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.|Covid-19 has impacted Proclaim Trust’s ministry
since March 2020. Many in person events have been
postponed. While some in-person events were
allowed between August 2020 to July 2021, Barry
Woodward also undertook a number of online events
with churches and prisons during this time.
Proclaim Trust’s main achievements during August
2020 to July 2021 were:
- 21 in person church outreach / parachurch and
22 online church / parachurch outreach events. At
the majority of events people who attended were
invited to make a commitment to the Christian faith;
were welcomed by the church whether or not this
was the case; were offered different types of support
depending on the individual organisation; and
offered prayer for any needs they had.
An example of the events that took place include an
in-person event in the north of England where 15
people made a commitment to faith. A number of
residents attended from the local Salvation Army.
One resident who had recently experienced a life
changing event said that he had asked Jesus into his
life and it was a fresh start for him. He was going to
attend a discipleship course.
- 9 in-person prison / young offenders and 13 prison
broadcasts took place, which produced positive
responses from prisoners and staff. Prisoners’ lives
were changed due to the spiritual experience of
becoming a Christian and/or due to the role model of
the speaker, Barry Woodward. On the 19thJuly
2020, during Covid 19, a recorded message of
Barry’s life transforming testimony of hope was
broadcast by the National Prison Radio into all 50%
of the prisons in England and Wales, which had the
potential to reach tens of thousands of prisoners.
Stories include those of a prisoner who read Once an
Addict, Barry’s autobiography, while in solitary
confinement in prison. This was instrumental in their
journey to becoming a Christian whilst in prison.
Barry met them at an outreach event, where they
made a recommitment. They said the book kick
started their journey, but then went ‘off track’ for a
while. This person got back on track again and saw
some amazing changes in their family life moving
forward.
Since working in partnership with prisons
Proclaim Trust has been receiving letters from
prisoners writing about the impact of the message
from Barry Woodward. Every letter is replied to, this
has continued throughout Covid 19.| |---|---| |Proclaim Trust has also distributed over 50,000|Proclaim Trust has also distributed over 50,000|Proclaim Trust has also distributed over 50,000|Proclaim Trust has also distributed over 50,000|Proclaim Trust has also distributed over 50,000|| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |copies of Barry Woodward’s autobiography to|||||| |prisons throughout the UK between||||2007 - 2020.|| |This story is of 15 years of heroin/drug addiction|||||that| |was turned around as|a result of his experience in a||||| |church.
