Achievements and performance
OUR HERITAGE - CHOSEN PEOPLE MINISTRIES HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR 127 YEARS.
In 1862, in the ghetto of the little town of Berenza in eastern Hungary, a family of orthodox Jews joyfully welcomed a new son, Leopold Cohn, whose destiny would become interwoven with the future of Jewish people across two continents. At the tender age of seven years old, Leopold lost both of his parents and he and his sister became orphans. This tragic loss combined with the loneliness and isolation of ghetto life caused Leopold to cry out to God for help and comfort. The Lord answered Leopold’s prayers and guided his steps throughout the rest of his childhood and as a young adult, providing an illustrious rabbinic career.
It was during his years of rabbinic study that certain portions of Scripture leapt off the page to Rabbi Leopold, especially the passages in the book of Daniel that describe the timeline of Messiah’s coming. Cohn was perplexed, but a rabbi in a distant town advised him to go to America where people knew more about the Messiah, so Cohn immediately made his preparations to leave for the United States.
Rabbi Leopold Cohn
In New York Rabbi Cohn walked by a church where there was a sign with Hebrew letters saying “Meetings for Jews.” Too curious to turn away, Cohn entered the church, and to his utter amazement, the room was packed with 800 or so Jewish men and women. There was even a choir of Jewish girls singing “At the cross…” Cohn found this confusing but he stayed to hear some of the preaching. He was fascinated … but as an observant Orthodox Jew RF 7 _A he was also disgusted … there were many _Aiien = cultural things that were off-putting to his traditional Jewish upbringing. Subsequently he ‘ er eee a ae visited the preacher at his home, and after much discussion, the preacher gave him a New ” PodEUS ne eee) Se Soe Slay ESle ie Testament in Hebrew to read. As Leopold read the New Testament, he came to realize that Jesus was the true Jewish Messiah! | nt a rat feeder (2 Sot = pen = F
In 1892 Rabbi Cohn sailed to Britain to study at New College Edinburgh and had a strong desire to share this news, especially with his own people. It was notably in Scotland that an interest in this message had taken root in the churches. Godly men like Andrew Bonar and Robert Murray McCheyne were key to this.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
His training completed, Leopold Cohn travelled on to New York where in 1894 he founded a mission that was to become Chosen People Ministries. The work grew steadily over the years and now operating autonomously in 17 countries of the world.
In the UK It was in 1938, on the brink of WW2, the director of CPM responded to an appeal from Jewish believers in Kishineff for emergency aid. Consequently, along with others, Leon and Marie Awerbuch escaped from Bessarabia to England and began working among the Jews of London. The CPM contribution to this work continued until 1964.
During the 1990’s there was a sporadic attempt to restart this work, this time in Manchester. But it was not until 1999 that the British-born John Pretlove, Chairman of the American Board of CPM, was to realise a dream. Together with the International President, Mitch Glaser, a British Board of Trustees was set up and in 2005 they appointed their first UK Director, Daniel Nessim, who provided much of the foundation of the work in the UK.
After sterling service Daniel relocated to Seattle. Mitch Glaser, CPM’s International President has been overseeing the work in the UK. Fiona Sorbala was appointed CoDirector in October 2022.
From these small beginnings has grown the outreach, social and educational work that is now based within the Jewish community of North London. Staff members are well placed to challenge anti-Semitism in the Britain of today; also, to act as advocates for the Jewish people, and especially for those who choose to follow Jesus.
OVERVIEW OF THE PAST YEAR
We continue to be deeply thankful for the continued faithfulness and generosity of our UK donors.
In early 2025 we hosted a conference in London called ‘Israel and the Church: A Fresh Perspective’. This timely and thought-provoking event brought together leading voices to explore the deep biblical, social, and ethical dimensions of the Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah conflict and the Church’s relationship with Israel today.
It also revealed groundbreaking survey results from the first ever robust survey of how Christians in the UK feel about Israel and the Jewish people.
Our volunteer missionaries from Hong Kong are steadily building relationships within the Jewish community. By using the opportunities presented by Jewish feasts, they’ve been able to expand their door-to-door ministry, leading to many new connections and open doors for further outreach.
Our weekly online Bible studies are very popular and well attended.
We had a visit from a CPM missionary from Israel who had a successful 4 week speaking tour during Passover, visiting various churches and fellowships in and around the UK.
Our UK staff also visited the USA for a speaking tour in the South Carolina region on how the Passover points to Jesus.
Our church speaking engagements across the United Kingdom have notably increased, and we are deeply encouraged by the opportunity to teach how Jesus is fulfilled in the Jewish feasts, as well as in other key biblical themes.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
The North London congregation continue to meet weekly as well as holding weekly bible studies and prayer meetings online.
The year concluded with a week-long outreach entitled ‘Shalom London’. A team of missionaries from Chosen People Ministries USA came over to participate. Since most of them had never been to the UK, the first point of call was on making them familiar with Jewish areas in London, such as Stamford Hill and Golders Green.
Chosen People Ministries (UK) Trustees Activities
The CPM (UK) Board met regularly in person, welcoming Michael Tetzlaff as Chairman. The staff are so appreciative of the regular support and guidance given by all the Trustees.
Financial review
The principal sources of funds for the charity are donations from individuals, trusts and partner organisations.
The main areas of expenditure during the year:
-
Remuneration of staff and their expenses incurred pursuing their charitable activities
-
Governance, administration and the communication with donors.
None of our Trustees receive remuneration from their work with the charity.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
Statement of Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of Chosen People Ministries (UK) 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), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and 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 can 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.
Small companies provision statement
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.
The annual report was approved by the Trustees of the charity on 23 October 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

As the charity’s Trustees of Chosen People Ministries (UK) (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
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)].

CHOSEN PEOPLE MINISTRIES (UK)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
