MAHWAH, New Jersey, Feb. 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- On behalf of Charity Navigator, I wish to congratulate International Christian Ministries (ICM) of Bakersfield California on achieving our coveted 4-star rating for sound fiscal management.
As the nonprofit sector continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, savvy donors are demanding more accountability, transparency and quantifiable results from the charities they choose to support with their hard earned dollars. In this competitive philanthropic marketplace, Charity Navigator, America's premier charity evaluator, highlights the fine work of efficient charities such ICM, and provides donors with essential information needed to give them greater confidence in the charitable choices they make.
We are proud to announce International Christian Ministries has earned our 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances. Only 12% of the charities we've rated have received at least two consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that International Christian Ministries outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to operate in the most fiscally responsible way possible. This "exceptional" designation from Charity Navigator differentiates International Christian Ministries from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.
Over 24,000 people a day are being added to the church in Africa, which means roughly 400 new churches a day need 400 shepherds to train and equip these new believers. ICM is strategically place, with a large network across Africa of training centers, teachers, and material to equip pastors and church leaders. The leaders can learn on the job while they are shepherding the church. ICM is working in over 30 countries in Africa, training over 25,000 leaders who directly impact over 1,500,000 others.
ICM partners with other organizations to bring the best leadership material to Africa. A short list includes; A Purpose Driven Life, John Maxwell's Equip International, Walk Thru the Bible, and others. For more information: www.icmusa.org
