GLORY LIFE CHURCH
Trustees' Report
The trustess present their accounts and report for the year ended 31 December 2021 The trustess present their accounts and report for the year ended 31 December 2010
Objectives and Activities of the Charity
The objectives of the Charity as set out in the Declaration of Trust are:
a) the advancement of the Christian Faith in the United Kingdom and abroad b) the relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress or who are aged or sick, in the United Kingdom or abroad.
The principal activities of the church are Christian worship and involvement of various ministries and ministers of religion in propagating Christian tenets to members (and nonmembers) of the Ministry at various meetings.
To achieve these objectives, the Church was involved in Christian outreach programmes designed to increase Christian awareness and spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Achievements and Performance of the Charity
The Church continued to preach the gospel and increase awareness of the christian faith. Many people were ministered to during the year by way of prayer and counselling, and offered help and support as appropriate. Due to restrictions from the Covid-19, church services were conducted via Zoom. It was an opportunity for people who are not usually members of the church to conveniently join in from different parts of the world.
Future Development and other related activities
The Church will continue to focus its activities to meet the objectives of the charity. There would be more emphasis on Evangelism, Worship, and Missions. The zoom meetings will continue for the foreseable future. We plan to continue to enhance the relevance of the online prayer; encourage fastings and prayer for spiritual purposes.
Approval
This report was approved by the board on 25 July 2023.
