The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

We review the charity's most recent IRS Form 990 to see if the charity has reported any diversion of assets.

Adaptability Statement
30 out of 30 points
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
Founded in 1997, globalLead has trained over 28,000 Christian ministry leaders from 50 different countries around the globe. Our mission takes a unique approach of focusing on the exponential multiplication of impact by skipping the step of sending a foreign missionary. We focus on developing local, indigenous leaders so that they can reach and disciple others in their sphere of influence. This approach has enabled a huge global movement to occur with relatively low financial costs.
Over the last year, we have pivoted to increase our impact worldwide by developing an online training system, transporting our server files into Microsoft Sharepoint for greater collaboration, and fostered multiple opportunities to work with other pastor trainers.
