# World Mandate Ministries Annual Report 2021 - 2022 World Mandate Ministries Gladstone Close, Northampton, NN5 7AY email: info@godsmandate.org website: www.godsmandate.org Tel: (01604) 759039) Registered Charity No. 1091640 1 ## **OBJECTIVES** World Mandate Ministries exists as a registered charity. The objectives are: - - 1) The advancement of the Christian religion in accordance with the teaching of evangelism, in particular through the provision of classes and opportunities to study the Bible. - 2) The relief of poverty of individuals who are in need through the provision and distribution of goods, clothing and other services. ## **HOW OUR ACTIVITIES DELIVER PUBLIC BENEFIT** The charity objectives have been broken down into three headings: - - Preaching the Gospel - Equipping the Saints - Feeding the Poor The Trustees consider that through the activities and provision of services by the Charity, the public is greatly benefited by - - **Preaching the gospel:** - through preaching of the Christian message in churches and individuals that want to hear. Along with teaching and learning how to explain the message of Christianity, there is practical evidence of the positive hope that Christians have, through our school, missions, preaching and life! - **Equipping the Saints:** - teaching believers how to live out their faith in ways that make a difference in their local communities and the world at large. We do that through our Bible School, Every Nation by School UK, conferences, preaching and teaching engagements, cross-cultural mission trips, individual and peer mentoring and by our own personal examples in the way in which we live and conduct our lives. - **Feeding the poor:** - the relief of poverty (by means of our Compassion World Wide Charity Shop, (now closed) along with the giving of 10% of all income from the general account of the charity. We are always encouraged, humbled and privileged when we receive letters, emails and phone calls from individuals who have engaged with staff members through the diversity of ministry that we offer. They testify of the transformation they have experienced through their engagement with World Mandate Ministries staff and the Christian ministry that has been extended to them. Our excellent pastoral team continue to meet with individuals, befriending and supporting them on a one-to-one basis. We regularly hear testimonies of individuals that have been helped to overcome life–controlling challenges. Through spending time with them, support and prayer, we witness individuals break chaotic cycles and re-establish normal and functioning lifestyles. Personal transformation can be a challenge to quantify, nevertheless transformation produces happier, emotionally stable people who become even more fruitful in their area of vocation. They too are empowered to make positive and lasting impact within their local communities. 2 **HOW OUR ACTIVITIES DELIVER PUBLIC BENEFIT cont...** ## **COMPASSION WORLD WIDE CHARITY SHOP** was very popular and had become a hub in the community. It was a shop that raised money for charitable donations, support orphans through school in both Uganda and Jamaica. It was also a place where acts of kindness happened on a regular basis. Our staff became aware of the needs of the customers and stepped up in ways that demonstrated how each person matters. They often gave a listening ear of comfort and support. Unfortunately the shop had to close in July of 2020. It is hard to enumerate the impact this little shop had on the community. We are aware that the lives of our staff and customers have benefited and been transformed, probably as much as the recipients of the money raised by the shop! Following the sale of Mandate House in June 2021 the Trustees decided to continue to make provision for the relief of the poor and support other charities by way of fund from the property sale. In excess of £50,000.00 was placed into the Tithe Account from which all donations to the poor and others are made. This way we ensured that our vision to keep supporting the poor and need could be maintained until such time we were able to open another charity shop. **EVERY NATION BIBLE SCHOOL UK** is one of the ways in which we help Christians at every stage of maturity to learn something more of how to live out their faith and practically engage in their communities. The courses that are run by the Bible School inevitably impact the community of each student as they contribute and relate to their neighbours and communities both locally and nationally, as Christ demonstrated. Individuals are taught how to serve God, how to forgive, how to be gentle, how to explain the hope they have, how to pray, how to establish community projects, leadership skills, how to offer pastoral care to those encountering ‘end of life’ situations, plus much more. People are equipped to serve in many and varied vocational capacities and go on to serve their local communities in meaningful ways. The Bible School is biannually visited by an External Examiner to ensure that our management, systems, schemes of work, assessments are all fit for purpose. We are thrilled to report that the inspections held in 2020-21 reported excellent on all levels. We pay tribute to our amazing and hard-working staff and volunteers for this report. ## **SHARING OUR CHRISTIAN HOPE** As a charity we believe the hope and belief in Jesus Christ that we have as Christians is central to all that we do. It is out of that hope that we minister and serve the people that we come into contact with. We believe that each and every individual person is important to God and we seek to demonstrate His love in practical and meaningful ways, in ways that will open hearts to trust God, the source of all goodness. As a ministry we seek to live in the spirit of the Beatitudes and believe that the principle of honouring every person is important as every person matters to God. We believe this spirit of the Beatitudes contributes to making the world a better place. 