SJI’s ‘Principal Activity’ was achieved through the following:
P R I N C I P A L A C T I V I T Y
Share Jesus International’s mission is to advance the Christian Faith.
S T A T E M E N T O F F A I T H
Share Jesus International (SJI) unites in mission with churches, church departments and Christian agencies which, acknowledging God’s revelation in Christ, confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures, and, in obedience to God’s will and in the power of the Holy Spirit, commit themselves:-
To seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one another in the Church which is His body and to fulfil their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness and service in the world, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
1. Resources
In 2024, SJI hosted our annual Ekklesia conference at Westminster Chapel with 150 leaders from across the UK. One of the highlights was an interview with historian Tom Holland which is now available to watch online. This annual church leaders’ conference helps us serve and connect with church leaders from a range of denominations.
The conference was themed around ‘understanding the times’ and explored a range of issues but the thread of faith sharing was woven through the programme. The event gives space for church leaders to learn from one another. The feedback was again very positive.
“The quality of the thinking, presentation, programme and content were a welcome development and improvement on so much of what is served to the Christian community today. I cheer you all on. It was so good to listen to one thoughtful speaker after another and to hear experts across a spectrum of ministries bring us their advise and wisdom.”
“You and the event team did a truly amazing job – the subject matter was inspiring, the worship excellent, the creative pieces engaging, and the table conversations a wonderful way to connect and bring to life what we’d heard.”
We also hosted a number of online Ekklesia roundtables for church leaders exploring social media, singleness and fundraising.
SJI continues to create resources that help local churches to reach out effectively. Over the last few years, we have developed multiple resources and booklets that continue to be used widely. For example, one recipient of ‘Signs’ shared that it had…
“…introduced me to ‘journalling through seven significant moments in the life of Jesus’. I found that booklet to be very helpful and challenging. I have continued using the 5 questions in my daily reading through the New Testament. The questions have prompted me to think more deeply about what the Bible is saying and about my own relationship with God and His Word.”
We have also re-packaged our ‘Prompt’ campaign which continues to be popular with local churches as they look to shift the culture of the local church to be more mission focused.
Page 3
We have also created several new resources that have in part, come out of our journey with local churches through our Emmaus project (more information below). The main resource was the ‘Sharing Jesus Profiles’. Based on qualitative and quantitative research, we have created an online quiz that helps Christians better understand how they share their faith. Each profile has something to celebrate and something to stretch us in our thinking and activity.
The resource was launched online and has been used with local churches and networks such as the Methodist city centre church network and Scripture Union. The new resource was picked up widely by Christian media outlets.
On top of this, a new suite of videos for churches has been created to help keep mission as a focus, as well as a new resource looking at how churches can celebrate what God is doing. At the back end of 2024, a substantial amount of work has been carried out preparing and commissioning a new ‘Sharing Jesus’ resource for launch in 2025.
The Director, Andy Frost, continues to work with Care for the Family on the Kitchen Table Project, aimed at helping parents inspire faith in the home. In 2024, ‘Children’s Faith: A Whole Church Approach to Family Ministry’ was launched. Since its launch, the Director has hosted two cohorts of children and family workers through the material.
“I can’t begin to tell you how timely this current course has been for me and my church, and how excellent a resource it is. Thank you for all the hard work you and your team have put into it.”
A ‘Surfer’s Guide to the Christian faith’ video series that will supplement ‘The Adventures of the Ginger Vicar and the Balding Bishop’ will be out in 2025. The ‘Christmas, Interrupted’ and ‘The Week that changed the world’ videos continue to be used widely.
“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for giving us access to the Christmas Interrupted films. We used three in our carol service tonight and they were really well received. Our regular church family found them engaging and even more importantly our guests found them accessible, enjoyable and interesting. As a small-ish church it’s such a gift to be able to use great quality resources like this to help us communicate creatively, especially at Christmas.”

