End of Year Statement (2025)
From the Office of The Prelate
To the Membership and Ministry
February 10, 2026
“May God continue with us; leading, guiding, protecting, and providing, through His Agape Love, in the name of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.“
I make this report to the Membership, the Ministries, and our Affiliated Missions worldwide, as is our tradition, after the closing of the year and it’s required filings.
The numbers contained within this year’s report, are the raw numbers that only tell a portion of what has been done throughout this past year, by the grace of God, through individual effort, and the willing hands of a called few to do the work of ministry even in the midst of sacrifice.
Through these few, we have done many things. Through this little given, much has been accomplished. “God be praised!”
The operational deficit (absorbed personally by the prelate) reported on page 1 of the report [Linked], was forecasted as a result of an internal audit early in 2025, that weighed the historic needs of the ministries and missions in addition to the requests for new assistance, through additional programs scheduled to be implemented in their areas abroad, against the current intake rate of benevolence, fees, and tuition; noting that the benevolence rate has again fallen off, with no foreseeable increase of tuition, or otherwise, to offset the reduction.
The result led to the decision to pause all “programmed” funding of the ministries and missions, both domestic and abroad, and shift the assistance to an “as necessary” system once again, that is initiated by request directly to the Office of Prelate. Decisions to fund, after this change was made, are now made solely based on “funds on hand” and disbursed accordingly. We pray God will provide an increase that will allow a sufficiency that we can budget and forecast planned expenditures to the missions once again, that they might grow and become more effective.
Much of what we had accomplished in past years, was left undone in this year.
Additionally, the membership numbers reported for 2025 are a result of an audit called for by the Prelature, after a purge of old / inactive membership records was completed by the Administrative Director in June of 2025.
We pray for giving and generous, hearts, and hands, to be added to the membership this year, so that we can not just recover wholly, but to move forward into serving many, with much and much more.
