01

First Outreach

Honduras - the tolupan people: an explosion of god's grace frontline missions has been "boots on the ground" in flower mountain for over twenty years. From our first encounters with the tolupan people, a primitive indigenous tribe entrenched in darkness, we saw that they were hungry to know the true and living god.

Third Outreach

Nepal evangelical christian college: surprise encounters never underestimate surprise encounters. In 2019, a nepalese pastor happened upon a frontline missions prayer gathering at the atlanta airport. Upon sharing his vision for a bible college for the underprivileged, low- caste youth of his nation, we began a partnership.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
