As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs

Bibles are distributed to church leaders, evangelists, refugees, children, new believers, and seekers in areas of the world where being a christian can cost everything. To most christians, the bible is their most valuable possession. In 2024 frontlines international distributed more than 150,000 bibles in various formats.

We do this by connecting the church in the west with persecuted christians. This is carried out by telling their stories via church briefings, partner meetings, and prayer newsletters. In 2024 frontlines sent out 52 weekly prayer alerts as well as quarterly newsletters to partners. These communications highlight the needs of suffering believers so they can become aware and pray. Frontlines also provides opportunities for church members in the west to meet face-to-face with persecuted christians through our traveler program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $1.1M to $1.8M (+59%).
How it's funded, over time
