Mission

The mission of Every Man A Warrior is to help fulfill Christs Great Commission found in the Bible, Matthew 28:18-20, by winning men to Christ and discipling them in their walk with Christ and other practical areas of Christian living. This is done via small groups.

  • In 2024 the ministry of Every Man A Warrior grew significantly both in the USA and around the world. In the USA more than 24,000 Bible study books were sold during the year. The ministry produced more videos, and now has the largest social media presence in EMAWs history. Also, the ministry has completed all the scripts based on EMAW books for radio broadcast around the world. Every Man A Warrior is also expanding around the world. The growth has been profound, and to get ready for future regional growth the ministry appointed a U.S. Director, a European Director, an African Director and a Finance Director. Around the world, the ministry has now sold over 325,000 study books into 65 countries and in 25 languages, impacting more than 85,000 men. In Taiwan, a graduation was held for 250 men who had completed all 3 books in the EMAW series. In 2024, new groups were launched in 12 countries, and the African prison ministry continues to grow.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
