Proclaim! International Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
JACKSONVILLE, FL – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Proclaim! International of Jacksonville, FL.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Proclaim! International joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 20 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 proclaiming the gospel with creativity, humility and boldness, in obedience to the authority of Jesus Christ,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 1982, Proclaim! International (www.proclaiminternational.com) works worldwide using creative communication, especially music, drama, and video, in publicly proclaiming the truth of the gospel. They cooperate with mission agencies and national churches to plan projects from local events to large regional campaigns. These outreaches are often multiplied through television broadcast. Their missionaries reside internationally throughout the world. Their ongoing ministries build up the local church through creative evangelism, church planting, addiction recovery ministry, counseling, training and discipleship.
