**Apostle Ezekiel H. & Dr Eunor Guti From the Archbishop’s Office** November 2019
THE LETTER FROM THE APOSTLE EZEKIEL GUTI TO ALL THE CHURCHES OF FORWARD IN FAITH ALL OVER WHEREVER FORWARD IN FAITH IS, IN PREPARATION TO ENTER THE NEW YEAR FOR THE TEN DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING.
The year 2020 is different from all the other years. We need to be strong as never before, because there are things in the spiritual world that I cannot be able to explain. Except that I encourage everyone to make sure that your relationship with God is right. We know that some of us we didn't finish praying for spiritual ears and eyes leading to the genuine fear of God. We need to continue.
The year 2020 the foundation of everything is Love of God in the church, which will create prayer and fellowshipping together, with one another, bringing food and eating together Acts 2:42 and 46. The Bible calls this fellowship "Love Feast" Jude 12.
The foundation of Love of God will create praying, fellowshipping, inviting friends and eating together the food we bring. This will help when the period of spiritual drought in some places comes. I am speaking to the mixed generation, but my message is to the emerging generation who are coming into leadership.
Love and fellowship will cause the church to grow and cause joy in people. Acts 8:8, Acts 13:52. We wont lose people in the time of spiritual dryness when the Love of God is full in the church. Be not afraid when you see ungodly coming to your fellowship. Wherever there is eating it invites even wrong people. When Jesus saw wrong people coming, He warned the disciples. Luke 12 v 1-5. READ.
People do not stay in church because of anointing only and preaching, but because of the love of God in the church. The key is the Love of God. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:13.
Continue in the teaching of FIF, fellowshipping, eating together and in prayers.
As always in the 10 days of prayer and fasting, prayer bands and conventions are very important. Prayer conventions 2nd to 5th January 2020.
Warning to those who are at work. Be alert. Reminding the pregnant women, we don't want you to be sick. Don't fast.
Thank you for praying for me as I pray for you. God bless you and strengthen you.
Yours servant of the Lord to the servants and saints of the Lord.
Ezekiel H. Guti.
Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ. GRACE AND PEACE be multiplied to you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our LORD. Please read this letter slowly and carefully in every service during 10 days of Prayer and Fasting, so that everyone clearly understands what God is saying to us through the Holy Spirit.

necessary structures. This is a most needed ministry for the restoration and strengthening of families.
We started the New Year, 2021, under the same prophetic warning from 2020, working around challenges and limitations from the pandemic, mainly the inability to meet physically for worship and fellowship.
Prayer remained the anchor throughout the year, starting from the Ten Days, as we found grace to hold together as the church of God and have our calendar events, mostly virtually. The God of our father is faithful and allowed us to stand with our father through the working of Missions as a nation. There was much excitement, as well, after we worked and purchased the first-ever guest house, RAMAH, in the UK for the visionary.
## **Key Activities**
Those activities critical to the ministry continued as summarised below, with due diligence exercised towards health and safety;
- Supporting the ongoing work of Missions in over 27 nations, including sending shortterm missionaries to several countries, expanding the work in Morocco, and opening a new assembly in Casablanca on Sunday 26[th] September 2021.
- On the local scene, the EGEA Gospel Team held monthly online crusades to keep the fire burning and to reach out to many with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Bible School Tutorials (UKMFCC) thrived, with plans to move to another level through training teachers in special subjects. The school became more high-tech, easily accessible, and user-friendly, attracting students from Europe (Schengen Region).
- Through their relevant structures, all ministries used every available opportunity to fulfil their mandates, displaying the love for their God. The new normal of virtual conferences allow us to benefit from international speakers for the better part of the year.
- GWAHAFI is gaining momentum after much work was put into setting up the
## **Leadership and Structures**
Leadership training remains a key ingredient, and Provinces managed to host many virtual seminars. We managed to hold a HYBRID Europe Leadership Deeper Life Conference (28/07/21 to 01/08/21), which was graced by Apostle Dr Joe Guti and DSG Apostle Dr Steve Simukai, and Dr La-Verne Simukai. UK was highly favoured to be addressed, virtually, by the Apostle and Servant of God, Apostle Prof. E.H.Guti, at that conference, where he then ordained Dr M.J. Kasese, as Bishop, Overseers Oscar Zezani, Shepherd Mayemu, and Pastor Enock Tigere, as Apostles.
This was soon followed by the creation of two Provinces (North West & Yorkshire) and the appointment of Provincial Overseers, Big & Nellia Chakanyuka, and Calisto & Ska Manyati, respectively. There were a few internal transfers of Pastors towards ensuring adequate pastoral coverage in every region.
The birth of Ireland & the Isle of Man Province was another exciting development for the nation, with Pastors Abisha & Ann Forest as the Overseers. To conclude the year, the National Administrator Overseers Daniel & Rumbidzai Makuwere were transferred to Zimbabwe.
Apostle Oscar Zezani was appointed as The National Administrator, of The United Kingdom, and Apostle Shepherd Mayemu, as Deputy National Administrator.
## **Bishops:**
1. Dr. JDK & Dr. Mabel Samasuwo.
2. Dr. J & G Chikwawawa.
3. Dr.M.J & Dr. B. Kasese.
**National Administrator:** Apostle Oscar Zezani & Overseer C. Zezani.
## **Deputy National Administrator:** Apostle

