The Trust sees itself as a servant ministy of the worldwide Body of Christ. The Tn￿ is mindful to
put no fin2n¢ial burden on those we seek to serve. No fornial charge is made for our ministy - only
a donatson sought accordtng lo the means of the beneficiaries. Our donors in Britain make up the
shortfall in the operating COSL8 of our ministy.
We endeavour to make our miDisty 2eeessible to all. regardless ofmeriL following theJesus model.
ACHIEVEMENf AIW PERFORNIANCE
Overyiew
The work of the Trust is to support the ARK- a special community and ministy of resideniial care,
Christian discipleship and rehabilitation. The ARK is b&sed in Churachandpur, ManipuT. NE Indi&
Our vision is to see those who have slipped through the cracks of society restored and transfom]ed
by the love of Jesus - those Stmggling addiction at)d homelessness. those may be Htv+
andlor suffering other physical or mentsl hea]th issues.
Isaiah 61 is our theme Scripture for the ARK. "to pr￿laIM g(xxl news to the poor, to bind up the
broken-hearted, to pr(Klaim freedom for the c4)tives and release from darkness for the prisoners"
Our mission is the rebuildin& rene￿n8 and resioring of broke￿ ruine(L blighted lives.
By'being J&stLS" to those who have lost their vthy - broken in spirit and rejected by their families
and society - the ARK offers a loving Christian family to which they can belong, and within which
they can flourish.
The base of operations in NE India Is the Liwng Word Centre (LWC) in Churachandpur ("CCpur").
which is the second to1￿ of Mampur after the state capitsL Imphal.
Thi's area of NE India is effectively under martial law by the Amied Forces (Special Powers) Act.
However, the need for visitors to obtain a Protected Area Perniit (PAP) remained suspended
throughout 2022.
The work of IVFLT. in seeking to serve G)d in situations such &s this. calls foi wsdom. courage
and sacrifice. The ttwtees wish to express our overwhelming gratitude to our directors. Diki and
Stephen Hawkins, and their local team who. through God's love and grace, have a Nqsion to care for
the people of Ccpur and are motivated to undertake this Ch￿lenging work. To God be the glory.
The TnLSt does noL at presenL cary out ministy withm the UK. Nonetheless. back in 2019, and
wiih the support of the WFLT TnLStees. our ministy th"rectors. Diki and Stephen Hawkins, slepped
out in faith. leaving the ARK and Dik]"'s hometown of Ccpur to come to BritsiIL to "lay tracks" for
the ￿tUre expansion of the ministy. trusttng in God to continue His loving COUT]sel, guidance and
provision.

The Work and Ministry ofWFLT
Background to our work in Manipur, Indi
Manipur is one of the triba] states of the north-east of India and Covets an area of 8pproL 20.000
sq kni (about the size of Wales in the UK) It has a populknon of approx. 3 million (again about
the size of that of Wales). and is predominately Christian th2nks to Welsh missionaries who carne
to Manipur followmg the Welsh Revival of1910.
Geographically. Manipur shares an unfenced border with Myanmarl Bunna thich was drawn up in
the coloTJial era wtth little or no regard for the indigenous population (the Pemberton Line).
Nonetheless, there has continued io be relatively free movement for locals lo cross the border for
agriculture. trade. and to visit the other half of their families.
Sadly, alongside this benign cross-Ix)rder traffic, high-grade heroin also comes into Manipur from
Myanmar. Many young men in Manipur - without work other than agriculture or one of the few
government Jobs - fa]1 victim to the drug which is highly add]'ctive. As a ￿su[t, they bring poverty
and shame on themselves and their families and end up dests￿te 2nd sleeping on the streets.
The Word for Life TnLSt operates its ARK ministy out of the Living Word Centre (LWC) in
Churachandpur (Ccpur), close to the border. There are many drug addicts in Ccpur and no small
number of commercial rehab centres. However. the ARK is the only rebab centre which wtll care
for addicts free of charge. following a Christian model. The ARK and the nearby ARK Garden,
offer a safe and loving environment in %thich to break a drug habit and to gel a fresh start in life.
