The Board of Trustees is pleased to present their annual report of the Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries (UK) for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 under the Charities Act 2011, together with the financial statements for the year and confirm that the latter comply with the requirements of the Charities Act, the Trust Deed and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and reporting by charities’ issued in March 2005.
Structure, Governance and Management
Structure
The Charity is made up of assemblies which are spread throughout the country. Each assembly has an elected leadership which oversees the day to day running of that assembly. The church is divided into four geographical regions, namely the Northern, Southern, Midlands and Central region. Assembly Board members within a region,

Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries (UK) Report of the Trustees for the Year ended 31 March 2024
form the Regional Workers Council (RWC) for each region. Each respective RWC appoints a Regional Committee, which oversees the running of the region. Members of the Assembly Boards constitute the National Workers Council (NWC). It is from the NWC that the national leadership who are referred to as National Apostolic Committee (NAC) is elected and appointed. The local (assembly) leadership is accountable to the regional committee who are in turn accountable to NAC.
Governing documents
The Charity was established by a trust deed on the 17[th of] March 2003
Governing bodies
The Charity is governed by the National Workers Council (NWC) which has powers according to the constitution of the AFMIM (UK). The National Workers Council is responsible for:
-
Appointing the members of the spiritual, administrative, and strategic leadership board – the National Apostolic Council (NAC).
-
Appointing the Board of Trustees
-
Policies and procedures for induction and training of Trustees
-
Organisational structure
-
Relationships with related parties.
Recruitment and Training of the Trustees
It is from within the Regional Workers Council (RWC) that the charity’s trustees are elected and appointed during triennial meetings of the RWC. Each RWC elects a trustee who will represent the region in the NWC. The national board of trustees is made up of the four regional trustees as well as three members of the NAC. Eligibility is determined by individual competence, specialist skills and availability to serve in the role. New Trustees are inducted into the working of the charity as well as into the charity’s policies and procedures at an induction workshop, which is organised by the existing Trustees. The NAC organises triennial strategic planning for both the Trustees and NWC. Leadership training workshops for all are regularly conducted throughout the year. Resources or personnel for such training are both internal and external individuals with specialist skills.
Organisational Management
The Charity Trustees are legally responsible for the overall management, monitoring, and control of both the charity’s leadership organs, and meet at least three times a year. Working in close liaison with the charity’s ecclesial leadership (the NAC), Charity Trustees ensure various lower boards at national, regional and assembly levels comply with the charity’s policies. The NAC meets three weeks before each meeting of the full NWC and the Board of Trustees meetings and on two extra occasions every year specifically to approve the budgets and finalise the financial statements and annual reports for approval by the NWC.
Branch structure
The units that were operational during the year were:

