    The Trip to Kenya That Changed How a CPA Saw Ministry

    The Trip to Kenya That Changed How a CPA Saw Ministry A ministry can look impressive on paper and still be a mess behind the scenes. Tom Hammar explains why Fishers of Men Ministries stood out to him immediately—and why going to Kenya changed the way he thinks about giving, accountability, and what real impact looks like. Ken Peel hosts the conversation with Joshua Ngao, president and founder of Fishers of Men Ministries, and Tom Hammar, the CPA, board member, and former trip participant who helped oversee the books long before he ever stepped foot in Kenya. What starts as a finance conversation becomes something much bigger: a firsthand look at how donor trust is built, how overseas ministry can be verified, and why the human side of the work matters just as much as the numbers.You’ll discover: Why Tom was drawn in by the ministry’s lean overhead and unusual financial transparencyHow EFCA accreditation adds a layer of accountability donors should care aboutWhat changed when Tom finally traveled to Kenya and saw the ministry in actionHow child sponsorship becomes a real relationship, not just a monthly giftWhy Joshua says the most important work is preparing children, families, and communities for the futureJoshua shares how Fishers of Men serves through water wells, churches, schools, mission communities, and child sponsorships across Kenya. Tom adds a rare donor and CPA perspective, including what he tells other financial professionals to look for before supporting any nonprofit or ministry. This episode makes the case for something simple but powerful: when money is handled with integrity, it opens the door for life-changing work. And when you see that work up close, it becomes impossible to think of sponsorship, giving, or missions the same way again. Essential listening if you care about faith-based impact, financial accountability, or finding a ministry you can trust with your support.
