What Far Reaching Ministries Aviation Inc does
Mission
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation, Inc. is dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission given in Matthew 28:19-20: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HolySpirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. We sent a Cessna Grand Caravan into Uganda in order to facilitate movement of missionaries, aid workers and humanitarian relief materials into remote, dangerous or inaccessible villages in Northeastern Africa. Our plane is operated by Mission Aviation Fellowship every week and assists multiple Christian and secular NGO workers. We establish outreaches for widows, orphans and vulnerable, suffering people that are largely neglected. We operate in nations all over the world, but the majority of our work is in Africa.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Rabuna Fi: Mean God is here in the common colloquial dialect in South Sudan and is the name of our Womens Discipleship outreach program. We have 7 weekly meetings in villages within South Sudan and Uganda, women learn how to study the scripture, the importance of giving Christ preeminence in their daily choices and actions and they learn to share their growing faith with others. Our group leaders are now actively starting new discipleship groups and reaching a wider audience. We welcome anyone with a desire to learn more about the Bible to our groups, regardless of denomination. We also offer studies and Bibles in the local languages to facilitate better understanding and application.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $2.9M to $5.0M (+70%).
How it's funded, over time

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $6 → $18.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $3.7M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Far Reaching Ministries). These are real filings, and they are not money Far Reaching Ministries Aviation Inc raised.

How concentrated its funding is
Far Reaching Ministries Aviation Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Far Reaching Ministries Aviation Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of Far Reaching Ministries Aviation Inc'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
