 22 and Internationally 12. Via over 11,400 short-term missionary volunteers approximately 67 year-round staff and over 200 seasonal staff PPM was able to assist these partners in meeting vital needs within their communities. PPM mission teams assisted in hurricane recovery and relief homeless care ministries childrens ministries community outreach sports programs and more. As a part of this effort PPM facilitated mission trip logistics for over 550 unique mission groups; including arranging meals lodging and transportation for each team that served. Note: Domestic teams serving in the lower 48 states generally arranged their own transportation to ministry sites. PPM staff were also assigned to lead each group spending between six and twelve months preparing for each trip through phone and in-person consultations. Significant time and resources were also invested in preparing for these teams through networking and investing in trusted host partners and ministries in each location.

    Expenses $8,380,050 · Revenue $9,956,266

  • PPM365 is a continuous effort to build up encourage and assist the local Church 365 days a year. By sponsoring a churchs involvement in this program pastors and ministry leaders receive local support training and encouragement leading to transformed communities in the name of Christ. Three areas of focus work in unison to accomplish this intentional effort. Church: The Local Church is the catalyst for reaching our world for Christ. It is Gods master plan - to use His people to love and serve our world sharing the Good News of grace by faith to all people. Pastor: An investment in a pastor is an investment in the Church. When pastors are healthy both spiritually and physically they are most able to lead a healthy vibrant congregation. Community: Communities benefit when the local church is thriving. From support and care to meeting physical needs; a healthy Church is vital to a community.

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.