3 ## **CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT** The year 2021-2022 Continued to be a year of challenge met with excitement and a positive spirit. The nation was climbing out of what seemed like an eternity of restrictions, national and international lockdowns. The door had been reopened to a new kind of normal and we proceeded into the new season with expected anticipation, excitement and a sense of thrill as to what the new future held. We were not disappointed as individuals that we encountered in this new season engaged positively with us and we were privileged to witness continued and even greater degrees of impact and fruitfulness. By September 2020 Britain began to climb its way out of the lockdown, only to be hit with another series of lockdowns that ran way into 2021. We are Extremely grateful to our staff teams of both paid and unpaid volunteers, who worked tremendously hard, tirelessly and most sacrificially for, and on behalf of, the Charity and the public that we serve. All of our volunteers are loyal, hard-working and believe in giving of their very best, which they do with cheerfulness and a spirit of excellence. World Mandate Ministries and Every Nation Bible School UK would not be able to function to the capacity and excellence that it does without them. We express our deepest gratitude to those who give of their time in prayer and financially support the charity through their kind donations. Praying and giving enables the work of God to touch and transform lives. As a Christian charity we particularly, and most importantly, express our gratitude and thanks to God for all His enablement and continued encouragement in all the work that we are doing in His Name. The remainder of this report will describe the wonderful works that we have been able to conduct by God's grace as well as testifying of the fruitfulness of the said works. One of the most significant changes to the ministry that happened within 2021-2022, was the relocation of Peter and Rev . Elaine Roberts to Jamaica. Peter and Elaine are the founders of World Mandate Ministries and Every Nation Bible School UK. In late 2021, Peter and Elaine made the decision to relocate to Jamaica to be available to serve Elaine's mother in her senior years. Whilst this came as a bit of a shock to the staff team. It was not altogether a surprise as Elaine as CEO has always encouraged and supported staff and falling tears to always put their parents first in their times of need. Staff have always been willingly released to be available to take care of ageing parents, so that they never find themselves in a position to choose whether to serve the ministry or to serve their parents. Honouring parents always came first, and there was absolutely no contest. So when Elaine informed the Trustees and staff team. There was a tinge of sadness, but total and wholehearted support. Peter and Elaine's decision. Having said that, the decision did not mean that Elaine was leaving the ministry altogether. As the purpose of going to Jamaica was to be available to serve and support Elaine’s mother, she recognised this would not be a full-time role at this time. It was on that basis, Elaine agreed to continue to work online for three days a week. Her role will entail developing the ministry in Jamaica and further afield. This would mean that the staff team continue to be supported. A model that we believe would work well and, indeed, does work well. Elaine also agreed that she would annually return to the UK for periods of time up to 8 weeks at a time, to be hands-on in the office and available to continue serving the ministry, churches and other ministries. 4 ## **CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT continued...** ## **PREACHING THE GOSPEL** We believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to save lives. When we talk about saving lives we do so understanding that the word ‘save’ or ‘salvation’ means the holistic restoration of a person— being restored in spirit, soul and body. We believe that Christianity is a faith that brings emotional, physical as well as spiritual peace, comfort and well-being. We therefore seek to enable and empower people to experience the blessing of a living faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, address mental health needs, offering support where requested and appropriate and receive prayer for physical healing where requested. ## **ENABLING BELIEVERS TO SERVE** In August 2021. Selina Forde was promoted in her volunteer role as Principal of Every Nation Bible School. UK. Elaine assumed the role of Associate Principal to enable Selina to flourish in her role and develop as Principal of the Bible School. Selina is married to David. Selina is a gifted Bible teacher with a passion for unlocking potential in people. Through – “Enabling, Educating and Encouraging” Selina makes the Bible