-

-

-
Youth
-
Geographic Regions (Northern, Central, Midlands and Southern)
-
Men’s Fellowship
-
National Pastor’s Fellowship
All assemblies are now independent charities and their current year financial results have been excluded from this report.
Risk Management
The NAC has been delegated responsibility of risk control according to the charity’s constitution and policies and procedures. Detailed consideration of risk is delegated to the NAC who are assisted by the NWC. Risks are identified, assessed, and controlled and established throughout the year informally. The NAC continue to improve and ensure that the system of internal controls is adequate and cost effective.
The process of decentralization i.e., registering Assemblies with the Charities Commission as separate charities, which began in 2011, has now been completed. This was a move to improve efficiency by bringing accountability closer to the assemblies, where the activities are happening. So, each charity has its own trustees. Over the years we have tightened our procedures and processes to make it very clear where we stand regarding churches, their responsibilities, where they start and where they end i.e., recruitment of pastors is decentralised, therefore any problems and challenges they encounter, and any financial commitments accrued are all solely the responsibility of the churches as separate entities to the main church.
Trustees have identified a potential risk that the charity/charity assets, (physical and human intellectual assets) could be exposed to because of the decentralization and independent registering of assemblies. To mitigate this risk, Trustees in liaison with the NAC are in the process of formulating legal contracts between the AFMIMUK charity and its affiliates and associate members to protect the use of the emblem and to protect the charity assets and ensure the continuity of the main charity. Through the risk management process established for the Charity the trustees are satisfied that the major risks have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
Mitigation:
The current trustees board takes mitigation very seriously as lack of proper extensive mitigation breeds chaos and disorder therefore we need to put measures and processes in place regarding dismissal of pastors as this has proved to be a challenge in the past, we encourage the churches to be reasonable and mature in the way they deal with their pastors to create a harmonious atmosphere.
We need to monitor the individual church recruitment processes and need to deal with grievances according to the church constitution and make sure that we are on top of all issues to correct them swiftly before they get out of hand and cause crises.
Regarding assemblies’ compliance to charities commission annual financial statements submission, we are aware of changes to the charities commission process, and we have sent a reminder to all churches to upgrade their online registration statuses accordingly, we continue to monitor the different assemblies to ensure that everyone is compliant.
Objectives and Activities
Charitable Objects
The main objective of the Trust is the advancement of the Christian religion in accordance with the Holy Scriptures (Holy Bible) as contained in the confession of faith set below:
-
We believe in God eternal, triune, almighty creator, sustainer, and ruler of all creation.
-
We believe in God the Father, the author of creation and salvation.
-
We believe in Jesus Christ the only Son of God the Father, true God who for the sake of humanity and its salvation descended from heaven and became flesh, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born by the virgin Mary, who lived on earth and was crucified, died and was buried, who rose from the dead and ascended to heaven where he is seated at the right hand of the Father.
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit, true God proceeding from the Father and the Son, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment and leads in all truth.
-
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God written by men as the Holy Spirit inspired them. We believe that it authoritatively proclaims the will of God and teaches us all that is necessary for salvation.
-

Trustees Annual Report
-
We believe that all human beings are created in the image of God; due to their sinful rebellion, this image is marred that all have sinned before God, and it is the will of God that all people will receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
-
We believe in baptism in the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as promised to all believers.
-
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts and fruit of the Spirit to all Christians. We believe that a Christian should be a disciple of Jesus Christ living a consecrated and holy life.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, which is constituted by the Holy Spirit and consists of born-again believers. The Church is responsible for the proclamation and demonstration of the gospel and God’s will to people. As a charismatic community, they fellowship with and edify one another.
-
We believe that the believers’ baptism by immersion and the Lord’s supper are institutions of Christ to be observed by the Church.
-
We believe in a day of judgment when Christ will judge the living and the dead.
-
We believe in the resurrection of the body and the eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
-
We believe in the new Heaven and the new earth where God will reign in glory.
Other objectives:
-
Youth training in human and social development.
-
Continual provision for the welfare for the poor and the needy.
-
Relief in times of national and international disasters.
-
To help in Children’s Ministries that is Sunday School, where morals are taught.
-
Marriage counselling and family support.
Review of performance against objectives
During the period under review the AFM IM (UK) set the following objectives amongst others.
-
Church growth through local assemblies
-
We are happy to report a marked progress in facilitating growth in local branches and raising the profile of the mission by establishing preaching points within a certain radius of an assembly utilizing individuals with relevant skills to promote missions. We have managed to maintain our previous eleven preaching points that were established in the previous year, and we have increased them significantly, setting up new assemblies in all regions.
-
All elders, deacons, pastors, and new members welcomed the year before settled well and some have been significant in setting up new assemblies across all the regions.
-
Continuous leadership training
Training for affiliate charity trustees, assembly board members and departmental officials is now in place, and we conducted our first ever training for BOT members in July 2024, this was conducted by our very own highly talented internal resources and commissioned by the President for the UK, it covered all the basic necessary information for board of Trustees. We have another workshop for board of trustees marked for January 2025 which will cover the introduction of new proposed contracts, charities commission compliance issues and how to claim gift aid. More new Pastors (Ministers of Religion) having gone through and completed their studies at approved and accredited bible colleges, underwent probationary periods under various Senior Pastors (supervisors) before being ordained at the annual general conference.
-
Promoting the Christian gospel more widely and more visibly
-
Conferences for the spiritual enrichment of adult men, women as well as for youths and children, open to the public were conducted successfully in all regions at different dates as allocated by the church calendar. However, in 2024 a proposal was motioned to combine all departmental conferences into one mega conference in Llandudno North Wales, this was done from the 25[th] to the 28[th] of July 2024. We hired one large venue which could accommodate the Ladies, Men, Youth and Sunday school at the same, this was done on a trial basis to cut down hiring costs and it turned out to be resounding success and it successfully reduced our annual hiring costs significantly.

