Rhema Life Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on evangelical Christian outreach and relief organizations, funding international missions, disaster response, and ministry training. Grants are large and targeted, often supporting operational outreach activities and evangelistic programs rather than broad secular causes. The foundation favors established evangelical partners that conduct global mission work and theological training.
Highly concentrated giving: very few, large grants directed to a small set of repeat grantees. Funding is earmarked for outreach/mission activities and is focused on established evangelical organizations with international programs.
Rhema Life Foundation Inc gives at a scale shaped by a few very large, repeated commitments to evangelical outreach organizations. Its biggest recent grant was $1,622,438 to International Cooperating Ministrie in Hampton, VA, followed by seven-figure support to Samaritan's Purse in Boone, NC. Those awards sit alongside a broader pattern of funding ministries and mission organizations that combine outreach, disaster response, and Christian service work. The foundation’s recent grants also show support for training and leadership development within that same religious ecosystem. Christ for the Nations in Dallas received $325,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025, while Youth With a Mission in Colorado Springs received $204,000 in 2025 after a $90,665 grant in 2024. Other grants support organizations such as The Men and Ladies of Honor in Rowlett, TX, and Ywam Emerge in Colorado Springs, indicating that the foundation backs established partners over time rather than one-off awards. Most of its grants are labeled outreach, with additional mission support and general support appearing in the recent record. The mix points to funding that is tightly aligned with evangelical ministry activity and the operating needs behind it.
Evangelical outreach is the core of the foundation’s grantmaking. International Cooperating Ministrie received $1,622,438 in 2023 for outreach, and Samaritan's Purse received $800,000 in 2024 for outreach, showing that the foundation funds large-scale ministry and relief work through organizations already active in the field. It also supports ministry training and leadership development. Christ for the Nations in Dallas received $325,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025 for outreach, reflecting a continued relationship with a Bible-oriented training organization. Youth With a Mission in Colorado Springs received $204,000 in 2025 for outreach, after $90,665 in 2024, and Ywam Emerge received $160,000 in 2023 and $119,500 in 2024. A third thread is church-based or local ministry support. Church at the Cross in Grapevine received $60,000 in both 2024 and 2025, while Modern Day Missions in Grand Prairie received $54,500 in 2025 for mission support.
Recent grants cluster around a median size of $31,308, with a lower quartile of $12,000 and an upper quartile of $85,000. The foundation still makes several very large awards well above that range, including seven-figure grants and multiple six-figure commitments. Its record also shows repeat giving to the same organizations across years, including Samaritan's Purse, Christ for the Nations, Youth With a Mission, Ywam Emerge, and Church at the Cross. The foundation funds individuals and does not make program-related investments. The pattern in the data is of ongoing, mission-aligned support rather than one-time transactional grants.
