PRECEPT MINISTRIES UK ANNUAL REPORT 1 DECEMBER 2023 - 30 NOVEMBER 2024

ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS

Name: Precept Ministries UK Charity Registration Number: 1072938 Our public name is Precept UK, but our official name remains Precept Ministries UK Address: Church Centre, Dews Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP2 7SN UK

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is constituted with a Board of Trustees and one National Director who oversees the running of the Ministry. The office is rented from a local church in Salisbury, Wiltshire. We employ 3 full-time staff: Helen Watts (National Director / Trainer); Sharon Goldie (Accounts / Administrator) and Zac Prosser (Marketing and Communications Manager). A part-time volunteer has also supported the ministry with administration during the year. New Trustees are appointed by majority vote and are selected because of their professional competence and support for the Ministry work. Precept Ministries UK was set up in 1998 by Charity Trust Deed.

Routine decisions are made by the UK National Director. Major decisions about strategy, fundraising, staff recruitment and out-of-the ordinary staff matters (e.g. disciplinary) are decided corporately by Trustees in conjunction with the National Director. The Ministry is affiliated to Precept Ministries International based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Ministry’s principle funding sources are voluntary donations and the sale of inductive Bible study resources with a loss being made this Financial Year of -£726. The Ministry continues to take practical steps to tighten internal financial controls in line with the Charity Commission guidelines (CC8 Jul 12). A reserves policy of 3 months operating costs is in place and is monitored by the office and Trustees on an annual basis. Total sales for the year were £27,804 (an increase on the previous year of 34%). Total donations were £76,020 (a 9% increase on the previous year) . In addition to one-off gifts, as at 30 Nov 2024, 125 people regularly financially support us through standing orders or direct debits (a reduction of 3% on Nov 2023).

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

INTRODUCTION

Our training continues to be focussed mainly online with some in-person training events, including to Yorkshire Camps, Neath Gospel Hall, New Malden Baptist Church, and Christchurch Coventry. Ministry to men also expanded this year.

We have continued to offer regular online Bible study courses, training and leader meetings. Our social media presence has continued to grow and we now have 3,070 followers on our YouTube channel, up from 2,400 a year ago (a 28% increase) . We also launched the Precept Training Pathway (PTP) in July, an online training platform offered at no charge to teach people how to study the Bible and how to lead Bible study class discussions(using the ministry’s most in-depth resources).

This year, we had orders from 44 different countries (a 19% increase on the previous year) . There were 359 orders in total (a 31% increase on the year before) .

We have continued working flexibly from home and in the office.

REACHING THE NEXT GENERATION

Yorkshire Camps

We were invited back to Yorkshire Camps to train their camp leaders. We taught them how to study Biblical prophesy. We did this by a mix of straight teaching, and also taking them through one of our Bible study materials, ‘40Minute: Discovering What the Future Holds’. We had some encouraging feedback:

3

Noah : “ I have been given more of an insight into how to study Old Testament prophecy and have seen the importance of Biblical dates. I also found slowing down and noting which questions to ask of Biblical prophecy very helpful.

James:I gained a deeper understanding of how to understand prophecy and the different interpretations that can come from it. I have a much better understanding of picking apart the word and the methods of listing to help me study the Bible. I really enjoyed the 40Minute Bible study and how interactive it is. I also love studying Scripture word for word, verse by verse, and being able to take time to understand the context .”

Molly, Hannah, Andy and Nigel at Yorkshire Camps

Getting stuck into the Word

Weekly Young Adults Bible Study

We continued to meet weekly during term times with a group of dedicated young adults from across the country, aged 16+.

We studied two books, ‘God’s Redemption Story’ and ’40 Minute Discovering What the Future Holds.’

The young adults grew in faith and confidence in handling the Word of God.

4

Josha (photo to R), one young adult from Germany, commented:

I found this study very interesting and I learned a lot of new things. This study helped me to understand the Bible more.”

We shall continue to meet with young adults next year to equip them to handle God’s Word accurately and teach them how to study God’s Word.

TRAINING IN CHURCHES

Neath Gospel Hall Community

Andrew, our prayer coordinator, is an elder in this church.

They pray for Precept and have a real passion and heart for supporting the ministry.

Christchurch Coventry

We were invited to Christchurch Coventry for a weekend of Bible training for adults and teens. Nigel also spoke on Sunday morning.

5

Reverend Arthur and his wife Lynne (photo to R) set up Precept Bible study groups after the weekend, using the New Inductive Study series. Lynne has run two groups since our visit and this will continue in 2025.

New Malden Baptist, London

We spoke at their morning service and did an afternoon’s training using our 40Minute Bible study on Spiritual Warfare.

Simon and Andy (photo above right) are leaders at the church.

INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS

Precept Western Europe Directors Meeting

We hosted some Precept Western Europe Directors at our offices in March.

The following countries were represented: Ireland, England/Wales, France, Austria and Germany, Finland, Italy and Moldova. We discussed strategy for growth and reaching the next generation.

