Achievements and Performance SORP reference Para 1.20 Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. The past year and seen our church planting consultants building on the relationships they have enjoyed, some over many years. Due to logistics, they have had a couple of their international team meetings on Zoom but managed to get to Switzerland in the autumn which was a good time of connection and mutual encouragement. The giftings in this team complement one another well and it was good to talk, pray and wrestle through some of the challenges faced by each of them in their spheres of influence. The consultants also travelled to France to spend time with 'old' teammates and were privileged to engage with some of the people they have been working with as they seek to establish communities of Jesus followers in rural areas on the Italian border. A trip to Northern Ireland provided time with a family they discipled in Bath with whom they are in regular contact. Establishing a Kingdom business network has been enormously beneficial. This reaches as far as Burundi and, more recently, Dubai. They hope to multiply this in the southern hemisphere in the next season. Their input in Bath continues in various guises, particularly in mentoring a world leader in trauma recovery Once again, they have spent time in Plymouth and, when they are stretched logistically regarding travel, there have been many hours spent on WlhatsApp I FaTirne I Zoom calls as well as preparing for these in seeking God through prayer and fasting A considerable amount of time was still spent in South Africa where connections have expanded. It has been gratifying year of seeing a number of people mature in their faith as well as coaching them through some particularly difficult challenges. The family we support in Burundi are continuing to partner with two local ministries called Yada Burundi and Hope for Tomorrow Global, whose actions include agricultural training, constructing secure low-cost homes, discipleship groups, Bible distribution, teaching and preaching. vocational training, giving nutritional and healthcare support. Alongside these organisations, Nathan has been developing a programme called Rebuild Restore, buildin a small team
which works with some of the poorest and most vulnerable communities in Burundi - mainly building homes, community facilities, at the same time developing local vocational skills, and sharing the transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ. Nathan and Sarah are also leading three house groups in their home, where many local leaders gather, and have a place to grow spiritually. The holistic work is all for building God's kingdom across Burundi - breaking the cycles of poverty both physically and spiritually. We have continued to support individuals in Kenya with resources for House Churches. The church planter who had spent 5 years in Kenya and Uganda continues to support the house churches they had planted to provide advice and support by Zoom or other social media. It is hoped they may be able to visit a ain next ear.

It is based on the following context.. Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held Para 1.22 The income for the Trust is consistent. That is, the income is all from individual or local church donations and the majority is by direct debit or standing order. In the past additional donations have always been made for additional or exceptional specific objectives if an appeal is made to churches. Costs can be controlled, as they are associated with the mission activities of the Trust and can be substantially reduced or curtailed by reducing those activities. Additional work or commttments are not undertaken unless the financial support for them has been identified and pledged or implemented. The policy states that.. Given the above context the resep4es should be kept to a minimum and at no time exceed approximately one month's current expenditure. If the resep4es do start to exceed that amount then additional opportunities for mission or of helping those in need at home or abroad should be found. The only exptIOn to this policy is if a donation is made on an annual basis to cover
particular costs throughout the year. In this case the annual sum can be retained and used as required over the year.

Independent Examiner's Report I report on the accounts for the year ended 28 February 2025 set out in the attached CC16a Receipts and Payments account. 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 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is required. It is my responsibility to: Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act), and - lo state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Statement of Financial Activities My examination was carried out in accordance with the General directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below. Notes to the Financial Statements 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 requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met., or 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
