What IBMGlobal does

IBMGlobal (legally Indigenous Biblical Ministries Global), founded in 1995 and headquartered in Epsom, New Hampshire, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit mission agency that facilitates the sending of missionaries by local churches. The organization serves two primary customer segments: 43 commissioning churches — predominantly Baptist and evangelical congregations seeking infrastructure to train, deploy, and care for cross-cultural missionaries — and 82 individual missionaries serving in 17 countries across North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Its service stack comprises four core product lines: missionary mobilization and pre-field training; financial and logistical administration (contribution receipting, personalized accounting, support-schedule development, quarterly tax payments, international health insurance, and retirement plan management); strategic ministry advice delivered through regional field advisors; and comprehensive member care including soul care, global safety/security, emergency management, visa assistance, and missionary kid support. Vision Mission Trips to Chile and Zambia and an Educational Apprenticeship program serve as a top-of-funnel experiential channel for prospective long-term missionaries.

The organization generates revenue through three streams: recurring donations from individual donors (with preset monthly tiers of $25, $50, $100, $200, and $500), recurring support from commissioning churches, and administrative service fees of 10% on personal missionary support and 5% on approved special projects. Designated fundraising campaigns — including a $225,914 Building Fund, a $70,000 Spring Partnership Campaign, and a $238,900 End-of-Year Giving goal — provide additional targeted inflows. Underwriting is supplemented by a 4–6 month Emergency Fund reserve, a Future Growth Fund, and a Vision Mission Trip Fund launching January 2026. Distribution is relationship-driven: direct partnerships with commissioning churches, dedicated field advisors in Africa (Philip Hunt) and Europe (Tyler Masters), and short-term mission experiences form the GTM motion. In 2024, IBMGlobal purchased its first dedicated office building at 1033 Suncook Valley Highway, marking a milestone in organizational permanence after its 2021 incorporation as an autonomous nonprofit and 2020 leadership transition from founder Larry Clouse to current President Jamie Smith. The organization is not a technology company; no proprietary software, API, or AI capability is offered, and the technology stack is administrative rather than product-facing.