6

Visit to the USA

Meeting with Kay Arthur, Bob and Diane Vereen and former Precept staff members

Mrs Kay Arthur set up Precept with her husband Jack in 1970. Since then the ministry has grown around the world to be in over 190 countries. We have hosted Kay on teaching tours to the UK over the years. She is now 91 years old.

We also met with Bob and Diane Vereen who helped establish Precept across the UK, and some of our original Precept trainers in downtown Chattanooga.

We also visited the home of Precept in Noah Reid Road, which is currently up for sale.

7

PRECEPT LEADER ACADEMY (PLA)

We ran two PLA courses ‘Learn to Lead, Lead to Inspire’; one in April and one in November. In April we studied the book of Micah, using the New Inducive Study Series (NISS).

Valdene : “I loved learning and have been encouraged to share Bible Study techniques and components with others from what I have learnt.

Tina : “ I appreciated the tips shared on how to start a study group and lead an NISS study. I have been very encouraged to lead NISS studies and also use the books for my own personal study

Faye : “ Studying Micah was so rich - I loved all of it ! I felt very encouraged, too, by the morning devotions. The practical parts about leading an NISS will be invaluable, and, LORD-willing, so will the sessions about raising up other leaders.

The PLA has been an excellent tool for raising up new Precept leaders. In November we ran a PLA on the book of Titus. See next page .

8

The Titus PLA course consisted of the following elements:

We had some very helpful feedback on this course including:

Kay from Ireland :

There is great need for Christians to grow deeper in God’s word , they do need encouragement in knowing that they too can actually discover God’s truth by themselves and experience how awesome that is!! I have gained ” loads of knowledge. I feel equipped to lead a PUP class now .

Latasha from the USA :

I love how the discussion from proper observation gives everyone such different insights/application…..really liked the comment about healthy church’s leading to healthy community.”

9

THE PRECEPT BIBLE SCHOOL (PBS)

In February we ran a Bible study on the book of Joel. We had people on the course from Scotland, Wales, England, Germany, Spain and South Africa – see maps and feedback comments below.

David . David is originally from Peru and is a missionary in Madrid, Spain. “ I have been challenged to live a real faith and return to God with all my heart. The only way to escape the coming Day of the Lord is returning and serving Him in obedience .”

Joy : “God is a loving and merciful Father who longs for our heart to be wholly dedicated to Him and has gone to extreme lengths to call us back to Him. It ah[ Wee ~~a~~ has impressed on me my need to spend more time fasting and praying .”

We continued to support attendees in their own disciple making. During the PBS we pointed them to additional resources that we have as a ministry, such as our YouTube channel, different studies which are available online and training and workshop events, and we encouraged them to attend future PBSs.

In May we studied 2 Peter and the last one for 2024 was on the book of Lamentations in October. We had people from South Africa Spain, as well as around the UK join us.

----- End of picture text -----

We asked attendees why they had come on the Precept Bible School and these were some of their comments: Richard: “ Lamentations is also so relevant to the times we are living in, I want it to speak deeply to me this weekend .” Elmari:I want to be obedient to hear God's voice and be equipped to get an online ministry going to help other women grow their faith and support each other .” Andy: “ Church has been difficult for the past year, I’m feeling dry spiritually and am looking forward to immersing myself in God’s Word for 3 days .”

We thank God for those who joined us and for their testimonies: see below

Richard:Lamentations has really brought home the seriousness of rebellion against the Lord but also the depth of His grace . The study was so relevant to the current world situation and especially so in the context of Israel, and the first anniversary of October 7th. It is a sobering book and deals with things we wouldn’t want to go through. Dreaded things are happening in Israel today and there is no answer except the Prince of Peace .”

Andy : “ It was a wonderful weekend. The studies showed me a clearer picture of the sin of God's people in the time leading up to their exile, of the repeated warnings of God and urging them to repent and trust in Him and of the consequences the people faced.

We saw very clearly God's sovereignty and continued love and mercy \‘ o towards His people.”

ENCOURAGING MEN

This year we have studied three books, the prophesies of Daniel in the 40Minute study Discovering What The Future Holds, 40Minute Being a Disciple, Counting the Real Cost and recently we started our New Inductive Study Series (NISS) on 1 Thessalonians.

We also had our first men’s weekend away at The Sporting Manor in Devon which was excellent. A group of 12 of us went for the whole weekend and we studied the subject of discipleship, and also played sport – see photos next page.

We have booked again for 2025.

.11 12

In September we met for a special dinner cooked by professional chefs (photo above). We also raised over £300 for Christians Against Poverty (CAP). In November over 30 men met for a full English breakfast and where our Autumn/Winter study series on NISS 1 Thessalonians was advertised.

THE PRECEPT TRAINING PATHWAY (PTP)

This online platform enables people to learn how to study the Bible Precept-Upon-Precept and lead Bible study discussions. Through videos, quizzes and freeto-download materials, students can go at their own pace. Of 145 people who have created an account, 100 people from 14 countries have enrolled onto a course and 20 have completed it. More courses will be added in 2025.