2. YORKSHIRE: Overseer C & S Manyati.
3. NORTHWEST PROVINCE: Overseer B & N Chakanyuka.

5. GREATER MIDLANDS: Overseer Apostle S & Overseer T. Mayemu.
6. NORTH LONDON: Overseer W & E Mujuruki.
7. SOUTH EAST ENGLAND: TBA. Zonal Bishop.
The countless operational challenges from the pandemic negatively affected membership strength in some Provinces. However, we saw the hand of the God of our father, as finances remained positive, in most Provinces, with financial obligations and remittances being met, in general.
## **National Centre Building Project.**
“During 2021, there were no construction works at the National Centre Building. We obtained updated quotations for HVAC system full commissioning; however, this work could not be completed due to lack of funding.
The Secondary Hall is fully functional and was used for the Hybrid Europe Deeper Life Conference in July 2021.
We are grateful to our father for allowing the UK, Ireland and Isle of Man to work National Centre Talents in 2022. We are believing God that enough money will be raised to fund the construction works to complete our project up to a fully usable state. This will then facilitate the hiring out of the National Centre so that we can raise additional funds to complete our project fully. Please pray for us as we endeavour into this final push of our project”. Chairman, Building Committee.
## **Conclusion.**
We can only say “Ebenezer” as we sing praises in thanksgiving to the God of our father for such unmerited favour and amazing grace in the year 2021. He has never ceased to heal and deliver His people emotionally, spiritually and physically. He continues to do so as the His church is now gradually moving back to physical worship and fellowship..
## STATISTICAL SUMMARY
Most physical activities and meetings were curtailed by the pandemic for the greater part of the year. As a result, using virtual and hybrid platforms affected regular collection and submission of accurate data, with Holy Spirit baptism possibly taking place in homes and going unreported.
Different provinces experienced some movement of members, including immigration from abroad and relocations within the nation. Others experienced a huge decline in their membership as a result of the mitigating effects on physical contact and places of worship due to the pandemic.
As restrictions got relaxed in the last quarter, return to physical meetings continued to increase with the hope that more reliable statistics will then emerge.
Due to the above, it has not been possible to include an accurate and informative 2020-21 statistical analysis as part of this report.

church and back after Sunday services due to limited bus service on the day is what leads to long distance travel.
## _IRELAND PROVINCE_
## **INTRODUCTION**
We give glory to the God of our father for the promotion of Ireland & Isle of Man Region to provincial status on 05.08.2020, under the leadership of Overseers, Abisha and Ann Mushango. This was immediately shared with the councillors, who welcomed the new status with palpable zeal, excitement and enthusiasm. Structures need to be put in place, for the leaders to challenge themselves into work that will cause the province to run smoothly. **PROGRESS THIS FAR** The Overseers sprang into action at once, visiting saints across the huge province and preaching at Sunday services. Assemblies continue to grow in numbers with the unabated influx of immigrants into the region. Dublin, Cork and Belfast attendance figures continue to increase and they started meeting physically for Sunday services from September. All is the doing of the Lord and it is marvellous in our eyes.
We saw the birth of a new assembly in Limerick end of October and the Overseers are constantly giving support to ensure the growth of the “baby”. We look forward to more assemblies being opened soon by His grace.
## **CHALLENGES**
The main challenge is that of manpower. The province is massive with only have 2 pastors who are leading a team of 25 Elders and 23 Deacons. The harvest is plentiful yet the labourers are few, with phenomenal distances that need to be covered under inadequate financial resources. The great work that includes home visitations, ferrying people to
## **CONCLUSION**
We thank the God of our father Ezekiel who remains faithful to His servant. We are experiencing the fulfilment of the promises that God made to our father long back concerning
The work is progressing gradually as we continue to soldier on and believe that with the necessary support, we will eventually lessen the burden from our We thank God for your precious prayers for our province and are beginning to see the fruits. God bless you all.
## _GREATER MIDLANDS PROVINCE_
## **Salutation Executive Summary**
We thank the God of our father, Apostle Prof EH Guti, who has kept His church through the challenging Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown.
The leadership structure in the six regions includes 7 full-time pastors,1 student pastor, 7 part-time pastors, 116 Elders,130 Deacons, the National VIP Pastor, National Administrator and Bishops Drs JDK & M Samasuwo.
We gave birth to Ireland and Isle of Man Province, an exciting development. We also have a new pastor through transfer and all regions benefiting from local pastoral care to the glory of God.
Nottingham Goshen and Northampton Megaregions experienced a massive decline in membership, and much improvement was noted within a short time after the deployment of fulltime pastors to resurrect them. A team of evangelists has also been stationed at one of the assemblies, bringing much-needed revival in that region. The province has widely received new members relocating from other provinces and abroad.
pg. 6
God has used the great team of Pastors, Elders and Deacons in their different areas of calling. During these unprecedented times, all the regions continued to be stable through prayer meetings, ministry events, and seminars, which were primarily hybrid with good attendance.
Prayer has remained the anchor as all regions meet virtually for morning devotion. Many miracles continue to be experienced in the province.
## **Monday & Friday Prayers**
The growth and sustenance of the province is anchored on prayer and fasting as the foundation of this ministry. As such, all Monday and Friday prayer meetings are being held across the province at assembly and regional levels, even though attendance continues to be affected by varying working patterns and other commitments. The timing and frequency of Friday prayers are decided at the local level.
## **Provincial Council Meetings**
We held four council meetings and the major highlights were: -
- Guest House Project
- Home Talents
- Month of Missions
The province participated well and excelled in all church projects during 2021.
## **Calendar Events**
All conferences, conventions and programmes are well throughout the province.
## **Ministry Activities**
All ministries are well structured, with a pastoral head. Their activities and programmes were primarily held virtually but with much success.
## **General Remarks**
GMP has met all its financial obligations and remittances even though the expenditure has exceeded the income in some months, with savings providing some cushioning. Generally, the province appears to be breaking even.
We thank the God of our father, who is giving us grace through the prayers that the Apostle and Servant of God continue to make for the church.
## _NORTH LONDON PROVINCE_
## _REPORT_
## **1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**
We give glory to the God of our Father, Professor Dr E H Guti, whose angel is continuously encamped around the saints. Covid-19 restrictions curtailed physical meetings and street witnessing, and virtual services will remain a great experience to be forever remembered during the times of uncertainty. Believers logged in willingly, not under compulsion, out of love for their God and now being encouraged to go back to church with the lifting of the restrictions. Hybrid services have been introduced to benefit those who are still not confident.
We experienced a blessed year of exponential financial growth and witnessed great miracles through working Missions in June. Members continue to give through direct debits and Monday offerings.
We pushed towards Kingdom Wealth Creation, working Home Talents like never before. Powerful speakers encouraged running businesses as well church members selflessly sharing their experiences on entrepreneurship. Many testimonies are being received of big contracts being awarded, purchase of properties, registration of new businesses and companies, beginning of building projects and gathering of hard cash under the anointing of the season. We serve a mighty God who is always faithful to His servant
We welcomed Pastors Norman & Susan Zisengwe as we bade farewell to Pastors Clever & Gladys Sibiya, whom God had reassigned to another province. God used them mightily during their tenure, and the

