All of the organization's excess revenue is given to fund the paid tuition program for MBI students. In 2012 it announced a new structure with closer ties to the radio and education ministries of Moody Bible Institute (MBI). Long term goals include forming publishing teams on every continent by 2020, and the publication of books and products targeted at African-Americans, Latinos and urban influentials.[2]

Northfield Publishing

Northfield Publishing was organized in the fall of 1992 to target the general trade market. Certain Christian phraseology and scriptural references are omitted in the books it publishes to avoid reader confusion. The line offers books covering such topics as finances, self-help, and relationships from a contemporary, yet biblical perspective. Leading the Northfield line is Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages.
