Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Our vision is to bring about worldwide transformation through empowered believers sharing their faith. To do this we develop and mobilize Christian leaders within their circles of influence by developing and disseminating world-class, values-based, relationship-driven programs and content to believers in every nation.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To provide biblical leadership training and resources to Christian leaders around the globe.

  • Leadership Innovation: Our Leadership Innovation program is for those who have a heart to help others grow in their personal and leadership growth journey by becoming a Beyond Success Facilitator. The journey starts with taking part in the Beyond Success Tables. After the 7-session training, the attendees are able to be part of the facilitator training and have access to all of the materials need to begin their own Beyond Success tables.

    Expenses $6,317,832 · Grants $5,050,334

  • Beyond Success: Our Beyond Success program is an outreach from believers to those within their circles of influence, often within the business community. We train local influencers to conduct Beyond Success tables with other leaders and acquaintances. Beyond Success tables offer a highly accessible pathway to personal improvement as well as an opportunity to hear John C. Maxwell share his faith. We have seen the effectiveness of this strategy throughout the world. People's lives are improving as they apply the personal growth and leadership development principles and many thousands have come to Christ.

The first 25 listed. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.