2. Networks
SJI continues to bring together different organisations and groups to partner in mission initiatives. The Director chairs the London Mission Collective. In this capacity he has been able to play a pivotal role in what God is doing across the capital. We again hosted our annual ‘Briefing’ event in January to explore mission opportunities across the capital.
“Thanks so much for a great day the other week…
Really appreciate all your hard work that goes into planning these events, gathering borough unity leaders, church leaders and ministry reps. I see the Lord doing something very special through the LMC, the building of relationships with the desire to work together to make Jesus known across London.”
Over the course of 2024 we have hosted various meetings exploring what could be achieved together looking at: faith sharing; working inter-culturally; and a more co-ordinated social action programme from the Church.
The Collective continues to draw together some 30+ mission agencies and 27 borough church unity groups. Over the course of the year, our Director, Andy has spoken at many of these groups in person. All the communications work for the London Mission Collective network (including the website, monthly e-updates and prayer videos) is carried out by SJI.
In 2024, the Collective helped support the London Project’s Pentecost meal for 400 church leaders and develop plans for a London Mission Week with an Expo event in November.
This piece of work continues to link nationally with Gather Movement, who our Director has been seconded to one day per week on their senior leadership team. In particular in 2024 he helped facilitate the national Summit, develop new resources and launch the ‘Not just a Parent and Toddler Group’ resource.
The Director continues to be a part of the London Leaders Forum with the main denominations and has continued to serve on the steering group for the Passion Play in Trafalgar Square.

3. Emmaus
One of the big changes in SJI’s focus began in 2022 with the start of the Emmaus Project. Traditionally SJI has served churches in an ad hoc way, often doing one-off training days. The Emmaus Project is a two-year initiative that helps a local church become more evangelistic. An SJI Emmaus Coach provides training, support and access to the extensive pool of resources we have created.
In 2024, the first three of nine pilot churches finished their Emmaus journey. The results have been really encouraging with all three churches seeing people coming to faith and a growth in terms of size of congregation and Gospel confidence.
“Working with Emmaus has given us the tools and techniques to plan for future events and plan our approach to evangelism in a much more systematic way. Our success is due to the way that Andy and Marcus have patiently coached and encouraged us. It’s given our leadership renewed
confidence and motivation to reach out to those around us with the good news of the Gospel. We are starting to see our church attendance grow and are planning for three adult baptisms next month. Praise the Lord!”
“As a church we have been inspired and encouraged by the Emmaus programme. On a personal level people feel more confident and have increased their awareness of opportunities to share their faith in their everyday lives and we are now hearing testimonies each week of Godconversations.”
At the back end of 2024 we started inviting other churches to register for the Emmaus journey and three had signed up by the end of the year. We are also working on developing our pool of coaches to help facilitate the growth of this project.

4. Speaking & Training
On behalf of SJI, the Director also speaks at various events. In 2024, he spoke at various churches as far afield as the Netherlands; a number of church unity groups across the country; for several other agencies such as the Christians against Poverty regional days; church denominations such as the Presbyterian Church and the Free Methodists; and at a number of Gospel events.
“I just wanted to express a huge thank you for Sunday evening—it was absolutely fantastic!”
The Director again did ‘2 Minutes with’ on UCB Breakfast, multiple God TV videos, and various radio interviews. He has also written articles for Christian Today, Idea Magazine and other Christian online and printed publications.
In terms of training, SJI also supported a number of other initiatives such as the Intercultural Church and City Transformation Gathering in Leeds which moves to London in 2025 and an event with US writer Preston Perry in partnership with StepFwd.

