What ABWE Global Inc. does

ABWE Global Inc. operates as ABWE Canada, a registered Canadian charity (CRA Registration Number 81550 0558 RR0001) headquartered at 34 – 980 Adelaide St S, London, Ontario. The organization is the Canadian arm of the broader ABWE (Associated Protestant Biblical Fellowship) global family of ministries, whose missionary sending work traces back to the 1860s. ABWE Canada functions as a Christian missions sending agency: it assists Canadian churches in fulfilling the Great Commission by recruiting, training, supporting, and deploying long-term and mid-term missionaries to more than 70 countries, with 923 workers reaching 92 nations globally as reported in the 2025 Annual Report.

The organization operates a portfolio of integrated ministry brands rather than a single product. Core services include missionary support services (training, IT, administration, member care, mobilization, church relations), donor services (receipting, financial stewardship), the Good Soil Evangelism & Discipleship curriculum, the Every Ethne local-church resource, the Afghan Initiative (diaspora ministry with Every Ethne and Live Global), the Open Toronto Initiative (domestic unreached-people-group ministry launched 2023), and the Message Magazine publication. The underlying technology stack is modest: a WordPress-based website (abwe.ca), Converge/Elavon payment processing for online donations, Canada Helps as a third-party donation channel, and Link Charity for planned giving partnerships. No proprietary software, AI systems, or technology platform of meaningful complexity is disclosed.

The revenue model is donation-driven rather than commercial. Revenue streams from charitable contributions by individuals, churches, and organizations via one-time, recurring monthly, planned giving (wills, trusts, annuities), credit card, cheque, bank withdrawal, e-transfer, and stocks/securities. A 3.5% financial services charge is applied to donations, and a $250 CAD monthly administrative fee is charged per missionary account. Go-to-market is sales-led through donor relationships, church partnerships, and direct missionary recruitment, supported by digital content marketing (blog, Message Magazine, social media on Facebook/X/Instagram, email newsletters). All programs are concentrated under a Christian missions value proposition centered on reaching unreached people groups.
