**TRUE VINE CHURCH TRUSTEES REPORT APRIL 2021 – MARCH 2022** ## **Financial Report** We continue to maintain a healthy credit balance as more donations are made online rather than through the church offertory baskets. Gift aid is a great boost to our income which comes in every 3 months. We also maintain a good balance in our reserve account. We now have a number of people being given financial remuneration for their work in different areas of the church’s ministry work during this COVID-19 pandemic period. ## **General Reports:** ## 1. **Church** Church services and other ministry meetings and fellowship activities have been going on well and are both virtual and in person. Each Sunday around 50 – 60 people attend the service in person. The Children’s Sunday School has continued for the various age groups and it has been well managed. Each group has 3 to 4 teachers on a rota basis. Also other children’s activities are done through the Kid’s Corner on the churches website and the plus zone ministry. The Ladies’ ministry continues, along with the Youth ministry. The youth are now back having some of their activities in the church building. The Discipleship ministry continues and most of those involved have just completed the foundation stage programme. The discipleship series is now starting on the ‘Lifestyle’, which focuses on the character building of the individual. ## **2. Bible school** The Bible School continues with students from approximately 20 different churches. The school has 4 different groups which we term 1[st] year, 2[nd] year etc. Each year has its own schedules, timetables etc. to be sorted out, and with the comprehensive nature of the course and management of the different year groups and students from diverse backgrounds, this takes a lot of work. Last year there were students from Birmingham and France and in this coming academic year there have been new applicants from Ghana and France. The school has also had church pastors who have joined the course and have shared that they have learnt a lot, which is helping them in their ministry. The Bible School combines theology with practical ministry. When asked during a recent interview for next September why they wanted to come to the Bible School, one applicant stated that two of their pastors are current students and they have seen the change in them. ## **3. Kidcare** Kidcare could not do any of their usual fund raising activities due to the pandemic. John Prescott, who worked with Kidcare in the office for over 6 years passed away last year and left £5000 for the ministry and his stamp 1 collection, which may be very valuable. Another lady gave £20000, which has gone to the school building project in Ghana. Due to limited funding, sponsorship for the two schools in Kenya has stopped, and one of them has had to close. Kidcare continued to pay for the teacher’s salaries and the care of some of the children and their families even though the schools had been closed for over a year due to the pandemic. The sponsorship of some individual children in the remaining school continues. ## **4. Missions** Due to Covid, we were unable to travel as normal on our mission trips, but the church continues to support the ministries in Kenya and Uganda. In Kenya the church still supports key pastors who are concentrating on major outreach missions and church planting. In Uganda True Vine continues to pay the house rent for the coordinating pastor and his family as well as support the transportation of other pastors working in the village churches. In France Ray continues to mentor and support the pastors and leaders of the main partner church in Mantes-la-Jolie. The church has also brought its key leaders to join the Bible School, which is helping them a lot. In Germany there have been changes in the church leadership in Gummerbach, but the relationship with them continues. In Addiscombe (Croydon) the True Vine Evangelism team continues to build relationships with people in the community and to witness and prayer walk. _**Susie Djan**_ Susie Djan Trustee 2 **TRUE VINE CHURCH TRUST** **1046121** ## **Receipts and payments accounts For the period** Period start date **To from** Period end date **To** 1-Apr-21 31-Mar-22 ## **Section A Receipts and payments** **Unrestricted funds** **Restricted Endowment funds funds** **Total funds** **to the nearest £** **----- Start of picture text -----**