province will forever cherish the gifts they imparted to the saints.
## 2. **PROVINCIAL STRATEGIES**
- **Virtual Church Services** were conducted, and the province moved to physical services, with 90% of our assemblies already doing so.
- **Home Cell Groups** (22) are still meeting virtually.
- **Home Visitations** mainly were done through video calling and physically only with the individual’s consent.
- **Prayer Sessions** are still virtual for regions, assemblies and all ministries. Scheduled prayer conventions were held with astounding attendance, as instructed to pray without ceasing, bringing notable transformation of lives, deliverance and healing of the sick. Many miracles were witnessed, including weddings, purchasing houses at favourable prices and opening of business opportunities.
- **Soul Winning** brought 12 new souls to Christ during the year.
- **Water Baptism** was conducted for two converts.
**Events and Conferences** held include Kingdom Wealth Creation, Leaders and Couples’ seminars, Family Builders Conference (FAMB), Anniversary Celebrations, June Prayer Conventions, Single Ladies High Tea, Finance Symposium, Youth & Real Men Conferences, Go Quickly prayer retreats and provincial hosting seminars. The pastoral team and various international speakers ministered the Word of God; breakthroughs were experienced as believers interacted with the speakers for counselling and emotional healing.
## **3. MINISTRIES**
Every ministry was on point carrying out their virtual activities, with prayer being the focus that sustained the province.
Many marriages were restored through **Couples & Men of Integrity** , bringing the peace of God both at home and in the church, as men also joined the prayer retreat to fast and pray for their families and the work of God at large.
Intercession for the Servant and Apostles of God and the work at large continued to be the mainstay of **Go Quickly & Tell,** with working out of character through the word of the season. A prayer retreat, Big Sunday, afternoon tea and a business symposium were all held virtually.
**Single Women** are rejoicing over what the Lord has done and answered prayer to witness two of their own having big white weddings. They continue to meet as regions for morning glory The **Youth** had virtual fellowship provincial and zonal youth conferences; the Girls continued to pray on national platforms, and all participated in national youth meetings. Going back to meeting physically has increased their availability in church, doing what they couldn’t during virtual services. We are blessed to witness their passion for the things of God and pray that they will catch the spirit to continue running with this gospel of Jesus
The opening of church doors brought excitement to **Young Generation & Child Evangelism,** although they continue to meet provincially to learn the Word of God online.
## **8. TESTIMONIES**
- The province glorifies God for His protection and healing, as many were miraculously healed and restored to life from Covid-19.
- A motor mechanic (an Elder) could not fit a particular part despite the time spent. He then remembered how the Apostle and Servant of God once called for an angel for assistance and received immediate help. The Elder exercised his faith by calling an angel to come to his rescue; the part went through swiftly, and the vehicle was fixed soon after. Glory be to God.
pg. 8
- Members have been blessed with new businesses as well as new houses.
## **GENERAL REMARKS**
We ask for your prayers, for God to continue preserving us from the pandemic and for the saints of God to gain confidence to attend church physically. We also desire to thrive financially as believers remain faithful in tithing and offerings.
- We found grace before God to give joyfully towards the Guest House Project (AprilMarch) and concluded with a national thanksgiving prayer.
- Encouragement in Kingdom Wealth Creation as people worked home talents for their families. It pays to be obedient to such a vision that chases poverty and brings prosperity.
- Worked Missions successfully in June towards an agreed provincial target, demonstrating the importance of the four pillars of Missions.
## **MINISTRY ACTIVITIES**
## _NORTH ENGLAND PROVINCE_
Ministries reported progress and were taken to another level through various guest speakers. Children’s sessions were lively and interactive, adding fun during learning; a wonderful single ladies fellowship led by Overseer; a unique boys’ gathering themed ‘ _Boy Child on the Rise’_ as an opportunity to attend every concern raised; a Couples Evening with a difference organised by the Gracious Woman & Husbands Agape Fellowship International (GWAHAFI); a life-changing prayer retreat for men themed _‘Mighty Man of Valour: Wisdom/Purpose/Impact’ (Judges 6:12)_ which will never leave homes the same again.
## **INTRODUCTION**
We are thankful to the God of our father for North West and Yorkshire Districts, under Overseers M & B Kasese leadership, for dwelling and working together in unity to progress the work of God through the challenges of the pandemic without physical church gatherings.
The March Provincial Council meeting highlights are the Europe Deeper Life Conference, Home Talents and Provincial Finances, encouragement of leaders on what is expected when physical church gatherings start after the lifting of the Covid-19 restrictions.

