| Primary Exempt Purpose | Primary exempt purpose of our organization, Missions-Connect, Inc. is to assist and provide funds to Christian organizations in India, Cambodia, Kenya and other nations in the Third World that provide services to orphans who have dropped out of school because of their circumstances, to needy lepers in leprosy colonies, to abandoned poor widows, and to hungry people who have been left without work because the pandemic has affected the economy of these Third World nations. Christian individuals who are being led by God donate to our organization the necessary funds for all these programs. We, in Missions-Connect, Inc., then sends these funds to those organizations that we are working with in Kenya, Cambodia, India and other places to be used in accomplishing the goals established with them. In return, they send us documentation on how the funds were used and distributed. All that information goes into our website (www.missionsconnect.com) where the donors can see how the funds are used. | PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt |

| Facts And Circumstances Test | Explanation for Part II line 17b Missions-Connect, Inc. has been working with Christian organizations in Third World nations for about 19 years assisting them in their ministries to the needy, the poor, the sick, the poor abandoned widows, the orphans, the lepers in leprosy colonies, and the poor church people. Missions-Connect, Inc. receives donations from Christian private individuals and in turn, sends those funds to these Christian organization we are working with so they can continue ministering to the many needs of the people in the area. We have developed a system of accountability through different forms of communications, photos, videos, newsletters, and this year 2023 with actual visits of organizations leaders from India and Cambodia that have come to the U.S. The leadership of these organizations gives our ministry monthly accounts on how the funds we send them were administered to meet specific needs. Missions-Connect, Inc. then provides the information to our donors, as accountability to them. All the activities of the ministry are found in our website: WWW.MISSIONSCONNECT.COM Our Board of Directors meets to asses the work, to discuss strategies to follow, and to oversee the organization's financial accountability. The much-needed work Missions-Connect is doing assisting these Third World organizations in their effort to make life better for the needy validates our request for the extension of the 501(c)3 tax-exempt status.