practical and accessible. Selina has used her gifting to write courses and training manuals as well as facilitate workshops. Selina previously coordinated the Arise, Arise Ministries’ mentoring programme for church leaders and members both in Northamptonshire and London. By profession, Selina is a Business Change Manager, helping people to adapt and be ready for change in the project and business arena. In her local church, Life in Christ Church International, Selina is actively involved in teaching adult and youth Bible studies, as well as helping to train, mentor and support teachers. Following a Five-Fold Ministry impartation at a World Mandate Ministries conference and a series of divine connections in 2016, Selina joined Every Nation Bible School as a lecturer. We look forward to the blessing Selina will be to the Bible School This practice further evidences the heart of the ministry to equip believers and raise them so that they can fly and flourish in their own ministries. We believe that every individual has been gifted of God to make a transformational contribution and difference to the world that is positive and constructive. It is with that belief that we run Every Nation Bible School UK. Through the Bible school we seek to empower and enable people from all walks of life to serve in ways to make their positive contribution to the world today. We continue to work with the church locally, nationally and internationally, training and equipping church members to serve God. ## **FEEDING THE POOR** World Mandate Ministries trustees firmly believe the words of the Bible that state, “If a man is hungry, then a simple “God bless you’ means nothing.” We firmly believe that care for the poor needs to be able to serve the whole person and not just fill their stomachs. Our assistance is tangible, practical and relevant to those in need. Financial grant assistance was given to help relieve poverty locally, nationally and internationally. Careful and prayerful consideration is given to the distribution of all funds raised. The charity only supported needs and smaller projects where an audit trail of how the finances have been spent was accessible. We are thrilled to be able to state that despite the closure of the charity shop, finances were still made available through the kind giving of individuals who knew that despite the closure of the charity shop monies were still required to support individuals, ministries and orphans. Due to this ongoing kindness World Mandate Ministries took the decision to support three more Orphans in Uganda. We received photographs of the children, their school reports and letters that the children write, thanking us for their support and helping them through school. 5 ## EDUCATION IN UGANDA _**Sheilah, Ssebata, Owen, Favor Racheal, Owori, Gift, in Uganda are sponsored by donors** ._ ## **There are currently ten children being sponsored in Uganda.** **precious children is the only way out of poverty. We receive regular photographs updated along with annual school reports** . ## **FEEDING THE POOR** World Mandate Ministries trustees firmly believe the words of the Bible that state, “If a man is hungry, then a simple ‘God bless you’ means absolutely nothing.” This is because, mere words are not able to change the plight of the hungry, the marginalised and the helpless. We believe that care for the poor needs to be tangible, practical and relevant to those in need. In the absence of the charity shop World Mandate Ministries is committed to supporting the poor and marginalised in this and other countries. ## **TITHING** The charity trustees adhere to the Biblical injunction of tithing. This means that 10% of all ‘undesignated’ income is put into a ‘tithe account, to meet the needs of other individuals, ministers and ministries in need that are bought to the attention of the trustees, including the schooling of these Ugandan children. The generous and regular donations that are given all help replace lost income from the shop. 6 ## **PREACHING THE GOSPEL** Equipped 4 Life students carol singing on the Christmas outreach. A fruitful morning of sharing God’s love with shoppers in Northampton at which many people were prayed with and some giving their lives to Jesus. Many requested to be contacted by a Christian. The Evangelist Roundtable that operates under the auspices of World Mandate Ministries, serves the church by its evangelist team members working alongside the local church in equipping the members is evangelism and engaging in evangelistic outreach with the local church. In August 2021 the Roundtable served a new church plant led by Pastor Steve Davis in Oxford. Evangelists took to the streets, proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ in the town centre. They had wonderful and powerful engagements with many people and were able to pray with those that requested prayer. **ABOVE:** Pastor Colin John, sharing his personal story of faith in Jesus Christ in Oxford market square. A gospel healing night was hosted by the team where God moved in power and lives were touched and transformed by the power of the Gospel. **RIGHT:** Lola, had just completed a year on the Equipped 4 Life course. Immediately put into practice what she had been learning. Over the four days of outreach, four people gave their lives to Jesus for the first time. Three more people recommitted their lives to the Lord after periods of time away from church and stated that they wanted to rejoin the local church. That same weekend four people immediately joined the new church, feeling it to be their home and wanting to serve the vision of the church. Four people have been baptised since the outreach. The Lord is continuing to grow the church both spiritually and numerically. 