Most assemblies have remained in a positive balance as tithing is not being significantly affected by lockdown, and pray for an increase in faithfulness through more teachings. National Finance taught on understanding financial responsibilities at a Provincial Finance Seminar in May and believe this will further equip our assemblies.
## **TRAINING/SEMINARS**
Some of our **UKMFCC Bible School** students graduated during the August Deeper Life Conference, and thank God for such a wonderful achievement.
- **Elders and Deacons Training** was conducted in February **,** covering topics that shape good leaders capable of progressing the work of God, as said by our father in the book “ _What Every Leader Should Know”._
_-_ Designated Safeguarding Leads represented the province at a 2-day national “ **Safeguarding for Coordinators and Designated Leads Advanced Webinar”** in February to equip them concerning the complex challenges around safeguarding, so they can further disseminate the knowledge.
## **CONCLUSION**
From August, both these districts were reinstated to provincial status with their Provincial Overseers and can only say “Ebenezer”, thus far the Lord has taken us. Their highlights will be presented separately, covering the last four months of the year to include strategies, future plans and prayer requests. It is encouraging that people are gradually starting to meet and fellowship physically after lifting the restrictions, which will undeniably bring healing and make growth a reality.
## _YORKSHIRE PROVINCE_
## **OPENING REMARKS**
We thank our former NEP Overseers, Drs M&B Kasese, for their leadership over the years that
brought a rise in entrepreneurship amongst the saints. We wish them the very best in their new posting as Bishops and are blessed that they remain in our province. We believe we will continue to experience growth as a result of a sweet spirit and unity between leadership and the saints.
The new province was made official at the August PC meeting, and we welcomed our new Overseers, Calisto & Skanyisiwe Manyati. They have inspired the new province from the start with a strong encouragement through early morning prayer, praying for the work and the Apostles of God, Drs Baba & Amai Guti.
## **FINANCE**
After electing a new finance team, a successful fund-raising big day was held on 31[st] October, and much money was raised through giving from a willing heart to kick-start the journey for the new province. A 2-week prayer and fasting period had been observed prior to the big day, with Zoom services to encourage and stir the hearts of many. Our God is faithful and gracious.
## **MEETINGS & CONFERENCES**
All meetings and conferences were held via Zoom platform, while we allow lifting of restrictions and confidence to meet physically to be restored among the saints. Our end year Provincial Council meeting is in December.
## **MINISTRY ACTIVITIES**

- **Youth** activity will get stronger as we gradually return to our assemblies and regions.

## **2022 PROJECTIONS**
We are confident that the work in our new province will grow from strength to strength, from the working together of the Pastorate with Elders and Deacons as they attend to any issues and challenges.
We pray that we will see growth in tithing amongst our leaders and saints as the work continues to grow.
We thank God for enabling us to go back to physical meetings again as we continue to pray for the protection of all the saints from Covid-19.
## _SCOTLAND PROVINCE REPORT_
## **OVERSEER’S SUMMARY**
What a mighty and gracious God we serve! This report highlights Scotland’s performance and activities in the past year, covering two regions and four assemblies. From the very start, we stood on the prophetic word that had been given to our father lived each day by faith in an uncertain environment that was dictated by the pandemic. We put all our trust in the grace of God, which is sufficient for us, that we walk not by sight but by faith in Him. We continued meeting virtually as a Province for all church programs then decentralised Wednesday services and Friday prayer to regions in the last quarter, except for Monday prayer and Sunday Services, with a plan that all programs will be regional from the beginning of 2022. Speakers included international as well as our local Elders and Deacons, which allowed us to discover the rich and dynamic pool of talented speakers we have, capable of grooming others to get to the international platform.
Amazing testimonies of healing and breakthroughs have been shared, many miraculously healed from Covid-19, including an Elder and a saint healed from cancer after being given daily meditation of the Word of God by the Overseers. This was followed by a doctor’s report confirming no trace of cancer in her body.
We have seen wonders concerning our finances as our tithes income remained on a positive trend. We also participated in raising funds for the Guest House in March.
Believers ended the year by working for their families under the Home Talents flagship and “Kingdom Wealth Creation” theme. Many families managed to make substantial savings established more businesses, and others have done major projects both in the UK and overseas. We see the God of our father Abraham blessing His people even in these difficult times.
## **MAJOR EVENTS**
- All the calendar events took place successfully, starting with _**Ten Days Prayer & Fasting,**_ which was associated with powerful testimonies of healing and deliverance. During the June Prayer Conventions, the church continued in that spirit as individuals and families committed their lives and everything to God. The power of prayer is the weapon upon which our church was founded and built, as was demonstrated through the powerful speakers that included our Youth.
- We celebrated the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ during _**Easter Convention,**_ with the Youth in the forefront and leading the services under a unique anointing not witnessed before.
- Even though all saints could not physically attend _**Church Anniversary & Birthday Celebrations,**_ there was so much joy and jubilation as we celebrated where the church has come from and where it is going. We are indeed in a living and loving church that the Spirit of God leads, as demonstrated through the many testimonies, both strengthening and encouraging.
- Ending the year with a _**Thanksgiving Service**_ was befitting, to acknowledge how the goodness and mercy of God had followed us. The celebrations included
pg. 11
the dedication of children, including miracle triplet boys, to one of our Elders.
## **MINISTERIAL ACTIVITIES**
Every ministry held its activities as scheduled. Through conferences, seminars, High Teas, Thursday Ladies Meetings, the focus is prayer and growing through teachings of the Word of God.
pillars of Missions are all about when our Overseers, Osca & Cecilia Zezani, went to Guyana as short-term missionaries from July to September. We also worked towards the Guest House Project, with Southbank Region taking the top position in the nation and some of our assemblies also being amongst the highest. Southbank Region had a 3-day leadership seminar where the DSG, Apostle Dr Steve & Dr La-Verne Simukai delivered teachings that empowered the leaders.
## **CONCLUSION**
We believe Scotland Province has and continues to be sustained through prayer and the Word of God. We are eternally thankful to the Almighty God for His love, grace, mercy and favour. We appreciate our father, Dr E.H. Guti and mother Apostle Eunor, all our Bishops, National Administrator, Apostles, Overseers, the Pastorate and leaders for praying for us, teaching and encouraging us throughout the year. Thank you for standing with us in this journey, and thank you, fellow believers, for a spirit of unity as we continue to call upon the name of the Lord together. He will never leave us nor forsake us
_**Scotland Province…..Where Jesus Lives**_
We are humbled and excited that our Overseer was ordained as an Apostle in August. We also welcome Pastors Dr David & Florence Simango, who became Regional Pastors for East Anglia, after Pastors Michael & Mollyn Vhareta.
In September, a Kingdom Wealth Creation seminar brought teachings from speakers invited by Christian Business Fellowship on how to become entrepreneurs through working Home Talents.
It is hugely encouraging that assemblies are gradually moving from Zoom and Hybrid, going back to meeting physically. We give glory to the God of our father for His faithfulness as we dedicated November to prayer and fasting to end the year.

