The Charity is managed by the trustees who are involved on a day to day basis with the affairs of the church. The charity is reliant on support of volunteer help for all its activities and the trustees have established controls to ensure all relevant laws and regulations are abided by.

The charity trustees meet quarterly to review the affairs of the charity.

Achievements and Performance

PRAYER - We continued to conduct online evening Prayers every Friday night to provide guidance, prayer and reflection as well as companionship and spiritual support for our members, their friends, family and networks.

SUNDAY SERVICE - We continued to provide a number of programmes all day on Sunday to support members and their families online. Every month is themed to offer renewed support to vulnerable members in our community and allow individuals to learn, equip and encourage each other.

OUTREACH- This year has allowed us to be successful in welcoming new people across the London area and internationally to our church via our social media platforms. Arrangements were made for the new comers and new believers’ classes to cater for international time zones and to allow as many members and international family members

MINISTRIES:-

Women of Excellence International - Conferences and seminars were organised online on health relationships, business advice and support linking members to relevant professionals.

The ministry also helps women dealing with the additional pressure on mental health, family and marriage matters. Counselling sessions were also introduced especially due to the impact Covid had caused.

Iron Sharpens Iron - This year Iron sharpens Iron focused lively weekly sessions focusing on practical spiritual and physical advice, debate controversial and lively topics catering for Young Adults and mature believers. These session were popular and will continue to run as we come out of restriction.

Throne Room – A ministry launched during the pandemic to pray with believers and isolated community members every night during the pandemic. Very successful sessions offering people hope through the darkest days of the pandemic,

The ministry continue to have prayer requests sent to us worldwide.

Report of The Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023

Nigh Vigil – Held every 1[st] Friday offering Deliverance, healing and restoration for believers

Golden Ladies 50+ - The Golden Ladies 50plus ministry was reduced from previous years due to the social nature of the ministry and the COVID19 pandemic which makes most members in a very vulnerable category. We did sessions on using social media to contact loved ones.

Evangelism/Community - The Church, as many support networks found it challenging to physically reach those in need this year. We traditionally support the homeless as a demonstration of our faith. We deliver food parcels to those who find it difficult to feed and we provide non-perishable. goods too.

GriefShare – We continue to prepare counsellors to launch the Griefshare programme to help those bereaved in the community.

Healing Rooms - this ministry helps the lonely, the hurting, the depressed and those going through emotional and physical healing. It provides listening ears and prayers for those in need. The ministry has reached out to many in the London area and on the phone to many overseas. Offering one to one counselling and coaching with a senior minister.

Great expectations - reaching out and connecting to young adults and singles.

Christmas and Easter Programmes: - Ensuring no members felt isolated during the holiday period, offering food services for members of the local community, old people and children.

Building Project: - As restrictions have relaxed we have begun working on the 89 Vallentin Rd site working on a restoration and modernisation project – which will provide the local community a modern and multipurpose development and community focused centre. The Immanuel Family and life development centre will be open for use soon.

IMMANUEL INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Immanuel International Christian Ministries for the year ended 30 June 2023

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2023, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

  1. Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;

  2. To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act; and

  3. To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that

  2. Proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, · and Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, or

  3. To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
