Above & Beyond Missions Inc

ABOVE AND BEYOND MISSIONS INC. WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2013 AS AN INTER-DENOMINATIONAL FOUNDATION THAT EXISTED TO END SPIRITUAL POVERTY BY SENDING SHORT-TERM MISSIONARIES TO COUNTRIES EVIDENCING SPIRITUAL POVERTY. SINCE INCEPTION IN 2014, ABOVE AND BEYOND MISSIONS INC HAS PROVIDED OVER 1,350 GLOBAL MESSENGERS TO OVER 89 NATIONS. THOSE MESSENGERS VOLUNTEERED OVER 19,000 HOURS THROUGH 470 LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO RECEIVE THEIR ABOVE AND BEYOND REWARD. THROUGH OUR FUNDING, WE ACCELERATED THE MINISTRY OF 14 INDIGENOUS LEADERS SERVING IN HARD-TO-REACH NATIONS. IN ADDITION TO FUNDING THESE MISSION TRIPS, ABOVE AND BEYOND MISSIONS RAISED $ 1,000,000 IN AN ENDOWMENT FUND DESIGNATED FOR WHEN THERE WERE ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS. GIVEN THAT COVID HAS SEVERELY RESTRICTED OUR SHORT-TERM MISSIONARY WORK, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WERE TASKED WITH THE JOB OF REVIEWING OTHER STRATEGIES TO ACCELERATE OUR MISSION OF MINISTRY TO HARD-TO-REACH AND UNDER REACHED NATIONS.

IN 2022 THE ABOVE AND BEYOND BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINED THAT OUR SERVE LOCAL TO GO GLOBAL PROGRAM HAD BEEN IMPACTED GREATLY DUE TO THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC AS MANY OTHER MISSION FOUNDATIONS WERE EXPERIENCING. WHILE OUR SERVE LOCAL TO GO GLOBAL WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS WHICH ASSISTING 1,350 GLOBAL MESSENGERS TO 89 NATIONS OVER THE SPAN OF OPERATIONS. OUR LOCAL GLOBAL MESSENGERS HAD VOLUNTEERED OVER 20,000 HOURS THROUGH OVER 479 LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO RECEIVE THEIR ABOVE AND BEYOND REWARD. UNFORTUNATELY, A NEW STRATEGY WAS REQUIRED TO FULFILL OUR MISSION TO SERVING INDIGENOUS LEADERS IN HARD-TO-REACH NATIONS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ABOVE AND BEYOND MISSIONS INC. REVIEWED VARIOUS STRATEGIES AND SELECTED A STRATEGY THAT WOULD SERVE OUR GREATER MISSION BUT WOULD ALSO CHANGE OUR PROGRAM OF SERVE LOCAL TO GO GLOBAL. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEWED VARIOUS STRATEGIES AND SELECTED A STRATEGY TO VET NINE MINISTRIES THAT HAD INDIGENOUS LEADERS REACHING THOUSANDS IN HARD-TO-REACH NATIONS. FROM OCTOBER 2022 THROUGH FEBRUARY 2023, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WOULD SELECT SEVERAL LARGER MISSION FOUNDATIONS THAT MET THE FINANCIAL AND DIRECTION OF THE ORGANIZATION DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM. IN FEBRUARY 2023, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DECIDED ON THE SELECTED MINISTRIES AND THE FUNDING OF EACH, TO DISTRIBUTE THE ENDOWMENT FUND THAT ABOVE AND BEYOND MISSIONS HAD BEEN BUILDING ON AND INVESTING SINCE INCEPTION OF OUR MINISTRY IN 2007. AFTER DISTRIBUTION OF THE FUNDS TO THOSE SELECTED MINISTRIES, ABOVE AND BEYOND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. THE NC SECRETARY OF STATE CERTIFIED ARTICLES OF DISSOLUTION ON DECEMBER 6, 2023.
