The Nuba refugee children are denied access to government schools and medical care. IFI's employee built and began operating a school providing education for these children. The school facility continues to expand gradually, to accomodate more students. In this way funds designated to this service are used to practically show the love of Jesus to a marginalized people. This is one example of how IFI impacts the world through students, formerly served by IFI while in the US, who then return home with a vision to share the love of Jesus. 127300 31613 1635412 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false true 20 0 false 44 true false false false false false false false true 1 false false false false false false false false false false X 11 10 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false IL IN NY OH TX VA X X X X Don Hayes 6142942434 1520 Old Henderson Rd Ste 200 Columbus OH 43220 Jim Trzcinski Chairman 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Stenger Vice President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Sanders Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mindy Lambert Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rafael E Villalobos Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Wynia Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rod Crane Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Mendola Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 113674 0 0 Rick Negley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sophia Chang Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Harry Anderson Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan deVries Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Sulc Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hong Frances Teng Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ken Barker COO 16.00 0.00 X 22097 0 0 Don Hayes CFO 40.00 0.00 X 62160 0 0 197931 1 false false false 0 141837 2306575 80000 2448412 Campus Ministry 900099 11850 11850 Student Trips 900099 27368 27368 Volunteer Training 900099 4245 4245 43463 6016 6016 0 0 68504 47069 21435 21435 21435 1500750 1438379 62371 62371 -440 -4460 67271 141837 36562 -36562 0 0 Event Sponsor Advertising 900099 3000 3000 Refund of BWC premiums 900099 9874 9874 Reimbursed utilities 900099 3024 3024 4353 3167 1186 20251 2565386 65104 -274 88706 0 0 108244 108244 0 197931 34102 152462 11367 0 1326035 1039718 97763 188554 0 16441 11576 2708 2157 111668 84568 18391 8709 42910 16025 23910 2975 10364 9692 672 19885 19885 0 0 0 50392 30628 4618 15146 33000 14020 1486 17494 37185 22248 9232 5705 15059 7024 7389 646 0 17969 11150 6498 321 120695 91114 1348 28233 0 29013 25326 1438 2249 8427 8427 0 14209 8913 4786 510 11233 1661 9572 Hospitality & Meals 76295 67322 1150 7823 Merchant & Bank Fees 19400 17651 1749 Ministry Events & Activities 17261 17183 78 Materials & Books 13012 11773 1239 6510 5474 1036 2303138 1635412 374520 293206 488177 89742 1629750 0 737 759 0 0 0 0 18377 25103 190444 66379 1298696 124065 0 0 0 0 0 1805987 1869419 77181 86289 223095 45957 61128 346233 147417 X 1454754 1665251 5000 56751 1459754 1722002 1805987 1869419 262248 X false true X true false X 1638320 1665671 1818715 2077380 2448412 9648498 0 0 1638320 1665671 1818715 2077380 2448412 9648498 0 9648498 1371 1573 452 395 6016 9807 0 0 9658305 0.99900 0.99930 X 22136 22136 92382 5071 87311 75926 61308 14618 124065 Accrued Expenses & Liabilities 61128 61128 2586646 83631 83631 2503015 62371 62371 2565386 2386769 83631 83631 2303138 2303138 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Net Rental Expense with Income $47069 Net Schedule G Banquet Expenses $36562 Part XI, Line 4b: Other revenue amounts included on 990 but not included in F/S Gain on Sale of Property (net) $62371 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Banquet Exp shown on Schedule G $36562 Rental Expense included in Income $47069 true Sub-Saharan Africa 0 1 Children's Ministry Provide Education 108244 1 1 108244 108244 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Regular reports are made by the IFI employee in East Africa, including receipts for expenses.