## **EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**
Despite the limitations that came with Covid-19 restrictions, we saw the hand of God as the gospel continued to be preached virtually. Key gatherings and conferences like Easter Convention, Church Anniversary and June Prayer Conventions were held successfully, with deliverance taking place. We found grace as we put all effort into ensuring that prayer sessions, Workers’ Fellowships and Home Bible Groups continued through online platforms.
The province stood in solidarity with the great missionary of our time, the Apostle & Servant of God, through working Missions. We experienced a live testimony of what the four
Every ministry used opportunities available to them to fulfil their mandates. Many seminars and conferences were held, with power-packed and life-changing teachings from anointed speakers, the common denominator being prayer. The church of God had to be protected against the spirit of infirmity, receiving healing and deliverance, whilst a gradual, safe return to physical worship and fellowship was taking place.
## **PROJECTIONS**
We are looking forward to accomplishing the following: -
- Ø Soul-winning by all age groups.
- Ø Reaching out to the indigenous people and all other nationalities.
- Ø Engaging all ministries, ensuring they are active and excel in every project.
- Ø Teach the Word according to the scriptures and use the books written by the Servant and Apostle of God.

## **CLOSING REMARKS**
Above all, we thank the God of our father for abounding grace received throughout the year, for watching over us and for blessing our province to be outstanding in all church projects. We commit 2022 into God’s capable hands and believe He will raise more entrepreneurs who will sponsor the advancement of the kingdom of God.

