Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Sharing Christ's Passion for the world by serving the most vulnerable through national churches and leaders.

  • Equipping the Church - ServeNow actively partners with churches, pastors, and leaders in 25+ countries worldwide. Most of these are in poorer, remote, slum like areas where training and access to resources is limited or non-existent. ServeNow provides these churches and leaders with bibles, scripture resources, and training in a series of discipleship and leadership material over 8 years, so they can systematically instruct their congregations. In the last fiscal year, there were 2,867 pastor conferences representing 17,138 church partnerships. 396,195 Basic Series books were printed, with 435,698 being distributed within the same fiscal year. 62,198 bibles and other Scripture resources were also distributed. 353 bicycles for pastors with no other means of transportation were given out. Primarily through a video program called The Road to Paradise, but also through other online efforts, we reached 111,465,195 with the Gospel message. We saw 17,136 people come to faith in Jesus.

    Expenses $897,430 · Grants $339,183 · Revenue $625,386

  • Educating for Eternity - The second pillar of ServeNow provides education and tutoring opportunities for disadvantaged children, skill-training for at risk women, and micro-enterprise projects for poor families or vulnerable individuals. Through several centers in two countries in Asia, activities for kids in Ukraine, and sponsored children being provided an education in multiple countries in Africa, we served 19,977 children. We had five building construction projects revolving around children's education. 1,271 women were trained through tailoring, cosmetology, baking, and computer classes. 9,395 people benefitted from micro-enterprise projects. 94,088 people went through awareness training on social issues such as human trafficking, child abuse, and women's rights.

    Expenses $888,395 · Grants $572,368 · Revenue $750,588

  • Outstretched Hands - The third pillar of ServeNow addresses people's immediate, urgent, physical, and tangible basic needs to demonstrate God's love in action. Over 3,859 people were provided some form of war relief in Ukraine from help with home repairs, and other humanitarian needs. Three forty-foot medical containers were provided with hospital beds, medical equipment, and wheelchairs. Two went to Ukraine and one to Iraq. 1,642 people were served via medical aid, 3,350 people benefitted from clean water, mosquito nets, persecution relief etc. 175,920 people were provided with food and clothing aid, 46,227 refugees were served, and 2,548 people were helped with other disaster relief needs.

    Expenses $1,197,202 · Grants $246,228 · Revenue $663,382

  • Ministry Coordination - ServeNow USA provides partnership, ministry, leadership, and project support as part of its program services worldwide. Often coordinating with key National Leaders, our support allows them to hire competent national staff, which thereby also supports the local community in these countries. In a few countries we work with partner organizations to carry out our mission.