7 ## **PREACHING THE GOSPEL** At the beginning of May 2021 Northamptonshire hosted the Knife Angel (The National Monument Against Violence & Aggression) led by C2C Social Action. The Knife Angel stands a staggering 27 feet in height, made from actual knives, 100,000+, used in real-life knife crime across the UK. WMM Evangelist Roundtable was invited to support and share in the ministry and conduct evangelism to engage with members of the public. The aim was to engage with many people through workshops and other events to reduce knife crime and promote unity and peace. However, the impact of these engagement far outweighed and exceeded expectation. Many people were broken as victims, including family members and friends who had experienced the cruel violence of knife crime. The Evangelist Roundtable ministered God’s love to those who had been the victims of knife crime. Shoppers and passers-by wanted to have a voice and share their experiences. The team responded with loving and listening ears and hope-filled healing prayers. Shoppers were keen to hear about God’s love for them and visibly moved and touched as the team engaged and prayed with them. The Lord used this opportunity to bring healing to the brokenhearted through His precious presence that was tangible. We had many very deep conversations with people who had been in darkness. The God of hope and light showed Himself powerfully to them. We thank God for all He has done. Something very important, unique and refreshing took place at the Hearts Ablaze conference. After two sessions of impartation from the anointed evangelists Activation took place, by way of the evangelists leading the delegates out on the streets of Northampton to engage in personal evangelism. One hour on the streets led to multiple conversations, prayer, and answered prayer. For many, it was the very first time they had been involved in face-to-face evangelism. For all it was an exciting and powerful engagement on the streets. The twofold power of transformation. Firstly, hearing the gospel message are transformed by God’s love. Secondly, those taking the gospel message are transformed by God’s power working through them. 8 ## **PREACHING THE GOSPEL** _**Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these**_ **Matthew 19:14.** **In June 2022 we had the privilege to baptise four children and two adults.** All of those baptised gave public testimony of how they had found faith in Jesus Christ, and loved Him with all of their hearts. When the children were asked why they wanted to be baptised they all replied in their own words, that they love Jesus and wanted to obey Him and follow Him. They expressed their desire be filled with the Holy Spirit and be used of the Lord to reach their friends and others to come to faith in Jesus, like them. ## Beautiful!!! The parents of all the children were supportive and confident that it was the correct step for their children’s lives. One couple travelled from Poland especially for this occasion, whereupon two of their children were baptised by full immersion. They also publicly dedicated there two year old daughter to the Lord Jesus Christ, promising to train her in the Gospel of Jesus and His ways. We happily supported the families in their decisions. We did not want to be a hindrance to the precious children who had expressed their love and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. The ministry of Jesus was one of exulting the lonely, lifting the humble and honouring the weak. Jesus made it His business to spend time with children as much as possible so that He could bless them. He taught us that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the children. In this teaching it is important to recognise that many children understand the full rudiments of the gospel and trust Jesus at an early age, Hudson Taylor, John Westley, Mary Slessor, to name but a few. The ministry of Jesus seemed to indicate that children have a special place in God’s heart as well as His Kingdom. Jesus even commended that adults who possessed childlike faith would themselves inherit the Kingdom of God. ## **Stuart and Sheila at their baptism in June 2022** 9 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** In September 2021, Elaine was contacted by the Global Ethnic Majority (GEM) Staff Network of University of Northampton and informed she had been selected for the Picasso Jasper Award for meritorious contribution, service and advocacy for the welfare and advancement of people of colour in Northamptonshire. She was recognised for her visionary and inspirational leadership in founding and running the **Every Nation Bible School UK** that has been operating in Northamptonshire for over 20 years. Their research with the black ethnic community in the county had revealed the training of ministers and lay people across church denominations and ethnic groups had garnered both local and international accolades for academic excellence and devoted passion for caring and serving people. The Award Ceremony was held at the conclusion of the Black in the Ivory Conference at the University of Northampton Waterside Campus. It was a magnificent occasion. ## **The citation read on the evenings is below.