Form 990, Part VI, Section b, Line 12a The organization is often reminded that all efforts to reach the world for Christ must be done with integrity and honesty. All potential conflicts of interest are resolved and it is the goal of all concerned to be above reproach on all ministry matters. The conflict of interest policy presently in place with the organization is the same policy recommended by the organizations CPA which is consistent with the sample policy provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a Compensation package to Rev. Hetland is annually approved by the Board of Trustees. Form 990, Part VIII, Line 1d The organization has a related 501c3 ministry called Leif Hetland Ministries. In reality, Global Mission Awareness was created to help mission work throughout the world while Leif Hetland Ministries was created primarily to reach souls for Christ in America. However, over time, many conferences, revivals, mission trips, etc. would have the same speakers, etc. so there is a constant relationship between the two entities to further enhance their mission for Christ. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Rev. Leif Hetland and Jennifer Hetland are a husband/wife team in evangelism. The other members of the board are not related to the Hetlands. It is not unusual for Mrs. Hetland to be asked to speak at various meetings. Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e During the year, Global Mission Awareness GMA provided assistance to individuals worldwide who faced persecution, been affected by natural disasters, experienced temporary or permanet displacement, or struggling with food insecurity and famine through Crisis Relief and Urgent Needs. This would include relief for communities affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria and the devastating floods in Pakistan. Additionally, GMA supported Ukranian refugees with food and shelter. The total expenditure for this ministry was 7,897 Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e During the year, GMA assisted local pastors and churches in Cuba. Lighthouses are Kingdom communities of house churches, youth groups, and private-owned businesses that embody and demonstrate the gospel of the Kingdom and its values. In 2023, GMA supported the communities by providing leadership training, necessities like food, water, generators, and cell phones, and funding to purchase a large training center. The total expenditure for this ministry was 69,851 Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e During the year, GMA ministered in Pakistan equiping and empowering individual believers and churches. Through formal education, students can graduate with an associate, bachelors, or masters degree in ministry, biblical studies, or music. GMA Pakistan also partners with strategic national Interfaith, Peace, and Harmony gatherings to influence next generation leaders through collaborative efforts toward personal and community transformation and peace initiatives. In 2023, GMA purchased two new buildings for the theological seminary and music college, hosted 2 interfaith gatherings and 1 local church leader conference, and funded feeding programs in poor communities. The total expenditure for this ministry was 143,782. Form 990, Part IX, Line 24d The GMA Team visited Cuba in May with 19 people and again in September with 35 people. The purpose of the mission trips were to encourage local church leaders and missionaries, minister to the sick and needy, and distribute food and basic necessities. We also hosted a worship leader conference in May and a church leader conference in September. Form 990, Part IX, Line 24d In August, the GMA Team made a mission trip to Pakistan in order to encourage local church leaders and congregations through several conferences and church services, meet with Interfaith and government leaders to discuss common bridges to establishing peace between faiths, and hosted meetings with local Muslim leaders to discuss Christian communities. Rev. Hetland and one other person made this mission trip. Form 990, Part IX, Line 24d In late November and early December, the GMA Team attended the annual Kingdom Family Gathering event in the Philippines with ministers, leaders, and missionaries from Southeast Asia. The team also encouraged ministry leaders, ministered to the sick and needy and encouraged believers during outreaches to remote villages across the Philippines. The team passed out food and basic necessities as they visited with members of rural villages. 22 people made this mission trip. Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 For the last several years 2021 and 2022, a CPA in Columbus, GA Todd Hammonds prepared the Federal Form 990. On are about November 10, Rev and Mrs. Hetland heard for the first time that Todd had passed away several months before. Forunately, Todd had applied for an extension back in May. Since its inception back in 2000, Jerry Scarborough CPA had prepared the 990 annually, but he began to pass off his clients due to his age. When the Hetlands realized the potential trouble they were in, they contacted Jerry and he agreed to help with the 2023 Form 990. After his review, Jerry realized that an error had obviously been made on either the 2021 or 2022 return because the fund balance was overstated by exactly 84,279. Mr. Scarborough went to speak with a bookkeeper at Mr. Hammonds office to see if records for prior years might be available to give some insight to the error. No records were available. Accordingly, an adjustment is respectfully made in this return to bring the fund balance in line with the book balance, which is correct.
