Th8 Light Party hosted by the Churches Together Folkestone Kids Team was held al Life
Church this y8ar on 311l October. This has become a very popular event for the children of
all the local churches in the area and about 110 children attended this year. There was a
mixture of games. activities, food, worship and a Bible story encouraging them in their faith
that Jesus is the Light of the World.
The annual Christmas party for the children from Warehouse and Zoom was hèld at the
beginning of December and Life Church provided a fun evening with game challenges,
inflatables, food, a Bible message and prizes. There were about 70 children that attended,
some bringing friends from school with them.
Life Church Baby & Toddler Group
This group exists to provide a safe and caring environment for parents and carers of infants
and toddlers. It is a time each week where the leaders are able to share the love of God
practically with both the children and their parents or accompanying adults, by taking time to
12

listen, pray and provide support for all of them and all the challenges that come with day-to-
day life. We believe that each person who attends will experience the feeling of bèlonging,
family and acceptance that we know so well wrthin the family of Christ, and that thèy might
come to know Christ as their own personal Lord and Saviour through the acceptanGe they
receive.
This Baby & ToddlerGroup has becomea'weekly must, for many mums, somewho are raising
hildren alone and many who do not regularty visit Church. This group ha5 Ghanged
perceptions of Church and has proven it to be a welcoming, loving pla￿ for Ihem. As a result
of th8 Tuesday morning group some have attended Sunday services,. something they would
not have naturally done. This has been an opportunity for many parents or carers to
experience and r8spond to the love and saving grace of Jesus Chnst.
In April 2021, Baby and Toddler group was told that it could re-open after the Covid 19
restrictions w8re lifted The first few weeks il saw its usual number of 16 adults and children,
however this quickly grew and we began lo see between 30 and 40 parents attending with
their children. As the numbers grew, so did the team. During this time, we also saw increased
numbers on the group Facebook pa9e and, due lo the growing interest, we decided to OP8n
an additional session on the Wednesday We also expanded the space we used in the
building, utilising half the main hall as an activity area.
As the group continued to grow over the weeks, the team connected with the new members
and it became evident that the parents and carers felt alone, anxious and concemed about
their child's development, with some children showing speech delay and difficulties with their
80cial interaction. Having the ability to attend the group was a lifeline for them and Ih8ir
children, giving confidence and much needed social interaction and support for both the
toddlers and their parents.
A Christmas party was held for the group with an indoor bouncy castle, a snack, a special
Chnstmas craft and games time. The children were given a Christmas story book as a gift.
Many of the regular visitors invited friends and the morning was a great success Wlth an
av8rag8 of 50 children present per morning.

LIFE CHURCH MISSIONS
Life Church Missions has two arms- Home Missions and Missions Abroad.
Home Missions comprises of evangelistic projects and events in our local communilies.,
shanng God's love with those who live around us.
16

Autumn Harvest, Dovèr Mission. Babies and Toddlers. group and the Folkestone Wnter
Shelter are among the projects Life Church has supported in 2021, both financially and with
volunteers.
Autumn Harvest is a group of volunteers from Life Church who usually visil len local elderly
residential homes twice a year to hold short services singing hymns or carols and bringing the
Word of God at key times of the year, particularly at Easter and Christmas. As well as holding
services al each home, volunteers continue the visit to bring companionship to the residents
and staff., these visits a￿ really appreciated.
Autumn Harvest was not able to conduct any visits to residential home in 2021 due to Covid-
19 restrictions but did deliver Easter and Christmas cards for residents.
Oover Mlsslon has been supported by Life Church Missions by providing leadership over the
seven years that it has been established.
The purpose of the mission is lo provide discipleship, encouragement and teaching of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to predominantly Slovak Roma families who have limited or no
understanding of the English language. In 2021, al least two weekly groups were hèld in Dover
and Folkestone throughcut the year, with extra prayer or praise meetings some weeks. The
attendance at meetings has increased in 2021 to an average of 30., eleven people from the
group were water baplised and many now regularly allend the main service al Life Church on
Sundays.
In 2021 the mission focused more on the work within Slovakia, started in 2016, to reach out
lo the Slovak Roma community. The Roma community is generally marginalised in Slovakia
by the predominantly ethnically white European Slovaks. The Dover Mission group has been
working alongside the Assemblies of God Slovak Church within Slovakia which has oversight
of all the Roma churches. A strong relationship has been built in the Lord with the church
leadership that they have much respect and trust in what the Dover Mission believes the Lord
has asked them to do within the Roma community.
In February the group was able to independently raise £4500 which was used to provide food
for three of the poorest camps in Eastern Slovakia. Although travel has again been an issue
due to heavy restrictions within Slovakia, this was achieved with the help of three Roma
Pastors.
In May the group independently raised £1500 to help finish a Pastor's house who lives and
works on a larg8 camp of 1500 people, he is now able to spend more time helping people.
Temporary houses are still being built bul at a much slower pace as materials increased in
price by 60Q/o. Progress on the land that was acquired has been also slowed down, although
two run down outbuildings have been demolished.
Plans are still in progress for social and teaching centre with showers, toilet5 and facilities to
help bring a better quality of life to many Roma families.
The Baby & Toddler group provide5 an incredible opportunity to reach into our community.
It also provides an opportunity to reach out to parents, young mums, single mums who are in
need of someone lo simply talk lo. feel supported and experience the Love of Christ. When
restrictions lifted, we resumed the group in May 2021, and found that the need was extensive
as people inquired about coming but our numbers were restricted. So, in June we started
17

