The IMB is an effective organization.
The IMB is supported primarily through the LMCO. The funds go 100% to people in the field.
Field Personnel: 3,656 (Nov 11, 2019)
People groups engaged: 847
in 2018 the IMB (cause we haven't finished gathering the 2019 statistics)
engaged 847 people groups around the world
Trained 18,428 pastors around the world
helped plant 13,898 churches around the world

The IMB is an effective use of money.
Our money can go further overseas than it can here
