| Primary Exempt Purpose | Spring of Water (SOW) International Ministries is a non-profit religious organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We received IRS determination letter on July 15, 2011 as a public charity under the code section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Being a Protestant Christian organization, the ultimate purpose of SOW is to preach the gospel of Jesus' salvation to the areas where Christianity is one of the least represented minority religions. We accomplish this purpose by engaging in the following two kinds of activities: (1) We produce multimedia Biblical and Christian education contents (such as DVD videos) in Chinese and English to teach the Biblical truths and the gospel of Jesus' salvation; we will provide such Biblical teaching materials to Christian mission organizations free of charge so they can use them in the mission field. We will also make such Biblical teaching materials available to individuals to build up Christian faith and to enable them to personal evangelizat | PrimaryExemptPurpose |
