MinistryWatch.com provides information to aid donors in understanding the key issues concerning a ministry’s operations. They assess ministries that have theological underpinnings and biblical values that determine their actions.
Seven areas are evaluated to determine those ministries who make the Shining Light yearly list. Those areas are:
- Transparency -- Ministries that provided more than a token amount of information were evaluated on their openness and transparency.
- Truth claims -- Their status with the IRS is verified and the organization is deemed credible in what they say and do.
- Values -- The ministry is unashamed to be identified as an evangelical Christian ministry.
- Sectors -- Evaluation is based on the various functions of ministry, such as relief and development, evangelism, and Christian growth.
- Resourcefulness -- Honoring God with their finances and efficiency were the main criteria.
- Red flag issues -- Any unexplained, odd aspects of a ministry would be reason to exclude it.
- Consultation -- There could not be any critical internal disagreement among those familiar with the ministries.
