What Waymaker International Ministries does
Mission
WayMaker International Ministries is an inter-denominational mission organization committed to leading Christians in sharing Jesus Christ with the world, encouraging believers, and ministering to the international community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Waymaker International Ministries creates opportunities for Christian volunteers to employ their gifts and talents in sharing their faith. We enlisted 65 college students to share their musical talents and faith with asylum seekers and the local population through concerts, sports, cultural exchange, shared meals, and sharing their faith. These 65 students impacted the lives of over 400 refugees and asylum seekers as well as bringing faith-based music concerts and testimonies with over 400 Greeks.
$91,853 spent74% of program spendingWaymaker International Ministries runs a ministry center called Hope House - a center that offers hospitality and a safe emotional and spiritual space for asylum seekers and refugees. Within the Hope House, asylum seekers have access to internet, refreshments, weekly meals, Bible studies, prayer, encouragement, bus tickets, and English classes at no cost. As part of these programs, we helped provide travel and lodging to 6 different Bible teachers who were native Farsi and Arabic speakers in order to minister to refugees in their own languages. During 2023, Hope House served over 5,000 asylum seekers from multiple countries throughout Africa and the Middle East.

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 $31k to $92k (+193%).
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 WAYMAKER INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