**MINISTERIAL AND DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS**
_CHILD EVANGELISM MINISTRY_
## _REPORT_
## **INTRODUCTION**
The National Director Pastor Phyllis Burke and Pastor Kay Chibwana have successfully led the Ministry. The current Chairman, Elder Shepherd Shumirai, works with vibrant Pastors, teachers and friends of the Ministry.
Despite the pandemic challenges, we continued in the same momentum and enthusiasm from 2020. The teachers continued with adapted online methods of delivering services and teachings to the children.
Through this report, we have the privilege of sharing with the readers our national overview, progress, plans and the excitement of our growth. We outline our success, from the national overview to national events, then provincial events and plans.
## **NATIONAL OVERVIEW**
We continued to see the hand of God through interactive meetings, a seminar and a conference, although the physical meetings were not possible for national events. A revival of the national board structure brought excitement; they managed to host a virtual
Parenting Seminar in December, followed by the Young Generation Conference.
The **Parenting Seminar** was well attended beyond our expectations. There was a positive impact, as parents and guardians requested regular sessions after being helped immensely. The sessions focused on the following topics and critical areas: -
1. Parenting tips on how to communicate and be available for children.
2. Identity crisis and how to deal with it. Dr Mable Samasuwo delivered the teaching using practical experiences, and many parents related to the issues addressed.
3. How to guide children through career choices and support their educational needs.
4. How to identify and deal with mental health in children.
5. How to create and provide a kingdom home for children, with the importance of love being emphasized by Pastor Kundai Chibwana.
6. How to identify safeguarding issues and various attributes around the safeguarding of children.
7. Deliverance of many parents from the spirit of rejection after teaching by Pastor Phylis Burke.
The teachings were rich and detailed, followed by a panel for question-and-answer sessions, which helped many parents. Parents and guardians were encouraged to continue loving their children, and a request was put forward for such parenting sessions to be conducted frequently throughout the year.
The **Young Generation Conference** was held during a week of prayer and fasting in December. It incorporated festive season celebrations, was exciting to see both children and teachers coming together and participating in games and quizzes. The children were taught by Apostle Shepherd Mayemu the importance of a good character and being thankful, with emphasis that they have a big Jesus.
## **PROVINCIAL ACTIVITIES**
Provinces ensured that children’s church services were taking place in various settings,
pg. 13
and a range of topics were covered that equipped and ground the children with fundamental teachings from the word of God. Despite the relaxed covid regulations, most instructions and classes were conducted online due to constraints beyond our control. The availability of teachers is not consistent through the provinces because of work and other commitments. The children are participating in regional church services as forerunners and in departments such as praise and worship, ushering, and many more, a sign of growth in the ministry.
KMD (Kingdom and Dance Ministry) made a tremendous success through Elder Obert Mazivisa after being introduced during the Young Generation Conference. It brought great joy to all participants, including the teachers, as the children staged a dancing competition at the conference, rehearsing the same song across the nation.
## **PLANS**
With God’s grace and the unwavering support from our pastors, parents and guardians, we look forward to doing great exploits in 2022. We thank God for his faithfulness and His hand to be upon the Ministry through the year.
## **CLOSING REMARKS**
We thank God for all who have faithfully availed themselves for the work of God in this exciting growing ministry. We greatly appreciate God for giving us local speakers, for Pastors, parents and guardians who support, guide and pray for us.
## _NATIONAL GIRLS REPORT_
We thank God for the substantial growth in 2021 despite the challenges associated with organising virtual gatherings. Our National Girls Director, the Pastorate team, Advisors and leadership of the ministry tirelessly planned programmes and ensured the ministry was functioning. For that, they are genuinely appreciated.
We consistently met every Wednesday for teachings ranging from Church Doctrine, pg. 14
Prayer, Girl Talk, Business and Relationships. Inability to meet physically through lockdown restrictions allowed us to adapt and be creative regarding service delivery. We appreciate our Girls Media Department for being strategic and innovative in promoting engagement that attracted increased attendance with every virtual event, including girls from other nations. Testimonies being received are proof that God is truly transforming lives, and we are thankful for His faithfulness.
The UK Girls of Quality hosted the first-ever Europe Girls Virtual Conference in October, which was power-packed and well attended, with over 300 gadgets logged on throughout, including delegates from Cyprus, Russia, Schengen Region and more. The conference theme was: _“Raising Young Eunors with a Godly Character”,_ and we also celebrated the 40th anniversary of our ministry. Friday evening was marked by a special official opening where we heard testimonies of how the ministry has made a positive impact in the lives of some girls. We were also privileged to hear about the ministry's journey from its inception to date from Pastor Spiwe Mateta.
Together with virtual forerunners, we were blessed by a powerful team of speakers with an insight into the Word of God from across the globe that included Sister Lilian Mandebvu (United Kingdom); Elders Sigauke and Bertha Maringi (South Africa); Pastor Shami Mwale (Cyprus); Pastor Nyasha Ziswa (Zimbabwe) and Overseer Joylyn Rusere (Australia).
Girls were taught to be consistently Kingdomoriented, live balanced lives, and be self-reliant, using their own hands for sustenance. Our mother, Apostle Dr Eunor Guti, serves as a great example of what it takes to be a Young Eunor with character, with a desire to be a blessing to others, be prayerful, and dwell on the Word.
As these phenomenal activities bring us to the end of the year, we are confident that the month of prayer and fasting in October as a nation will allow God to take our individual lives and the ministry to another level. We greatly appreciate the unparalleled support received from our National Girls Director, Pastor Cecilia Zezani, the Pastorate team, Advisors and parents.
We request your continued prayers for the ministry to reach out to more girls and fulfil our objectives of becoming a well-rounded ministry that meets the needs of a girl child.
## _NATIONAL YOUTH REPORT_
## **Introduction**
The youth ministry operates in the seven provinces, namely Scotland, North West, Yorkshire, Greater Midlands, North London, South East England, and Ireland/Isle of Man. We thank God for our father, the Apostle and Servant of God, Professor EH Guti, for his guidance, wisdom and prayers. We appreciate the shepherds given to watch over us, our National Youth Directors, Overseers Cals & Skaa Manyati. They are dedicated to this great work and work alongside the Youth Pastors at every administrative level. We continued to adapt to the unprecedented circumstances that the pandemic thrust upon the world in 2020. The ministry demonstrated and witnessed a real zeal for revival at the National end-of-year Conference. Along with an overview of our 2021 activities, this report details shares our drive and efforts to find creative, impactful solutions to the challenges the youth faced over almost two years.
## **Impact of the Pandemic: Challenges & Opportunities**
The "new normal" from the pandemic is a reality that we had to navigate from the January national lockdown until the lifting of restrictions in July. Youth outreach and engagement became challenged, with attendance of virtual services and events experiencing a dip. Maintaining a relationship with Christ through the Word and in prayer, remaining connected to other young believers, and mental health were the key areas affected. The leaders embarked on various services and gatherings, both virtual and physical, to address these issues. We pray for God's strength, grace, and wisdom to guide us in creating impactful programs that meet the needs of the youth during this season.
We were able to realise opportunities despite the challenging and difficult times. The Media Department kept up the great work of hosting and streaming online services; they created content that gave hope, was engaging, informative and connected with the youth.
The youth continued to trust God experienced His goodness and faithfulness throughout the year. They shared testimonies of being healed from sickness, starting and running businesses, being accepted to college and university, graduating with degrees, gaining meaningful employment and purchasing properties. They experienced joyful reunions when and where it became possible for local assemblies to return to physical services. Regions and Provinces are gradually resuming physical youth activities that include sports days, fellowships, and days out while adhering to government guidelines.
We look forward to having more opportunities to participate in and enjoy our ministry in person whilst maximising the use of virtual platforms.
## **Conferences**
We were highly favoured with opportunities that went beyond our geographic and ministerial borders got involved in the following international church leadership conferences and activities:-
## _International Youth Conference_
We hosted youth from all over the world on **14[th] and 15[th] May** , building on the momentum from our 2020 experience and revolving around the theme "Emerging Generation: Catch and Run with It!". Our guest speaker was Apostle Dr Steve Simukai.
This mid-year conference was held from **8[th] to 10[th] July** , with dynamic speakers, including youth forerunners from across the nation, who shared the Word and taught on topics spanning financial literacy, education and career development. Youth members joined their advisors for an insightful panel discussion around mentorship and relationships. We were privileged to host Overseer S. Mbizvo from Canada as our guest speaker, who reminded us that we may be young but are not weak.
## _Europe Leaders Deeper Life Conference_
pg. 15
_W_ e were honoured to hold a panel discussion with youth leaders and representatives, as well as Advisors and Youth Pastors, at this Conference on **30[th] July** . The theme was "The Emerging Generation", a continuation of the conversation initiated during the July National Youth Conference panel session. We are grateful to have had an open, honest and productive dialogue with our parents and leaders on such an important platform.
_Revival: National Youth Conference_
We gathered physically for the end-of-year National Youth Conference, after almost two years, from **26[th] to 28[th] November,** at the Ezekiel Guti Convention Centre. Over 200 physical attendees and 40 devices on Zoom were recorded, as we fellowshipped and worshipped with our Advisors, Pastors and Directors under the theme "Revival". The program included guest speakers (Pastors Spiwe Mateta & Faith Sande), Advisor Elder Masenda, youth speakers, interactive discussions, Q&A workshops and a worship night featuring guest music artists Elders Obert Mazivisa and Heavens Mutambira. We thank God for the move of the Spirit that was experienced, the 89 young people who responded to the altar call and received their deliverance that night. Director Cals Manyati taught about the Kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit on the final day and led the session where 51 youths gave their lives to Christ and 32 were filled with the Spirit.
## **International Leadership Seminar**
Youth leaders participated in the inaugural Seminar on **6[th] November,** where teachings from Pastor Rejoice Samundombe, International Youth Director Cals Manyati, and Bishop Kapandura encouraged and equipped them in their roles. There was also a deep Q&A session, and we are grateful to God for the opportunity to gather a love gift for our parents, the Archbishops.
giving cheerfully unto their God through this crucial pillar of Missions.
## **Guest House**
Many youths answered the call in March, and April supported the nation towards purchasing a home for our father.
## **Home Talents**
The young people are being empowered to turn their dreams of being entrepreneurs, business people and investors into reality through the School of Talents. From the teachings of our father encouragement from Pastors, Advisors and fellow youths, they are creating and growing wealth through business and investments. We pray that God blesses the work of our hands, that He opens the eyes of our understanding so that we all grasp that Home Talents are for selfdevelopment, independence and selfsufficiency.
## **Weddings**
God has been faithful in hearing our prayers, and we are grateful that we were able to share the joy of our brothers and sisters who wedded. With the lifting of restrictions, physical ceremonies returned, including some who could not hold physical ceremonies and receptions in 2020. Our leaders continue to encourage us to cling to the God of our father, to fear God and walk upright. We continue believing for more godly marriages and weddings.
## **Closing Remarks & Prayer Requests**
Our achievements in this challenging year were made possible through the support received from our leaders and our parents. We appreciate all this support and request for continued prayers so that we may grow holistically, be a people that fear the Lord and are fully committed to the things of God. We very much desire to have good relationships with our parents, families, leaders and peers.
## **Missions**
As an expression of purpose as the "Youth for the Nations", we stood in partnership with our father by working missions in June. We saw the hand of God as the youth joined the nation by

