Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
Our mission is to carry the gospel of hope to the world with discipleship as our primary objective. We do this through the planting and establishing of churches, Bible schools, small groups, and one-to-one relationships. We desire to minister to the vulnerable and afflicted, as well as helping all in dire need. We begin by bringing aid to meet physical needs while, most importantly, fulfilling their spiritual needs with the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. We train and equip missionaries in the United States, empowering them to fulfill the calling on their lives and exercise their unique gifts given to them by our Father in heaven. These missionaries can train and equip indigenous believers in other nations to fulfill the Great Commission given to the church by Jesus Christ. Every believer is called to be an Ambassador for Jesus Christ and when we all accept this calling and begin to share the truth, we can reach even the uttermost ends of this earth.
-
Ghost Operations: Ghost Operations was designed to meet the unique challenges and dangers associated with bringing the gospel into countries closed to religious teaching, to war torn nations, areas dominated by human traffickers or cartels and places where persecution for believers is known to be extreme. We sponsor hundreds of missionaries, pastors, and evangelists through two organizations established to train and equip servants in these areas. We raise and send funds to meet the monthly needs of these believers and we provide ongoing humanitarian relief. We currently have programs in Ukraine, Myanmar, Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria, Egypt and others. We endeavor to safeguard the identity of all our partners because the threat of persecution and even death is very real. We also rescued over 2,000 people when Afghanistan collapsed.
Expenses $3,174,130 · Grants $802,833
-
Children of War: This programs provides aid, education, medical support and spiritual instruction to vulnerable children. We operate projects for victims rescued from sex traffickers, support for abandoned or orphaned children and we intervene with poor children in imminent danger. We currently have projects in Africa and South America and we provide emergency services in Eastern Europe and Asia for victims of war.
Expenses $3,107,499 · Grants $2,450,507
-
Christ for a continent: Far Reaching Ministries founded a Chaplaincy Corps in 1998 and began spreading the Hope of Jesus Christ to the war torn country of Sudan. In 2011, South Sudan gained its independence from Sudan and we continued our strengthening of the chaplaincy corps. We also purchased an airplane that services multiple countries in East Africa in partnership with Mission Aviation Fellowship and Far Reaching Ministries Aviation. Our chaplains began planting churches all over South Sudan and to date we have built over 25 new church structures. In addition, we plant churches in Uganda, Kenya, Congo, our vision is to equip national pastors and chaplains to reach the entire continent for Jesus Christ.

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.
