Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
The mission of Brooks of Life Ministries International is to foster spiritual transformation, digging the wells of revival, in strategic cities in the UK, all over Europe, Africa, America and other parts of the world as the Lord leads.
Our aim is to follow the example of our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in (Luke 4:43)"we must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also, because for this purpose we have been sent"
Thus its our commitment to penetrate and saturate major urban areas with the Gospel of the Kingdom and so we believe in missions long term and short term.
Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
A wide variety of activities have been undertaken during the year in relation to the charities objects, including prayer meetings, events and conferences and a bible school.
Financial review
Principal funding sources
Incoming resources in the year were £119,034 (2023 £52,576). No incoming resources were related to project restricted activities in either year.
A surplus of £10,944 was made in the year (2023 £12,256). At 31st December 2024 total reserves were £10,944, (2023 £12,256 of which £10,944 represented unrestricted funds (2023 £12,256).
Reserves policy
The Trustees have considered the level of unrestricted funds that it is appropriate for the charity to maintain over the coming twelve months. It is not considered necessary to maintain a significant level of reserves, since the charitable company has no operating lease or loan commitments. The current level of reserves is therefore considered satisfactory.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
