Mission Statement

Vision The Passing of the Vision There are 1.3 billion Chinese in Mainland China and over 70 million Chinese overseas. For every five people or three non-believers in the world, there is one Chinese. Because of this, Chinese Christian Mission was founded in Detroit in October 1961. Our vision is to pool together the strength of Chinese churches and Christians all over the world so that through various channels we may reach our kinsmen with the good news that God loves the world. The Strategy to Fulfill the Vision "Reaching the Chinese to Reach the World" is our strategy to spread the Gospel. First, sharing the Gospel with the Chinese in the mission fields, then reaching out to the local people respectively. Chinese Christian Mission was founded in 1961 using literature to spread the Gospel. Today it has developed into a multi-faceted missions organization reaching the unreached through different channels. The Distinctives of the Mission CCM is a non-denominational Chinese faith mission. We actively seek the cooperation of evangelical churches and other agencies to reach the Chinese to reach the world. Our finances depend entirely on the support of various churches and individual believers as they are moved to give by the Lord.

CharityAI™ rates charities from 0 to 100 using public filings (IRS Form 990 and the equivalent registries outside the US) together with the information the charity itself provides on DonationX. Ratings are recalculated every quarter, without human bias, and shown as stars.

Four pillars

Financial strength30%

Program expense ratio, fundraising efficiency, operating reserves, liabilities and revenue diversification, compared with similar organizations.

Reliability20%

Standing with the registry, filing history, verification and how complete the profile is.

Effectiveness25%

How much goes to programs and how consistently the organization delivers them.

Impact25%

The outcomes the charity reports on DonationX: people served, cost per service and results.

Stars

★★★★★ 80–100 ★★★★☆ 60–79 ★★★☆☆ 40–59 ★★☆☆☆ 20–39 ★☆☆☆☆ 1–19

A pillar with no data counts as zero. Without impact metrics the score is capped at 59 (three stars): only the charity can supply that data.
The coverage grade (A to D) says how much filing data the score rests on; NONE means there is not enough to rate.
An organization that is not in good standing with its registry (for example a revoked tax exemption) is shown as Not rated.
"Compared with peers" places the charity's key ratios against organizations of the same country, sector and size.