. Public Benefit
In line with the aim of spreading the Christian gospel within the United Kingdom, AFMIM (UK) through its network of local churches, we managed to arrange traditional Sunday services and a variety of local church activities involving children, youth, and adults. Amongst these, people with a variety of spiritual, social, and emotional needs were also assisted. The church, whose roots are in Zimbabwe, has been predominantly comprised of people originally from that country worshipping at various assemblies but it is pleasing to note that other nationalities have started to come and have integrated well. The church doors remain open as we thrive to be a church for all nationalities and backgrounds.
The year under review has witnessed tremendous community outreach projects earmarked for spreading goodwill within our local communities and this has encouraged a positive impact within most of our local areas. We have seen all departments going all out to successfully execute their local, regional, and annual conferences which has been hugely encouraging.
National Place of Worship
Church programmes continue to be hindered by the absence of a national centre where some of our charitable activities can be directed from. The executive arm, the National Apostolic Committee is committed to search for opportunities to acquire a National Place of Worship where other long-term goals such as a school of theology would be established. Establishing more assemblies, subassemblies and preaching points in more cities and towns of the UK remains crucial to the main objective of advancing the Christian religion in accordance with the Holy Scriptures as contained in the confessions of faith.
Volunteers
Trustees would like to take this opportunity to appreciate the continuing and valuable support given by volunteers for our work through various channels, including but not limited to donations.
Financial review
The Statement of Financial Activities shows Incoming Resources for the year ended 31 March 2024 is £239,709 compared to the year ended 31 March 2023 is £85544.00 The 180% increase in incoming resources is due to the consolidation of four regions and the national AFM IM in England & Wales and Scotland.
Resources Expended were £265604 for the year ended 31 March 2024 as compared to £96996 resources expended in year end 31 March 2024. This increase of 174% is mainly due to the consolidation of expenditures four regions and the national AFM IM in England & Wales and Scotland.
There is no significant change in the restricted funds (building funds) as compared to the previous years.
The Net Incoming Resources for the year ended were negative as compared to the previous year. However, the church needs to find cost savings wherever possible or need to seek more resources to finance the activities of the church.
Reserves policy
The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves of the Charity, consideration of the income and expenditure streams, and the need to match income with commitments and the nature of reserves. Trustees have set a minimum balance of £30,000 as reserves for the current year and aim to review this level in the following year. The current cash balance for the year ended 31 March 2024 is £54780 due to the consolidation of four regions and the national AFM IM in England & Wales and Scotland. However, the AFM IM needs to continue reviewing its reserve policy in order to meet the set goals.
The reserve balance is necessary:
-
to provide sufficient working capital to cover delays between spending and receipt of income.
-
to provide a cushion to deal with unexpected emergencies.
-
for church running costs and
-
to enable the Trust to pursue projects at the trustees’ discretion.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each

12
Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries (UK) Notes to the Accounts
Expenditure
Recognition of expenditure
Expenditure on raising funds Expenditure on charitable activities
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs.
These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.
Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.
Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Freehold investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due 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 at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
13
Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries (UK) Notes to the Accounts
Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