** _“The GEM Staff network is pleased to honour the_ _**Rev Elaine Roberts with the Picasso Jasper Award** for visionary and inspirational leadership in founding and running the Every Nation Bible School UK, ENBS, that has been operating in Northamptonshire for over 20 years._ _ENBS has garnered both local and international accolades for academic excellence, devoted passion for caring and serving people and the evangelical faith community._ _There is not enough time here tonight to recount the numerous initiatives that Elaine has spearheaded, but beyond that, the extensive impact of her work in the heart of the community, and the numerous lives that have been changed consequent to her fulfilling the mandate of her vocation and calling._ _As an ordained minister of the Elim Pentecostal Church in the UK, she has built an inter-denominational Bible School from the centre of Northamptonshire that has a global outreach. The name Every Nation Bible School is not just a nomenclature, but a reality, with students representing over thirty countries across all continents that have enrolled and completed training courses at ENBS. This list includes students from China, South-East Asia, the Caribbean, Northern and Eastern Europe, Africa, North and South America, New Zealand and Japan._ _ENBS is accredited by NCFE which is one of the UK’s largest and world leading awarding bodies, currently offering courses at Levels 3 and 4. It has attracted people of all races, of varying professions, from carpenters to medical doctors who have studied side by side._ _As a Christian in faith and in deed, Rev Elaine Roberts has impacted the local community with her advocacy for race equality. An example of this is in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder with the setting up the “A Safe Place” initiative for the Black Community to share and confront the trauma of racism that persists in society, but to also find a pathway towards healing and reconciliation._ _This evening, the GEM staff network salutes the Rev Elaine Roberts and in quoting the Bible which is included in the name of her school -_ _‘_ _**Many women have done wonderful things, but you surpass all of them’.”**_ **GEM Staff Network - University of Northampton** **The Picasso Jasper Award** 10 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** In October 2021 we hosted “LADIES out of LOCKDOWN.” ladies conference. A one day conference to enable ladies in the recalibration and resetting of dreams, visions and aspirations, many of which were buried, sacrificed, side-lined and even died during ‘planet lockdown.’ The day was a time of prayer, praise, worship, prophecy and basking in the presence of the Lord. As each minister delivered the Word that the Lord had given to them, opportunity was granted to reflect and pray over what had been spoken. _Many thanks to you and all the team for a wonderful day ‘out of lockdown’. It was truly inspiring! The speakers were excellent. An encouraging outcome for me was the time of personal prophecy. It was good to hear others giving such accurate words for people they didn’t know, and to receive confirmation and stimulus myself._ **RUTH** Prayer stations were available throughout the day for ladies to receive private prayer and ministry. Delegates were seated around tables to allow for intimacy and networking. Ladies worked together in Discussing, sharing thoughts and insights from the messages shared by the speakers. Many new friendships were formed that day. **----- Start of picture text -----**

_The conference was amazing. Offering encouragement, healing and inspiration, acknowledging the pain and frustration of lockdown, revealing the Lord's plans and revelations of His victory for our future. The revelation_ _during the triumphant 'walking round the walls' confirmed a prophetic word given to me in 2007. I am ready, willing and able to fulfil the Lord's call on my life._ **JOY** _Just to say, “THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!”_ **ANNE** 11 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** Equipping and training the local church is the primary way the Charity equips Christian believers to serve. Staff teams visit churches and groups of churches to equip and enable members to be even more competent in their work of service within the church and local communities. World Mandate Ministries adheres very strongly to working with and supporting the local church in reaching, serving and being of public benefits to local communities. World Mandate Ministries will work with and serve any church regardless of denomination. Our goal is to help Christians to be effective in serving their local church and communities with their God-given gifts. As an accredited teaching institution Every Nation Bible School believes that Continual Professional Development (CPD) is very important. To teach and equip others is an honour and privilege. It is therefore vital that tutors continue to receive input to make their teaching even more fruitful. All of our tutors are qualified by way of their personal gifting, calling, ministry experience and academic credentials. They are humble individuals who serve the Lord with the spirit of excellence. They are keen to develop themselves and receive ongoing training. Over the summer all our tutors attended a ‘refresher course’ on teaching in the classroom enabling