The focus of our Mission in the period under review
Our main objectives for the year continued to be the promotion of a system of congregational activity which ensures that all, not some Christians are taught, trained, equipped, activated and released to demonstrate the love of God in their families and communities through practical teaching from the bible and application of biblical principles. The strategies we used to meet these objectives included:
-
We have provided a spiritual formation process which enables lay persons to grow in the faith and ultimately serve God rather than be inactive but have positive impact in the society.
-
This spiritual education that is offered by CRM is designed to help everyone regardless of their educational background. In this regard we actively cooperate with other Christian congregations and ministries to ensure that the widest possible spectrums of people have access to the services in locations closest to their homes.
-
Charismatic Renewal Ministries, UK continued to be active in Local, national and International Evangelism, Discipleship and supporting local churches to build up capacity to carry out the Great Commission. Accordingly, the Charity supported missions to Nigeria, and other parts of the world through involvement with the International Ministers Fellowship.
In summary, Charismatic Renewal Ministries, UK has actively contributed to the practice of Christian Faith in the United Kingdom through active promotion of our mission.
How our activities deliver public benefit
Most of our charitable activities focus on making available free bible resources that makes it possible for Christians to be active in serving the saviour Jesus and the country by being law abiding. In addition, we provide public benefit through these specific ways:
• Providing an enabling environment for the practice of Christianity in a way that glorifies God and blesses the community. This information is made available, free of charge, to everyone who desires without any restriction.
• Through our research and teaching ministry, the Church in the United Kingdom now has available, a proven method through which for all Christians can productively practice their faith as priests, instead of being a dormant laity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Charity's statement of financial activities for the Year ending 31 December 2021 shows that we have traded successfully despite unpleasant economic downturn in the sector and finishing with a surplus of £27,917, which was an increase of £10,776 on last year’s final figure of £17,141 surplus. This improved surplus was as a result of increase in income above the total costs of charitable activities. Also, the stability of the organisation’s key members in the last few years have contributed to steady growth; membership drive schemes which are being developed will enhance stability and steady growth in the coming years.
The Charity’s income was £60,119 for the year ended 31 December 2021 compared to £37,977 in the year ended 31 December 2020. The total expenditure amounted to £32,202 for the year ended 31 December 2021 compared to £20,836 in the year to 31 December 2020 .The fund balance carried forward at 31 December 2021 was £83,679 compared to £55,672 in the year ended 31 December 2020. There were no restricted funds to be carried forward in 31 December 2021. The full Statement of Financial Activities is set out on page 11 of these accounts.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources for the charity is currently by way of voluntary income through tithe and offerings from the members. As a result of increasing constraints on one source of income, the charity has to seek funding from a much broader range of income generation within their objects.
Reserves policy
The organisation's current reserves policy is simply to maintain sufficient cash flow for known commitments.
Investment policy and performance
Our available resources have been needed on an ongoing basis because of an active ministry. For this reason, there are no investments as yet. There has been a determined effort to have designated fund as reserve that will be invested into building accommodation. The policy is reviewed regularly.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The charity plans to continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. These are specific benchmarks we would like to attain before the next annual report is due:
-
Reaching the society with the gospel of Christ
-
Reaching out to the emotional trodden and disturbed through organised programmes
-
Working with the local Authorities to identify youth challenges and help with developing talents.
-
