| Description | Vision Africa's carefully structured process for planting churches has reaped tremendous results. First, community leaders recommend outstanding individuals as future pastors, whom Vision Africa trains. A neighboring church is chosen to plan, mentor, and support each pastor and his/her new congregation; Vision Africa typically launches it with a crusade and free medical mission. It takes $5000 to plant a church because the Vision Africa church created by indigenous people becomes self-sustaining after 6 months. Many of the earliest planted churches are now planting churches of their own! | Description |

| FORM 990 | Vision Africa is run almost exclusively by volunteers through a volunteer board of directors. This includes our Treasurer; Tax and Audit Manager; Communications Coordinator; Social Media Manager; Director of Development; and Event Coordinators. Thus, a greater percentage of all contributions are available and are applied to Programs, rather than administrative costs. Vision Africa has one paid employee, Bishop Sunday Onuoha, a paid third party bookkeeper for accounting/financial record keeping and a paid CPA firm for compliance and audit. Sunday's responsibilities are almost exclusively to implement Vision Africa programs in Nigeria, including (i) management of a faith based radio ministry in Nigeria, (ii) coordinating, planning and executing evangelism activities and church plantings in Nigeria, (iii) coordinating, planning, executing and conducting medical missions and disease prevention activities, (iv) coordinating, planning, conducting, and speaking and teaching at leadership development activities, (v) development of strategic partnerships with other organizations (including the United Nations, the Nigerian Methodist Church, the United States Agency for International Development, the Center for Inter-Faith Action, the Nigerian Inter-Faith Action Association, etc.) and (vi) peace and reconciliation initiatives. |
