Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Throughout the past year the Charity has been actively promoting the gospel of Jesus Christ and teaching Christian principles across the United Kingdom. This has involved travelling approximately 13,241 miles and speaking at 134 meetings. However, from February 2024, I had to take a sabbatical due to a family crisis, that required me to stay at home.
The number of meetings above include Open-Air Preaching engagements, twice a month, throughout the year, in the Town Centre of Leicester. At these events, many people responded to express their interest in knowing more about the Christian faith, and to these we have given tracts and booklets explaining the Christian message.
We have continued to offer emotional and spiritual support and prayer to people by phone, e-mail, video calls and face-to-face.
In addition to this, we have been able to support financially, Orphanages in India, Burma, Nepal, Thailand and Honduras, on a regular monthly basis throughout the year.
