What Serve the Global Church Inc does
Mission
To serve, strengthen, and support the ministry authority of partner Christian churches in the global South and East. Specifically including Bible translation into minority languages and compassionate response to local emergencies.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Bible translation training and technical support to start new translations for 332 New or Old Testament projects in 10 countries: Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, South Sudan, Zambia, Tanzania, and Uganda. The long-term objective is that these churches can translate, steward, and proclaim both the Old and New Testaments in their own language. During this year, 77 completed translating their entire New Testaments and 9 completed translating their entire Old Testaments.

As we are advancing Bible translation, we are committed to listening, and responding, to the local ministry priorities of our international church partners. Life in these countries is physically, socially, and spiritually difficult as our partners face simultaneous threats in each area. Our Bible translation partner in Uganda, Sudan, and Philippines established a revolving fund to assist with printing needs for completed translations. Our Bible translation partner in South Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo installed solar panels in remote locations to give Bible translation teams access to reliable electricity. In addition, Papua New Guinea and Tanzania received equipment and training to support the leadership of their teams. Uganda and India also conducted survey work to identify future needs.

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 2021 to 2022, from $416k to $251k (−40%).
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.
100% of SERVE THE GLOBAL CHURCH INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $89k → $343k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 90% 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 SERVE THE GLOBAL CHURCH INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
SERVE THE GLOBAL CHURCH INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
97% 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 SERVE THE GLOBAL CHURCH INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 55% · 2022 65% · 2023 58% — growing more concentrated.
“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
90% of SERVE THE GLOBAL CHURCH 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 $135k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Florida, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
