TRUE VINE CHURCH TRUSTEES’ REPORT
This report covers the period from January – December 2024.
True Vine is has seen many young people, including new Christians and families being joining the church this year. New members have joined, and several water baptisms have taken place. The church is promoting a discipleship culture through various activities. A new choir was introduced by the worship ministry at the Kidcare Christmas fundraiser. True Vine is also funding a new alarm system for the church.
The Sunday school ministry has been especially encouraging, contributing to growth in the youth ministry. On the night of Halloween, another successful event for about 50 children from various churches was held to celebrate Jesus as the Light of the world, providing a great alternative to "trick or treat."
True Vine’s men’s ministry had several few meetings this year, while the ladies' ministry has been active with several events encouraging mothers to be and fellowship outings. A monthly 6:30am ladies prayer meeting began in 2023 with good attendance.
Kidcare - The mission to support disadvantaged children in Uganda, Ghana, and Kenya continues. In October, a church team visited and bought shoes and uniforms for the children. Olga, from True Vine, has been teaching at Kidcare school and another international school in Ghana for over a year. Kidcare raised funds through a 10k run, an Easter fun day, and a Christmas worship concert.
Grace City Bible school – the school continues to serve believers both home and abroad. The school celebrated 11 years in September this year. Sad to share that one of the key lecturers, Pete Game, passed away.