## _INTERCESSORS REPORT_
## **INTRODUCTION**
We thank the God of our father for this ministry of intercession, vital and instrumental in the growth, expansion and maintenance of this unique church. Through His faithfulness, we have remained resolute, adhering and observing the apostle’s doctrine, continuously unwavering in maintaining the spirit of intercession and prayer.
## **ACTIVITIES**
We continued to intercede for our father and mother as well as for the work of God, through selfless commitment to chain slots that ensure the whole day is covered in prayer. The pandemic period has allowed intercessors to take advantage of technology, connecting without fail to pray online and to be encouraged in the word of God. Every first seven days of each month are dedicated to prayer and fasting, which has caused us to grow and experience the manifestation of spiritual gifts such as prophecy. 23 intercessors attended the 2-day prayer retreat in November, with powerful teaching by Overseer Forest, a mighty move of God and experience of miracles.
## MIRACLES
God has demonstrated His grace and faithfulness through miraculous experience during the working of home talents. Some intercessors have built, purchased big houses and opened different businesses abroad (e.g. master farmers, meat suppliers), despite the unprecedented and uncertain times the world has been going through. Others have secured university places to further their education. We have also witnessed the restoration and healing of relationships, the reunion of estranged families as children who had deserted and forsaken their families went back home. Glory be to God.
far without being complemented by the support of our National Administrator and Bishops. We are truly indebted to them, highly esteem and thank them for this role that is upholding the ministry. Above all, we thank the God of our father for the unique seed He gave His Servant that has allowed this ministry to prosper.
## _NATIONAL SINGLE WOMEN_
We thank the God of our Father Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti for protecting us through the challenging pandemic year of COVID-19.
We managed to gather virtually for prayers, meetings and conferences, praying and fasting every first seven days of each month for the work of God and the Servant and Apostles of God Professor EH Guti and Archbishop Eunor Guti. God gave us grace to do that in January and the international prayer month of March.
In February, we had a successful leadership seminar where board members were encouraged and empowered through powerful teachings from various speakers, Bishop & Pastor B Kasese being the main speakers. We held a National Virtual Conference in October 2021, where we received powerful life-changing teachings from speakers including National Administrator Daniel & Rev R Makuwere, Pastors Mr & Mrs Vhareta.
Provinces continued to hold their programs, and we concluded the year with a power-packed National Thanksgiving Big Sunday on 28[th] November 2021.