them to be even more fruitful in and through their teaching ministries. ## **EVERY NATION BIBLE SCHOOL UK (ENBS)** Every Nation Bible School UK is open to any member of the public who wishes to develop practical skills and abilities in Christian service and being able to serve their church and local community. All of the courses offered by the Bible School are Biblically based with the emphasis on practical equipping. The courses are part-time, running either fortnightly or monthly, evenings and weekends. The Bible School is accredited and subject to annual inspections by External Quality Assessments (EQA) ensuring that we meet the rigorous and exacting standards of the National Awarding Organisation NCFE. ENBS classrooms are environments of safety and encouragement. Teaching is powerful. Learning is fun, interactive and life-changing with ministry and impartation. Most importantly the opportunity is given to put into practice what has been learnt. This is done by way of an end of year Evangelistic mission/campaign, where students are released to work with the local church in community evangelism. Many students report Back give first-hand accounts of how their lives have been changed, new trajectories have been taken and personal development, transformation and growth has engendered new levels of confidence, self belief and self esteem. 12 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** Each year the student from ENBS plan and host 3-5 day evangelistic mission, following the ten month course. The mission is part of their end of year assessment, where ENBS UK and the students worked with a local church delivering the mission to the people of Northampton. The purpose of the mission is to release the students to work together as a team, having being equipped, and to work within the context of a local church, and then to host and deliver an evangelistic outreach. The mission enables them to put into practice and apply all that they have learnt over the last ten months. All had an amazing time of ministry, breakthrough, healing, and fruitful conversations with individuals that they were privileged to meet. The evangelistic outreach started on Wednesday with Communion and Bible study, led and taught by students. The next day, on Thursday, the students engaged in door-to-door evangelism on the Spencer Estate. They also equipped the local church for evangelism. On Friday there was more door-to-door evangelism. People were extremely open and visibly moved as the teams visited their homes. Many residents allowed the team to pray with them. On the Friday evening, the students hosted a Healing Night at Maranatha Gathering church, Gladstone Close, from which powerful and lasting fruit has been born. Following the last two years of immense disruption, sadness and a sense of hopelessness of the pandemic the students were encouraged to witness hoe being restored to broken lives. On the Saturday the students and team went on the Market Square of Northampton. The gospel was preached and proclaimed, along with songs of worship, music, team members sharing personal testimony of their faith in Christ, children’s activities, all the time engaging in personal evangelism. This outreach produced fruit with souls being added to God’s kingdom. On the Sunday, the students led the morning service. They were involved in facilitating the service, preaching, leading Communion, organising the worship, testimonies and ministering prayer for those who requested it at the conclusion of the service. There were ample opportunities for spiritual growth and stretching. 13 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** September 2021, was the first graduation held since 2019. We graduated over 60 students covering years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. Students graduated from Biblical Self Leadership, Setting the Captives Free, Equipped 4 Life, Christian Mentoring courses **commissioned into their ministries. Each person received the ministry of the laying on of hands as per Acts 13 and apostolically released to serve the local and global Body of Christ** As a FIVE FOLD Ministry World Mandate Ministries recognises the gifts of Christ given to equip the local and global church. **RIGHT:** Minister and Deacon Martin Bates and Prophet Caroline Bates were commissioned and released to serve the Body of Christ. **Apostolic Leader:** Rev Dr Hugh Osgood of ‘Churches in Communities’ led the Commissioning. Both Martin and Caroline affirmed and committed to a ministerial ‘charge,’ in which they prayerfully affirmed and honoured the call of God on their lives and to serve Him in complete obedience by His grace. World Mandate Ministries is of the conviction that the gifts and calling of each believer are to be demonstrated and manifested in the local church, **Martin and Caroline commissioned as Deacon and Prophet** God’s vision for His church is expansive and limitless. It cannot possibly be fulfilled through one church body, one denomination or one believer. Each and every believer is important to the Lord in fulfilling His eternal and _Kingdom-sized vision._ 14 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** Every Nation Bible School UK hosted a MINISTERS OPEN DAY for local Ministers and Church Leaders to visit the Bible School and learn all about Every Nation Bible School, its vision and values. One leader was so impacted by the quality of courses, tuition and team, that they immediately signed up five of their church members onto a course that was due to start imminently. We also ran what is fast becoming one of our increasingly popular courses, **Biblical Self Leadership.