## **Charity Commission Report for Light For The Last Days in 2022.** Charity Commission Registration Number: 1099651. Address: 54 Bridge Lane, London, NW11 0EH. Trustees: Mr Paul Duffett, Mr James Vickery, Mr Stephen Beckingham. Director: Mr Antony Pearce. Light for the Last Days was constituted as a charitable trust in April 2003 for the purpose of advancing the Christian faith. During 2022 we continued to produce the magazine Light for the Last Days. 10,000 copies are printed four times a year and sent out to people on our mailing list. Copies are also distributed by those using them in evangelism or at public meetings. The magazine is also distributed online. We produce leaflets and booklets on the Bible and prophecy which are distributed through our members. During the year several thousand copies of our leaflets ‘SOS’ and ‘Hope for the Future’, ‘Global Warning’ have been distributed, as well as our booklet ‘10 signs of the Second Coming.’ Our website is www.lightforthelastdays.co.uk. This is visited by people from around the world and contains articles on Bible teaching and current issues and events. It also contains the magazine. We have also produced a regular Prophecy Update, ‘The Month in Prophecy’ which is recorded on the last Sunday of the month at The Bridge Christian Fellowship and distributed via our website and the Bridge website (www.bridgelane.org.uk) as well as on CDs. We regularly have over 1000 people visiting this site. The magazine continues to be translated into French, German, Romanian and the Indian language, Malayalam. Ligia Luca translates into Romanian and distributes the magazine in Romania. She has also set up a Romanian website https://luminaultimelorzile.wordpress.com which is visited by Romanian speakers in many countries. Cornelia Kuruc translates the magazine into German and distributes it in Switzerland and Germany. She does this as a voluntary activity, funded by supporters on her mailing list. Stephane Jacquemain translates the magazine into French and we distribute it in France and other French speaking countries in Europe and Africa. Rev Pappy Daniel translates the magazine into the Indian language, Malayalam and distributes our material in India. We have supported the work of Danijel Vukovic in Serbia who has translated some our materials and distributed them there. In 2022 Danijel had our 10 Signs booklet translated into Russian and Ukrainian to be distributed to the large number of Russians and Ukrainians fleeing the war and now living in Serbia. We have funded translation and printing costs of this. We have also supplied materials and funds for help in the work of Frazer Nauliya in Malawi. We continue to produce our literature in Chinese and Spanish, translated by our worker Eric Martinez. Eric Martinez has been working on expanding the work through use of the Internet and social media and seen a growing interest in this means of getting our message out to a wider audience. We now have large numbers of people in contact with us via Facebook and the Internet, including many in India, Pakistan, and various African countries. Financial support for the charity comes from free will gifts from those on our mailing list. A number of people give regularly to the work under our Gift Aid scheme. We have a healthy reserve fund which is adequate to cover all anticipated expenses during 2023. We will continue to use our resources to produce and distribute the magazine and leaflets which contain Christian news and views about current world events in the light of Bible prophecy and teaching on the meaning of the Bible. All of this is available to the general public.
