ROCKY MOUNT, NC – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability has approved the accreditation of Youth on Mission.

YOM is an international short-term missions agency that has sent more
than 60,000 people to the field since its founding in 1992. Teams
consist of church groups, school classes and business people who come
together to work on projects and share the Gospel both in the U.S. and
abroad.

ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible
Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound
board governance and ethical fundraising.

“Even though our ministry is nearly 20 years old, we have to take
accreditation seriously,” said Frank Dees, Director of YOM. “It’s
unfortunate, but in an age of ministry scams and online schemes, we want
our donors and trip participants to know that we are above reproach.
ECFA accreditation is an important piece of our accountability to our
supporters and the broader Christian community.”

Youth On Mission joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and
ministries across America, supported by more than 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
meeting spiritual and physical needs by equipping and mobilizing short
term mission teams for the purpose of sharing the love of God through
His son, Jesus Christ,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.

“We have an exciting list of trips lined up in 2012,” said Dees. “In
the U.S. we’re taking groups to inner cities, Appalachia and the North
Carolina coast. Internationally we’ll be going to Haiti, the Dominican
Republic, Costa Rica, Panama and Uganda. These trips represent many
opportunities to engage the locals, be of service and share the Good
News of the Gospel.”

YOM teams participate in a variety of missions activities during their
trips. From construction projects to Vacation Bible Schools, sports
camps to orphanage ministries, concerts to church plants, the options
for ministry are plentiful. Opportunities to engage in sharing the
Gospel are interwoven throughout the YOM short-term mission trips.

“YOM takes the pressure off of a trip organizer,” Dees said. “We take
care of the logistics, the scheduling, the lodging, the food and the
activities. It’s a proven model that has worked for thousands of groups
who have worked with YOM over the years.”