** Excellent self leadership and management is an essential prerequisite if we are going to be fruitful leader of others. The course runs for 5 sessions with options for day time or evening subject to numbers. Both face to face and zoom. It is a course of personal development and transformation as students learn to lead and manage self well! In September, Elaine was invited to speak at Northampton Life Chapels’ annual ‘Squeeze Conference.’ Squeeze is so called as the aim of the conference is to ‘ _squeeze_ ’ the potential out of the delegates so that that they receive and achieve all that God has called and intended them to be. 15 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** **Every Nation Bible School UK** have developed and now sell bespoke vouchers that can be purchased as loving gifts to offset against the costs of any of our many part-time courses. 16 ## **WHAT THE INSPECTORS SAY** World Mandate Ministries strives for excellence in all of its endeavours. The Bible School is no exception and exceptionally high standards have been created, maintained and continue to develop throughout every academic year. ENBS is biannually inspected by External Examiners with schemes of work, policies, protocols, management systems and all matters relating to the efficient and effective running of the Bible School. We are thrilled to report that each year. Records “Outstanding” with no recommendations or areas of concern. Please see reports from the two visits held in 2021-2022. _“The team continue to work meticulously within NCFE guidelines to structure and produce their courses and these have been further reviewed today.

Proceeds will go to a Mission in the Congo ._ _There is quality assurance with self assessment after every lesson - what would I change and why.? There is feedback from learners after each session, so the tutors can reflect on their delivery and make changes where necessary to suit the learning styles of the students. The centre continues to develop and has grown from one qualification to 13. Such a pleasure to receive evidence so meticulously presented and comprehensive - thank you so much again._ _**NCFE EQA**_ 17 ## **Meet the World Mandate Ministries Team** **Rev. Elaine Roberts M.Th.

Peter and Elaine felt that in addition to celebrating Elaine’s 60th, they would invite people from their past, present and future to celebrate with them.. It was a wonderful celebration of Elaine’s 60 years of life and 21 years of her and Peter’s ministry to the nations, which will continue. Elaine’s family were deeply moved by the love shown to her and Peter by all present, and, particularly those who shared testimony of the impact of their life and ministry to them. Peter and Elaine leave a legacy of a thriving ministry that continues to touch the hearts and lives of people both in the UK and internationally. More importantly they wanted to be Biblically commissioned and sent to their new life in Jamaica. Elaine's vision is to continue serving the ministry, writing more courses, networking in Jamaica and developing stronger international links. **Peter, Florence (Elaine’s mum) Elaine** **A Birthday cake made in the shape of the island of Jamaica showing the different Parishes.** 19 ## **RELEASING THE SAINTS** Colette Barron first attended Ministry Equipping School (now ENBS) in 2004-2005. It was evident in those days that God had called her to be an evangelist. Ever since that time Colette has made full proof of her ministry commanding the respect of her ministerial peers both nationally and internationally. She has been dedicated, committed and devoted to Jesus Christ, winning souls to **Rev Colette Barron** His Kingdom and equipping others to be soul winners. She leads Northampton Evangelist Roundtable, the tri-weekly early morning intercession group. The Trustees of World Mandate Ministries positioned Colette to be Ordained and she was duly Ordained in April 2022. As a developing five-fold ministry, we believe it is important for us to be refreshed and receive regular input to enable us to be even more fruitful. In April we held a 2- day conference for the World Mandate Ministries Team, with guest minister Dr. Rev Hugh Osgood of Churches in Communities. We continue to develop ministries and release individuals into their God ordained giftings thus enabling them to bless the global church and fulfil the great commission. Dr. Hugh’s wisdom and unparalleled ministry experience of ministry were invaluable as we spent the time, discussing and praying over matters pertaining to fruitful ministry. The monthly prayer meetings continued to meet online and face to face. The advantage of the blend of styles in which to meet is that far more people were able to attend and certainly those who live further away from the ministry centre found it easier to participate. The meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month from 10 AM-12 noon. We pray for the world, the United Kingdom, the global church and the work of World Mandate Ministries. We believe that a non-parochial mindset is essential to the ongoing work of unity within church life and the care for our world at large. **The prayer meetings continue to be foundational to the work of the ministry and we regularly witness answers to prayer.