What East-West Ministries International does
Mission
Evangelizing & equipping nationals to establish grace-oriented churches.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.
Program
Evangelize: God has faithfully provided creative means by which to move forward in taking the gospel to unreached peoples throughout the world. East-West Ministries is scattering the seeds of the gospel through various avenues: short-term teams, nationals who have been trained in evangelism, national churches, and mass evangelism projects. All of our evangelism efforts include a clear, concise gospel presentation with a challenge for the hearer of the Word to take an action step of asking for forgiveness and accepting Jesus as their Savior. See Schedule O for continuation.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

From the IRS filings of East-West Ministries International’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 173 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
East-West Ministries International has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
84% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund East-West Ministries International.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 28% · 2018 37% · 2019 37% · 2020 27% · 2021 31% · 2022 31% · 2023 25% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
53% of East-West Ministries International's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 61% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
75% of East-West Ministries International's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $9.3M that is directly attributable, 53% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 23 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $28M arriving through sponsors registered in 18 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