We are pleased to report that our rehab reg]me ha8 a low relapse rate for those who complete the
18 month rehab course. and that p&st ARK graduates regularly retum for reunions and to encourage
those Siill undergoll￿ rehab.
Tht ARK (Ccpur)
Ever since Inth'a lifted lockdo1￿ restrictions in 2021. the gates of the ARK communitt.es in CCPur
- both the Living Word Centre (LWC) and the ARK Garden - have been open to all those seeking
help.
As it has done for many years now. 2022 began the ARK Annual Sports Day. It's a lllghlight
at the start of the year for all the ARK commu￿ty. AnotheF highlight of the early months of 2022
W&8 to hear of several brave new residents of the ARK v4ho were staykng the course during the
hardest part of their recovery. The ARK continues to provide a safe place to seek freedom from
drug dependency and grow as a disciple of Jesus. It is also a loving Chn"st12n family.
COVID was still present in Ccpur towrL but ujfections were much less than before (and much
les5 than in the UK at that time). allowed the d￿.]Y program at the ARK of worship. prayer,
Bible study &nd fellowship to be open to the public without fear or hllM4rance. Outreach and home
visits were also able to continue to those trapped in their addictions.

For the Year Ended 31" December 2022
In the spring of 2022 there was a huge 4 week-long revival Crusade in CCPUT. led by a young
evangelical Christian team from tbe neighbouring state of Mizoram. This attracted thousands of
people to the town and every night the ARK family were able to be a part of It.
After 18 months of lockdowi4 Stephen & Diki were again able to visit India between 3 to 30
August 2022, overcoming considerable visa and air travel dislocations. As s¢)on as Stephen heard
that he had been granted his the family booked the next available sensibly-priced tickets.
pack& emailed theiT SUPPOrters the news. flew and reached Ccpur witlll"n the week.
In the autumn of 2022 anotheT ARK reunion was hel(t welcoming back former ARKTes and
pastoral team n]¢mbers. Folks came from all over Manipur. to worslmp, pray, and weep together
and to catch up. They also shared a very special meal together that was sponsored by Stephen &
Diki's home group in the U.K
In September. after Stephen & Dikj s returo some petsonal events overtook them. As the UK
gathered to observe the Queen's funeral, news came from CCPur that Diki's father had p&ssed
away that morning. Robert -'Pa' _w&% 75 and had been poorly for some time. ￿'S funeral was
held the following day. Although it w&8 not possible for Dikn. to be there physically. she wa8 able
to join online to be part of all the proceedings.
Stephen, Diki and family were especially thankfijl to Crt)d for their time with him during their
August visit. Diki felt the loss of her father keenly, but w&8 heartened to see how much he was
Roved and honoured at his funeral service by many from across the different groups, tribes and
denominations. It tums out that Robert W&8 something of a bridge between communitses in the
otherwise factlous town of Ccpur.
Robert Was also the ARK'S honorary 'Grandf2ther'. The ARKies would often call upon him to
help them oul bits of wisdom and tools then practical woik needing to be done. Some were
even around his hospital bed caring for him as he passed away peacefully.
The ARK UK
Despite the pandemic, our dwectors. Stephen & Dikn" have not been furloughed but cnntinued to
work fulltime to promote and build support for the ARK. and to Work together with the T￿leeS to
enable ihe T[￿t to grow and be a"ble&smg and a help to the losL broken aThd rejecled ￿ both India
and the UK.
We still believe the Lord is leading us to establish an ARK UK a Christian community of worship,
th"scipleship and healing. As the world moves out of lockdown we are praying for more
opportunities to share our vision and gather more SUp￿rt and more supporters ("Partners- in-
Vision") to See thi5 exciting mIn￿ty grow.
Stephen's Theological Traininz
In autumn 2022, WFLT Direcior. Stwhen Hawkins. began his final year of his Applied Theology
course at Moorlands College. Dorset. He also continued to serve in the Wells Vineyard Chureh on
Sundays as his course placement.
Stephen's ttu'tion fees have been covered by a mature-student bursary and support from fn.ends and
family. No WFLT charitable fimds have been expended on Stephen's training.
In 2022, Stephen 2Eso got involved with the"Open the Book" projecL bringing to life Bible