## **MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE**
## **UK** CORE GROUP MEETINGS
We were in communication with the International Office throughout this process for assistance with the paperwork, and with the Apostles for guidance concerning the structure. We looked at how best we could incorporate some of the programmes run by Gwahafi International into the UK chapter. We also had meetings with all the group leaders, to look at their performance through the year and how we could improve. Some changes that were proposed because of the feedback that we got from these meetings include a need to rebrand Gwahafi so the vision can reach wider UK communities, as opposed to

## **INTRODUCTION**
Praise be unto the God of our father Apostle E.H. Guti who continues to enable the team to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and witness breakthroughs in the lives of individuals. The following is a summary report of 2021 activities under the great mandate of “ **Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19).**

## _MISSIONS REPORT_
## **‘GO YE THEREFORE’ MATTHEW 28:19**
## **YEAR 2021 OVERVIEW**
In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, the year started on a high note, as the nation was encouraged during the Ten Days prayer meetings to continue supporting Missions. The nation was able to support the on-going missions work in over 27 countries, as well as send short term missionaries to various
countries. The expansion of the work in Morocco, with growth of the church in Marrakesh and the massive breakthrough of the opening of the new assembly in Casablanca, was one of the major highlights of 2021. Indeed, the God of our Father EH Guti is faithful.
## • **DIRECT DEBITS & STANDING ORDERS**
At every National Council meeting, Overseers, Regional Pastors and Chairing Elders were requested to go and encourage every believer to support Missions through direct debits and standing orders. A simple _“How To Set Up Standing Order”_ instruction/guidance was shared for their use and direct debits forms made available for electronic distribution. • **JUNE 2021 - THE UNFINISHED MANDATE**
This project was decentralised from national level and Provincial Missions Committees mandated to spearhead the campaign, using the same template from June/July 2020. The church was not deterred from working for their God although lockdown was still in place and not able to meet physically. Much prayer was done and teaching of the Word through meetings arranged by Provinces and Regions. We witnessed the hand of God as much money was raised during the month

REPORT 2021

## **1. Financial Overview**
The year 2021 began during the second peak of the Covid 19 pandemic in the UK but the church continued to see continued growth in tithe income. We are pleased to report a surplus in our tithe account for 2021. This was achieved through month-on-month hard work by our provincial finance committees in controlling expenditure while encouraging members to contribute consistently.
## **2. Incorporated Charity Status**
Despite unprecedented financial administration challenges posed by virtual church services and disruption to physical meetings, the church transitioned successfully from an unincorporated charity to an incorporated entity. From the 29th of March 2021, all current account numbers changed for tithes, freewill offering, missions, ministries, ministers’ tithes, provincial accounts. A successful campaign to support all our members to update their direct-debit mandates, standing orders, and internet banking details by that date was coordinated by the national finance team in partnership with the provinces, the national council, and the national executive.
Incorporation means that the property of the charity can now be vested in the name of the incorporated body. This avoids the need for the execution of deeds transferring land or investments to new names whenever new
holding trustees are appointed. The trustees may now make contractual agreements, sue, and be sued in the name of the incorporated body. We thank the God of our father for helping us to officially become Forward in Faith Church International Incorporated (UK) from the 1st of April 2021.
## **3. Board Composition**
Following the promotion to glory of Elder Masimbarasi (in Dec 2020) and the departure of one other committee member, we welcomed Elder Gonye and Elder Mangaba in 2021.
|**Name**|**Role**|
|---|---|
|Elder Ronald Bevan|Chairperson|
|Elder Gwen
Kanyangu|Deputy Chairperson|
|Elder Merry-Mercy

|Elder Martin

|Elder Patience

|Deacon Carole
Makombe|National Executive
Assistant|
We held an away day in the first half of the year where each board member was given extra responsibilities for provincial finance engagement, internal audit, assets management, human resources, and information governance support.
## **4. Tithing**
All provinces made a positive contribution to the surplus reported in 2021. Our established provinces (SEEP, GMP, NLP and Scotland) continued to provide financial support to ZEGU and Mbuya Dorcas Hospital in 2021. The three new provinces will begin contributions in 2022. The national office was in surplus for most of the year but reported deficits in at least four months owing to the concessions given to help new provinces amongst other reasons. Provinces contributed to help service EGCC running costs as the national centre didn’t get hired as much as we had hoped due to the pandemic.
## **5. External Audits**
We are continuing to comply with the laws of this nation and are happy to report that our books of
pg. 26
accounts were audited on time. We established an internal audit function in 2021 to support the national and provincial offices in continuing the excellent work they are doing.
## **6. National Finance Symposiums**
We held two national finance symposiums in the year 2021 to engage with provincial finance colleagues and the national executive. The first one was held on the 6[th] of February 2021 aimed at promoting the successful transition to incorporated status. The second one was held on the 3[rd] of September 2021 to appraise options for supporting new provinces following a nationwide restructure.

The restructure led to election of three new provincial finance committees in North West England, Ireland, and Yorkshire provinces respectively. Representatives from the national finance committee facilitated these elections. National and international remittances were waived for the first three months ending November 2021 to help each new provinces only. North West province received additional financial support from willing provinces to help close a funding gap for their first three months of operation as a newly formed province.
We are believing God that more provincial finance seminars and national finance symposiums will be scheduled in 2022 to promote the spread and adoption of best practice from the Forward in Faith Guidance, Rules and Policy manual as well as the Finance Policy, Rules and Guidelines. We thank the God of Ezekiel for the guidance, leadership and prayers of our father Professor Ezekiel Guti and our mother Dr. Eunor Guti in 2021.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued**
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FORWARD IN FAITH MINISTRY U.K.
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Forward In Faith Ministry U.K. (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Page 3
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FORWARD IN FAITH MINISTRY U.K.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; - Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transaction outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
- Reviewing minute of meetings of those charged with governance;
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more the compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves international concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FORWARD IN FAITH MINISTRY U.K.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Musical instruments - 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance Office equipments - 25% on reducing balance

## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued**
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FORWARD IN FAITH MINISTRY U.K.
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Forward In Faith Ministry U.K. (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Page 3
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FORWARD IN FAITH MINISTRY U.K.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; - Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transaction outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
- Reviewing minute of meetings of those charged with governance;
- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more the compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves international concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF FORWARD IN FAITH MINISTRY U.K.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