The Trustees’ policy is to ensure that unrestricted reserves are sufficient for three months unrestricted expenditure at current costs. As at 31 December 2024 the total reserves carried forward were £47,975 (2023 - £58,632) which included unrestricted reserves of £44,749 (2023 - £56,906). This aproximates to 4 month’s expenditure. The Trustees are able to flex the level of activity from year to year to take account of available resources. The Trustees will be making efforts during 2025 to maintain the level of unrestricted reserves to within their policy parameters.
P U B L I C B E N E F I T
SJI’s Trustees agree that the organisation’s work is in line with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
R I S K M A N A G E M E N T
Control systems
SJI’s Trustees have the overall responsibility for ensuring that there are appropriate control systems, financial and otherwise, which provide reasonable assurance of:
-
efficient and effective operation;
-
protection against unauthorised use or disposition of assets;
-
maintenance of proper records with the provision of reliable financial information; and
-
compliance with relevant legislation and regulation.
During 2023 further improvements were made to the budget and cash flow planning and management systems.
The Trustees have mitigated the personnel and operational risks by:
-
maintaining appropriate insurance; and
-
having appropriate policies and training to cover employment and health and safety legislation,
-
and child protection and confidentiality - all staff are required to be familiar with these policies.
The Company Finance Officer now makes all outgoing payments using the online (BACS) Double Entity facility required by the Company Bank. Under the Double Entity arrangement every online payment created by the Company Finance Officer requires authorisation by a second signatory to the bank account prior to the payment actually being made from the bank account to the recipient. This adds an extra layer of security to every payment made from the Company Funds.
Employment
The Trustees are grateful to the staff and volunteers who work for SJI. The success of the Charity relies on their expertise and energy.
S T R U C T U R E , G O V E R N A N C E A N D M A N A G E M E N T
SJI is registered with the Charity Commission and is a Private Company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The company is regulated by the Companies Act 2006 and by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The liability of the Trustees, as members, is limited to £1. The Trustees of the charity are directors for the purpose of company law. It has a Christian foundation that is expressed in Trustee, staff and public meetings, with prayer, worship and teaching as appropriate.
Risk Factors
The Trustees consider that risk falls into two overall areas - finance and infrastructure (income, expenditure, buildings, equipment, ICT and security), and personnel and operational issues (youth work, recruitment, training, health and safety, management systems, employment issues, child protection and confidentiality).
The Trustees have mitigated the finance and infrastructure risks by:
-
ensuring there is no over-reliance on any one funding source or fixed term income;
-
ensuring systems exist to combat the threat of computer viruses and loss of information; and
-
ensuring appropriate insurances are in place for buildings and staff.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the management of the Charity, with operational control delegated to the Director who attends the Board meetings. The Director manages staff who are responsible for the day-to-day work of SJI.
S T A T E M E N T O F T R U S T E E S ’ R E S P O N S I B I L I T I E S
The trustees (who are also directors of Share Jesus for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and its income and expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
Page 8
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards, including FRS102, have been followed, subject to any
-
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
state whether a Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applies and has been followed, subject to any
-
material departures which are explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
-
charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
None of the trustees had any beneficial interest in any contract the charitable company was party to during theyear.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s Independent Examiner is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Examiner is aware of that information.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies with Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Members of Share Jesus
I report on the accounts of Share Jesus International for year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and related notes.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In accordance with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met: or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. Accounting Policies
a) Accounting convention
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The company is a public entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity established as a company limited by guarantee and therefore has also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the 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 (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
b) Going Concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charitable company's forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on income. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charitable company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
c) Grants
Grants are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on an accruals basis following the satisfaction of any pre-conditions.
d) Other income and gifts in kind
All other income except grants are recognised in the accounts on a received basis. For donations made under the gift aid scheme, the gift aid is recognised in the year in which the claim is submitted. Gifts in kind are valued at their value to the charitable company.
e) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis.
f) Capitalisation
Relevant expenditure is capitalised if the value of an individual item exceeds £500.
g) Depreciation
Provision for depreciation of fixed assets held for use by the charitable company is made at annual rates calculated to spread the cost of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
Equipment 33% on cost Furniture and Fittings 25% on cost

1. Accounting Policies (continued)
h) Stock
Current stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. No value is assigned to non-current stock.
i) Taxation
No provision for taxation is included in the accounts as the charitable company is entitled to exemption from tax in accordance with Section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.
j) Cashflow statement
The charitable company has taken the exemption available in paragraph 7.1B of FRS102 and has not prepared a cashflow statement.
k) Resources expended
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis such as staff time or estimated usage.
l) Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes laid down by the donor. Expenditure for these purposes is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for expenditure on the general objectives of the charity.
m) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which they have been incurred.
n) Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities.
o) Leased assets
All leases are regarded as operating leases and the payments made for them are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
2. Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgement
In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry any significant risk of material adjustment on the next financial year.

11. Statement of Movement on Reserves (Continued)
Explanation of Restricted Funds
Hot Air Balloon Project :- In 2020 the charity was given a gift during the year of two hot air balloons for use in faith sharing. One of the balloons was not needed so was sold and the proceeds retained for use by the charity within this restricted purpose.
LM Fund :- The LM Fund is used to create resources to help churches think through mission. All costs relating to the work are being met through a single donor.
12. Future Financial Commitments
Operating Leases
At 31 December 2024 the charity had annual commitments under operating leases as follows:
| Operating leases which expire: in less than one year |
2024 993 |
2023 948 |
|---|---|---|
13. Trustees Remuneration and Expenses
None of the Trustees were remunerated directly or indirectly. During the year expenses totalling £246 were paid to 3 Trustees (2023: £785 to 3 Trustees).
14. Related Party Transactions
The following related party transactions took place in the year:-
David Hull is a Trustee and donated £300 (2023 - £300) during the year.
The Trustees explored various office rental and storage spaces for the work of SJI. In the end, the Director built an office in his garden, and contributing towards this was a more cost effective way forward. The Trustees rent the space off the Director for £4,500 (2023 - £4,500) as an office. This is used for mailings, posting out stock and meetings.
15. Contingencies and Contractual Commitments
In the opinion of the Trustees there are no contingent liabilities. In addition there were no contractual commitments at the year end.
