GOSPEL BROADCASTING IN PORTUGUESE 

THE MAIN OBJECT IS THE ADVANCEMENT OF RELIGION THROUGH BROADCASTING THE CHRISTIAN GOSPEL IN PORTUGUESE. THIS IS TO BE BY MEANS OF THE DISSEMINATION OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH THE MEDIA OF RADIO, INTERNET, TAPE, COMPACT DISC, LITERATURE, MISSIONARIES AND MISSIONARY WORK IN THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
