This support is provided through fundraising, the sales of books, and the provision of administrative support. OM Ships International is the organization operating Logos Hope and Doulos Hope. The OM "Ships Ministry" began in 1970 as part of the global Christian training and outreach movement, OM International. Since then OM's ships have visited over 450 different ports in over 150 countries and territories and welcomed 47 million visitors on board. The goal of OM Ships International is to share knowledge, help, and hope to the people of the world. We do this by supplying vital literature resources, encouraging cross-cultural understanding, training young people for more effective life and service, providing needed relief, and sharing a message of hope in God wherever there is opportunity. The ships visit each port for several weeks each and open the gangways to hundreds and sometimes thousands of visitors each day. On average, over one million visitors have been welcomed onboard every year! The floating book fairs offer over 6,000 titles, providing many visitors their first-ever opportunity to purchase quality educational Christian literature. An international crew and staff of volunteers live and work on the ships. Teams from the ship go into surrounding areas to supply aid and community care. In each port, the ship's crew joins local churches to bring hope and show love to people whatever their circumstance, culture, or background. 3360822 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 79 true true true false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 2 false false false false false true false true false false false true false true true true true false SC X Tommy Dyer 8436791862 781 St Andrews Rd Florence SC 29501 Myles Toews Vice President 40.0 X X 54929 0 32041 Pil-Hun Park Managing Director 40.0 X X 62384 0 5640 Seelan Govender Chairman of the Directors 5.0 X X 0 0 0 Tommy Dyer CFO/Treasurer 40.0 X X 52666 0 3875 Dale Garman Individual Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 169979 0 41556 0 false false false 0 1273576 1273576 0 0 0 0 0 43919 43919 0 0 0 0 5058030 2099779 2958251 2678370 279881 10586 0 0 10586 10586 4286332 2678370 279881 54505 697601 697601 211534 125351 66404 19779 5167 5167 1207888 718831 375633 113424 23220 13760 7289 2171 124982 74062 39234 11686 70980 42061 22282 6637 440 261 138 41 8684 8684 77507 77507 70148 70148 0 0 91032 32469 32469 26094 467338 275873 147524 43941 85228 42614 21307 21307 192263 96131 48066 48066 124763 41172 41172 42419 112520 90016 11252 11252 28661 16984 8997 2680 Literature Distribution 940340 940340 Repairs and Maintenance 100921 80737 10092 10092 Taxes 56268 56268 4066 2411 1275 380 4701551 3360822 903253 437476 271313 277792 5525 6681 137619 166660 0 0 0 0 768965 714724 3507582 1130095 2490006 2377487 0 0 0 0 3673428 3543344 123399 423188 0 0 0 0 123399 423188 X 3550029 3120156 3550029 3120156 3673428 3543344 X -415219 5171 -19825 X false false false X 1296002 1439921 1798189 1380773 1273576 7188461 0 0 1296002 1439921 1798189 1380773 1273576 7188461 99449 7089012 2583 9683 26621 9647 43919 92453 100431 101977 209029 216248 263548 891233 6435 0 0 21654 10586 38675 8210822 20952597 0.8634 0.8869 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income DESCRIPTION - OTHER INCOME, COLUMN A - 6435.0, COLUMN B - 0.0, COLUMN C - 0.0, COLUMN D - 21654.0, COLUMN E - 10586.0, COLUMN F - 38675.0; RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 551250 551250 2344394 623440 1720954 611938 506655 105283 2377487 true Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Program Services Travel 791 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Program Services Travel 5905 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 0 0 Program Services Travel 18387 North America (Canada & Mexico only) 0 0 Program Services Travel 1148 Middle East and North Africa 0 0 Program Services Travel 8788 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 0 0 Grantmaking 697601 0 0 0 0 0 0 732620 0 732620 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) Support charitable activities/operations of Logos Hope and Doulos Hope 697601 Wire Transfer 1 0 false false false false false false Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds GBA Ships receives regular reports on charitable outcomes and detailed data on all expenditures.

As such, the majority of expenses related to this program activity is reported on Part VIII, Line 10b. If those expenses are added to the expenses reported in Part IX, Column B, the total program expense to total expenses ratio would be 79.02%.
