Bethany Global, an international outreach ministry, offers some financial insights through an ECFA Member Profile page, but does not publicly file a Form 990. As a result, MinistryWatch places the ministry in the “Exercise Caution” category with a Donor Confidence Score of 51, and cannot be assigned a valid Financial Efficiency rating.

Formerly known as Bethany International, Bethany Global sends missionaries and resources to places with little or no access to the Gospel. The ministry says its goal is to equip and send intercultural disciple-makers “to bring Kingdom transformation to the nations.”
Operating in 60 nations, Bethany Global commits to three “Gs” to fulfill their mission: “Give—Every dollar given through Bethany Global reaches the frontline, resources, and communities where the Gospel is advancing. Grow—Through courses, masterclasses, and partnerships like The Chosen, we make training accessible to every person. Go—Short-term mission trips, discovery trips, and long-term commitments.”
Five Minnesota families started the ministry in 1946 as Bethany Fellowship Missionary Training Center with a vision of sending and supporting 100 missionaries. The group sold their homes and pooled their resources, getting a common residence in Minneapolis called “Bethany House.” They did this to reduce unnecessary work and expenses to support missions. They reached their goal in 1975.
Since then, the organization has started an accredited online school called Bethany Global University that offers ministry training. It also offers short and long term mission trips.
Without a public Form 990, very little is known about the financial growth or impact of Bethany Global. Financial transparency is a marker of a ministry’s stewardship of its resources. So while Bethany Global makes its Form 990 and audited financial statements available upon request, not having those documents easily accessible adds friction to the process of understanding where a ministry is financially. MinistryWatch has previously reported on the importance of a public Form 990.
Currently, the only public financial information for Bethany Global is on its ECFA Member Profile page. Finances from 2023, 2024 and 2025 show the ministry had revenues of $14.5 million, $11 million, and $12.25 million respectively and expenses of $14.96 million, $12.54 million and $7.8 million.
The most recent filing showed Bethany Global had more than $4.45 million in assets by the end of 2025, but that was the only year on record where revenue outpaced expenses.
MinistryWatch made multiple attempts to contact Bethany Global. It did not respond.
Bethany Global has a D Transparency Grade—the ministry is a member of the ECFA, but does not make its Form 990 or audited financial statements publicly available.
