Life Outreach International (often called "Life Outreach" or just "Life" for short) is a Christian relief organization, founded and headed by James Robison.[1]
The organization produces the syndicated television program Life Today, which Robison co-hosts with his wife Betty.[2]
The ministry’s programs include:
- Mission Feeding—a program that distributes food to starving people in impoverished countries
- Mission: Water for Life—a program that raises money to dig water wells in parts of the world where people lack access to clean drinking water.
- Homes for life—a program that raises funds to build houses for people in impoverished countries.
- Evangelism—a program for taking gospel of Jesus Christ to nations around the world.[2]
The ministry relies on tax-deductible donations and is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
James Robison receives an annual salary from Life Outreach International of $159,000, and Betty Robison receives $128,000. LOI states that James and Betty Robinson’s salaries are based on wage and compensation surveys of businesses in their geographic region. They also receive a housing allowance, health insurance and retirement benefits. A local developer built them their new house in exchange for their property.
