Impact
Targets and results are two different things.
A target is a statement of intent. A result is something that happened and can be evidenced. Most misleading impact reporting comes from putting them in the same table.

When a figure appears above it will carry its definition, date range, geography, method and evidence status — self-reported, VOG-verified, or independently verified with the verifier named.
Reporting areas
Six areas, reported separately
Leadership outcomes
Participants, graduates and commissioned leaders — three different numbers, never merged.
OpenBusinesses and jobs
Enterprises built and employment created, measured without intrusive personal-finance reporting.
OpenSystems and policy
Institutional contribution, attributed honestly rather than claimed.
OpenChurches
Supported, planted and established — counted only against approved health criteria.
OpenPastoral support
Aggregate counts only. No recipient is ever named or made identifiable.
OpenReports and definitions
Every term we publish, defined before any figure appears against it.
Open
Evidence status
Every figure is labelled
- Self-reported
- The figure comes from what participants or churches told us. Useful, and not independent.
- VOG-verified
- We have checked the underlying records against a documented method.
- Independently verified
- An external party verified it, and we name the verifier.
