What Frontline Missions Inc does
Mission
Frontline missions actively develops and cultivates dynamic partnerships within the global church to empower and equip leaders to reach their nations for christ. Instead of arriving at a community with our preconceived notions, frontline missions seeks out the community leaders and strategizes to discover root issues and goals that will have the most impact on the community. Through creative solutions such as bible storying, leadership training and economic development, entire communities encounter the transformative power of the gospel. We believe this approach honors the individuals and leaders in the community, builds lasting relationships, and sustains results over generations.

Programs
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. Now there is a shining community of believers and the first true tolupan church has been birthed in this mountainous area of honduras. Over the years, our goal in flower mountain has been to see transformation through demonstrating the love of god and presenting the gospel of jesus christ, which has power to change lives and cultures. We have built trusting relationships with the chiefs, leaders, and the tolupan people. We have sought means of empowering them in their journey to serve their people and followed through in a variety of ways--from providing school supplies and tuition for their children, college sponsorship for their teachers, a coffee economy for their main agricultural product, an artisan development program, construction projects, and medical and dental clinics. Joy now shines from the tolupan people and their children. Because of…

We marvel at the faithfulness of god as we grow our relationships with multiple indigenous tribes. We are honored to empower them to reach unreached and unengaged villages to take the gospel of jesus christ to places open only to the indigenous. This is their heart and dream. Some, such as the ingarico, walk for days, loaded with food and supplies to various villages throughout brazil, venezuela, and guyana. Fathers, mothers, and children together cross rivers, hike through difficult terrain, and set up camp nightly. When reaching new villages, the leader talks to the chief and finds the man or woman of peace. They lead worship and share the gospel to the village through storying and showing the jesus film, using solar-powered equipment. When those that come to salvation have need of a church, the ingarico leader uses his own resources to build a church together with the people in their community. Meanwhile, the lord has also connected us…

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. Five years later, evangelical chrstian college (ecc) of nepal has fifty-seven students with graduates who have started nine churches throughout nepal--with five started within the last year we are the main support to this college. Within the last year, we traveled extensively through difficult terrain to five of the newly birthed churches to encourage the recently graduated leaders, dedicated one of the graduates' new churches, provided transportation for leaders in remote areas, and held conferences which we funded that were attended by about 450 people. We also supplied 17 sewing machines for women who had completed ecc's tailoring training outreach, which empowers underprivileged women and allows them to provide for their otherwise destitute families. The students of evangelical christian college serve on our weekly international zoom prayer…

The liberating and transformational power of the good news of jesus christ leads us on our path. Using mission teams to assist with feedings, medical clinics, dental clinics, church construction, evangelism, discipling and training leaders, gospel outreach to indigenous tribes, enables us to share that powerful love of christ. Frontline missions partners with various american churches, schools, and individuals in sending missionary teams to accomplish these goals. Our central and south american directors coordinate the national aspects of the missions with the american teams, as our headquarters oversees these projects. These mission trips are life-changing learning experiences for all willing to go; allowing them to build relationships, grow spiritually, and to work closely with other people groups. In areas that are more remote, frontline is proud to partner with other national and indigenous missionaries who are able to go further down into the unreached and unengaged indigenous…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2021 to 2022, from $277k to $212k (−24%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
72% of FRONTLINE MISSIONS INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income fell $381k → $183k.
6 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 99% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of FRONTLINE MISSIONS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 7 of 8 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
FRONTLINE MISSIONS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 92% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% 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 FRONTLINE MISSIONS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 93% · 2022 91% · 2023 78% — 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.
Where its funders are
99% of FRONTLINE MISSIONS 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. Of the $17k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Georgia funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
