Trustees Report
For the year ended 31 March 2025
The trustees, who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland(FRS102)(effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The name of the charity is inspired by a Bible verse, Daniel 11:32b:”the people who know their God will be strong and carry out exploits”.
We describe ourselves as a ministry of reconciliation. We are, by the call of God, peace-makers and all inclusive workers of reconciliation by our commitment to take the Good News of Jesus back to the Bible lands where the Gospel began, without partiality.
We actively seek to advance the education of the British public in all aspects of Christianity and the Abrahamic faiths through the written and spoken word, through worship, through drama, conferences, Gospel campaigns, church meetings, the arts and primarily through all aspects of media. We make efforts to counter anti-semitism through conferences and seminars.
As a small society, we are nevertheless helping to build peace in the Middle East and to strengthen the Judeo-Christian foundations of our society.
Our main objectives have continued to be promotion and fostering of Christian knowledge, education and propagation in a World that is increasingly confused and drifting without moral compass.
Significant activities
In establishing the activities to meet the above objectives during this financial period, the Trustees have continued due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
During the year the Charity continued with our work supporting humanitarian projects and teaching.
Rev C Darg and Mr P Darg continue to represent the charitable company in promotional videos and other work. They are compensated for their time via contributions from Exploits Ministry to their personal pension schemes. The cost of which is shown within “Promotion of Christian Knowledge” in the financial statements.
Public benefit
The Trustees have had due regard for the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Volunteers
The Charity has one volunteer who is given a monthly honorarium to cover expenses.
Rev. Christine Darg is the charity’s key worker, responsible for administration and conducting ministry work in the UK and internationally, but as a volunteer.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Safeguarding and risk assessment
The Charity continues to maintain full liability insurance coverage on all aspects of travel, public events, its members and Trustees, all equipment assets valued at over £200.
The Charity continues to be regulated by the Information Commissioners Office, assuring protection of its database.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Exploits Ministry, founded by Christine & Peter Darg, is dedicated to advancing God’s kingdom through intercessory prayer, media outreach, and prophetic ministry, with a heart for Israel, the Middle East, and the World. Guided by Biblical mandates like Isaiah 62:6-7, which calls for watchmen to pray for Jerusalem’s peace, the Ministry seeks to mobilise believers to intercede for Israel’s restoration and global revival. Rooted in Romans 11:25-26, which speaks of Israel’s ultimate salvation, Exploits Ministry emphasizes the spiritual significance of supporting Israel while fostering unity among nations through prayer and outreach.
Each week, Exploits Ministry sends out a dynamic email update, sharing prayer needs, prophetic insights, and updates on our global impact. The weekly TV show, broadcast worldwide on many platforms, reaches countless viewers with messages of hope, Biblical teaching, and testimonies of God’s work. With nearly 60,000 YouTube subscribers, the Ministry’s digital platform amplifies our reach, offering content that inspires faith and equips believers to engage in spiritual warfare and intercession.
Christine Darg, already a prolific author, released her book Lord, Will You Restore the Kingdom to Israel? in 2024, exploring the Biblical and prophetic significance of Israel’s role in God’s redemptive plan, drawing from Acts 1:6-7. The Ministry also actively participates in Zoom prayer meetings, where Christine serves as a panellist, joining global intercessors to pray for revival, peace, and the fulfillment of God’s promises.
Exploits Ministry’s multi-faceted approach—through media, prayer, and teaching—reflects its commitment to Psalm 122:6, urging believers to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” By equipping the church and standing with Israel, the Ministry plays a vital role in preparing the way for God’s purposes in the Middle East and beyond, fostering spiritual awakening worldwide.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP(FRS102)”Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland(FRS102)(effective 1 January 2019”, Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Going concern
The Trustees have considered the future of the organisation in light of the current economic pressures and feel that due to its nature, the income will not be adversely affected; however, if it were, savings in expenditure can be made in the short to medium term.
At the year end a surplus was made of £6,429(2024: £10,645 deficit) and cash at bank was £11,730(2024:£4,861).
Due to these factors, the Trustees believe the organisation is a going concern for the foreseeable future or at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Tangible fixed assets
11
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Long leasehold - Over the life of the lease
Fixtures and fittings – 15% on reducing balance
Computer equipment- 33% on reducing balance
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cahs at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
