African Children’s Mission Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
BIRMINGHAM, AL – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of African Children’s Mission of Birmingham, AL.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fund-raising.
African Children’s Mission joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 35 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal. When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.
“We are pleased to include in our membership a ministry committed to reaching out to children in destitute circumstances,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 1996, African Children’s Mission (www.africanchildrensmission.org) is an interdenominational Christian mission organization that is funded by churches, groups, and individuals in the US and East Africa. The mission operates children’s ministries in Kenya and Uganda, reaching out both physically and with the gospel of Jesus Christ, to enable the children to grow and develop in a secure environment.