Filming Genesis Part 3

LEADER MEETINGS

We have met with Precept leaders fortnightly to study the Word of God together using ‘Lord Help Me Grow Strong Spiritually in 28 Days’, to pray for each other and discuss issues leaders have with their classes.

These meetings have been invaluable for all concerned and provides an excellent means to stay connected with those who are running classes across the country.

This will continue in 2025.

ADMINISTRATION AND MARKETING

Sharon Goldie (Precept UK Administrator) continues to use her excellent financial and administrative skills to keep Precept UK functioning effectively and efficiently.

This year she has despatched over 2,745 books (a reduction of 5%). Amongst other essential ministry tasks, she has printed numerous Precept studies for customers, kept accurate financial records and has been the face of the ministry when dealing with customers. The ministry would not function without her.

Sharon communicates regularly with Precept International, and with other Precept European offices and is often sought out for advice and help from them. She continues to oversee a volunteer who has came into the office once a week.

Social Media / Marketing / Communications

Zac Prosser’s skills in videography and media have been greatly valued this year with the release of the Precept Training Pathway (PTP). He has been able to collate numerous hours of video and create a training platform that is benefitting many people in the UK and around the world. We have received a number of wonderful testimonies about the training: Here are a few testimonies:

“This teaches how I can make the most of reading a Bible passage by making a careful and even meticulous observation and then correct interpretation. He Himself will

become evident and will make me know Him better. I am more willing, more open, and more eager to spend time with Him and to know Him better.

" It is impossible to do an inductive study without feeling moved inside . The method serves as the guiding thread, the one that has allowed me to have this experience , one that brought me closer to God and let His Holy Spirit teach, guide, and shape me ."

" The materials are excellent, all the support is great, and this new platform promises !"

Zac continues to use his creative skills to reach people and encourage them to study the Bible inductively. He posts on social media very regularly, keeping Precept UK in the public eye.

REGULAR COMMUNICATION

We communicate regularly with our constituents as follows:

ADDITIONAL REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

The day-to-day management has been delegated by the Trustees to Helen Watts (National Director, also known as ‘Molly’).

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the
donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift
and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or
the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Donated goods
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.
Donated services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on
receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised
as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income from donations
when receivable.

2.4 ASSETS
Intangible fixed assets
Heritage assets
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or
net realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net
realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the
contract.
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
Tangible fixed assets for
use by charity
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14.2.
Governance and support
costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
They are valued at cost.
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least:
Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts.
Provisions for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date.
Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments.
Stocks and work in
progress
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of
the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Investment gains and
losses
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have
physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody
or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5.
They are valued at cost.
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
They are valued at cost.
Basic financial
instruments
Redundancy cost
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
Settlement of insurance
claims
Insurance claims are only included in the SOFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SOFA.

investments
They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial
recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the
charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected
to be received.
The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and
cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit
and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment
purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.

25.1 Please provide details of the charity's exposure to credit risk (the risk of incurring a loss due to a debtor not paying what is owed) , liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to meet short term financial demands) and market risk (the risk that the value of an investment will fall due to changes in the market) arising from financial instruments to which the charity is exposed at the end of the reporting period and explain how the charity manages those risks.

25.2 Please give details of the amount of change in the fair value of basic financial instruments (debtors, creditors, investments (see section 11, FRS 102 SORP)) measured at fair value through the SoFA that is attributable to changes in credit risk.

Exposure is very low. Most people pay (e.g. for resources) at point of sale. Credit is extended to only a few customers who are well known to the Ministry. Liquidity risk is low and the Charity meets its target for maintaining 3 months-worth of operating resources. If there was a liquidity problem, Precept International may well step in to help out. There is no market risk.

Note 29 Additional Disclosures

The following are significant matters which are not covered in other notes and need to be included to provide a proper understanding of the accounts. If there is insufficient room here, please add a separate sheet.

Mr Nigel Watts is the Chair of Trustees for Precept UK (PUK) and is a voluntary PUK National Director. During the Financial Year 1 Dec 2023 to 30 Nov 2024 (FY23/24), Mr Nigel Watts was also acting on behalf of Precept International (PMI) based in Chattanooga Tennessee USA and he received remuneration from them which was not part of PUK funding (PMI is a separate entity under American Law). Under his remit, he has responsibility and oversight for the separate Precept Ireland and Precept Scotland offices on behalf of Precept International (PMI).

As part of his duties Mr Nigel Watts was allocated a Budget by PMI in the furtherance of PMI's Vision and Objectives (which are also shared with PUK). Expenditure on behalf of Mr Watts' various activities was paid for by PUK and held on the Balance Sheet as a DEBTOR. Full refunds of all costs incurred were made quarterly by PMI and were supported by clear audit trails of costs incurred. At the end of this Financial Year, PMI had refunded back £5 less than was required, so this amount is transferred to next Financial Year on the Balance Sheet to be covered by that year's refunded costs.