** 20 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** Following the blessings and success of Ladies out of Lockdown 1, held in October 2021, and the continued leading of God, we were honoured to host Ladies out of Lockdown 2, Ladies Conference, in May 2022. The goal and outcomes of both conferences were markedly different. In October 2021, as the nation was still emerging from the physical lockdowns of the previous 18 months, the response in the lives and hearts of ladies attended was overwhelming in terms of the physical freedom that they experienced. For many, October was the first public meeting they had attended for almost 2 years. Of course, the aftermath of spiritual and emotional disorientation and turmoil of over 18 months of physical lockdown and extreme restrictions on normal life taking their toll cannot be Underestimated This was the very sphere that we felt the Lord wanted to minister into in May 2022. Ladies out of Lockdown 2 surpassed expectations with delegates spending a day in the presence of the Lord, being empowered and repositioned with renewed confidence and release into the next phase of their lives and ministry. **Delegates discussing important issues that are close to their heart.** _“Hi…, it was good to be there, both of us loved it and especially the mix of cultures which is just how God wants it!!!”_ **Apostle M-A. Dalrymple, Diamonds International Christian Ministries** _“Thanks so much to all who organised the conference and spoke at it. It was a truly memorable time of inspiration and meeting up with precious friends.”_ **Dr. Ruth Ferguson** _“It really was an amazing day with very deep teaching and the moving of the Lord. We reflected in our ladies group how really thought provoking it was. I would be most grateful for a copy of the slides ‘from barrenness to fruitfulness’ and the handouts on the ladies and their different hang-ups.”_ **Sheila** 21 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** In May2022, the Evangelist Roundtable, under the leadership of Rev. Colette Barron and her amazing team of evangelists, hosted an evangelists conference in Northampton. The vision of the conference was **Impartation-Activation-Transformation.** Subjects covered included: - The importance of prayer and intercession. - Meaningful discipleship. - What time is it, on the spiritual clock? - Why do evangelism? - The fire of God. Rev. Jenny Lambert, a gifted, evangelist from Northampton, is being used by God through a beautiful and creative ministry called _**Neighbourhood Pastors.**_ Jenny shared how she began by praying for her neighbours on the street in which she lives for many years. At the same time that national lockdowns restrictions were imposed in March 2020, Jenny was led to take her praying one step further. She put letters through the letterboxes of her neighbours advising them that she was praying for them. In the letters she invited her neighbours to share any prayer needs they had, so that she could pray for them. In the months that followed, Jenny’s neighbours responded to her with positivity. Since beginning this project, Jenny’s neighbours have called on her for help in times of emergency, and they specifically requested that she pray for them, for a diversity of situations. Jenny has prayed for her neighbours, led them to faith in Jesus Christ and disciple them, all because she began to pray for each home and was led by the Spirit of God. If you wish to know more about setting up Neighbourhood Pastors in your community you can email Jenny at neighbourhoodpastors@gmail.com Benjamin and Sheila Luk are more than qualified to have delivered the session on Discipleship. Both have been used of God to personally disciple literally hundreds of individuals in the Christian faith. Only heaven will reveal the full extent of the power and fruitfulness of their ministry. 22 ## **EQUIPPING THE SAINTS** After the devastating effects of the global pandemic, what is the future of the Christian church? This book presents various ways that the church is already functioning outside the walls of the church building and ideas for the future. Church leaders from around the UK give their views on taking church to local people, including online services. Many of the people being reached might never have entered a church building. These leaders include worship leaders, international speakers and the head of a major annual youth event. **CEO of World Mandate Ministries, Rev Elaine Roberts** was invited to contribute a whole chapter to the book and already there has been much positive feedback. One of the most important things about this book is that proceeds from the sales go to Comfort, International—a ministry that rescues and ministers to women who have been violently abused, including rape in what the war-torn nations of Africa including Rwanda. ## **Church Without Walls sells for £8.95 on Amazon.** 23 WORLD MANDATE MINISTRIES REGISTERED CHARITY No: 1091640 REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022 24 ## WORLD MANDATE MINISTRIES ## REGISTERED CHARITY No: 1091640 Contents Reference and administrative information Trustees report Independent Examiners report Accounting policies Statement of financial activities Balance sheet Notes to the accounts Pages 25 ## WORLD MANDATE MINISTRIES REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022 Reference and administrative information Trustees Dr. R Barrett Rev.
