Distant Shores Media Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Distant Shores Media of Minneapolis, MN.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Distant Shores Media 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 making the vision of unrestricted discipleship resources being made available in every language and on any mobile phone a reality,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 2003, Distant Shores Media (www.dsmedia.org) is using mobile phone, internet and broadcast technology, together with discipleship resources that are released from copyright restrictions, to remove everything that hinders and equip the global church to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
