Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To equip and train oral people to make disciples who experience God through His Word in their own heart language and culture.

  • The Organization specializes in training non-western oral learners through an Oral Bible, a collection of stories from the Bible that are told face-to-face and memorized. These training methods have proven very effective for evangelism, discipleship, and multiplication of disciple making and church planting movements among the least-reached people in non or semi-literate people groups.During 2025, 23,191 workers were trained in 769 events in 30 countries and 32 languages. About 78% of these training events were held without SIU funding. Additionally, 3,106 new local trainers and 845 new master trainers were trained to train others in the SIU Bridges model. (see Schedule O for continuation)Through these trainings, 6,742 new local church planters were equipped to plant Oral Bible Churches.During 2025, the Organization's network of international partners reported 36,502 new believers and 4,425 new Churches planted. This 2025 reporting also included 134 Bridges for Women training events held around the world with 6,376 women in attendance.In cumulative total, since collecting from Jan. 2008 forward, the Organization's international partners have reported 617,142 new believers and 119,980 new Churches planted. The total number of Bridges training events held during this timeframe is 19,854. These numbers are conservative as some of the Organization's partners are unable to report due to difficult and challenging circumstances. In the midst of the challenges faced each year, we work with our partners to provide timely, accurate, and conservative reporting.

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. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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 13 October 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.