running on both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. As restrictions lifted further, we have
seen as many as 100 adults and children attend one of the two sessions a week. It has been
a haven for many young Mums who wera lonely and isolated during the pand8miG, several
Mums have also brought childr8n to other Life Church events and activities such as Ihe
Christmas parties and services.
The Folkestone Winter Shelter provides hot food and comfortable beds for homeless guests
in the Shepway area during the cold winter months and is run by the Rainbow Centre and
Churches Together Folkestone ICTF). The guests are also given support in their individual
short and long-term needs. Life Church supports the Folkestone Winter Shelter every year
through a donation while some of the members of the church also participate as volunteers in
the running of the shebter. In 2021, Life Church also provided two-course dinners for the Winter
Shelter guests on Thursdays throughout December.
Life Church Missions also supports Pastor Robert in his ministry to other churches and
ministers throughout the UK.
Mi8sion$ Abroad seeks to take the message of Jesus Christ out lo those who aren't local to
Life Church. Some of the avenues and actions in 2021 for this a￿..
The Life Church website and social media, which are ways that pecple from all around
the world are accessing and listening lo the messages and, as video recordings of
every service have been made available in 2021, people are now also able to view
content online.
The funding of Pastor Robert's travel lo different countries, taking the message of
Jesus Christ and supporting existing missions, projeGts and missionaries around the
world.
The Life Church Missions, fund, which gave financial gifts lo foreign missionary and
humanitarian projects. In 2021, th8 financial gifts included..
Fiji: £3765 to missionaries in Fiji
Ghana.. £500 to send a Life Church member to Ghana
There were no Missions Sunday in 2021, due to Covid-19 and associated effecls. Missions
Sundays are when the work of Life Church Missions is celebrated and reported to the church.
On a Missions Sunday, people who support financially or give their time are thanked, plans
are shared, volunteers are recruited and finances for the work are given. They are always
inspirational times and engage the congregation in the work of God in actively helping others
both locally and intemationally.
VI. SCHOOL OF LIFE AND MINISTRY
SLM {School of Life and Ministry) ran again in 2021, as an online evening modularcourse, The
course runs on 8 2-year cycle with modules starting in January and September each year, and
is laughl by the Senior Pastor of Life Church, Pastor Robert Maasbach and other pastors from
the leadership team. Students Can complete any number of modules and in any order.
SLM is designed to be as f18xible, accessible and affordable to people as possible. This has

In 2021, the modules of'ministry & Leadership" and 'World Vision. had a combined total of
26 people attending the sessions and 3 graduating. Most sessions are recorded and stored
on Soundcloud with links provided to SLM students weekly.
This course is designed to strèngthen Christians in their walk of faith and their knowledge of
the Bible, as well as prepare them for seNice within or oulside of the church and on the
mission's field. As a result of SLM, students have grown in their faith, committed themselves
to serve in various position in the Church as staff or volunteers, started or renewed Christian
projects they had begun, and went lo help communities abroad.
One of the benefits of holding ihe SLM sessions online is th8 Opportunity to reach studen16
from other part$ of Ihe UK and internationally. Besidés the students from Life Church and the
local area, students from other parts of Kent, London, Middlesex, Wiltshire, Gloucèstershire,
and internationally in California and the Fiji Islands. SLM ha5 continued to be known and
accessible to the wider public through person-to-person contact, Church announcements and
through Life Church's online and social media presence.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During another uncertain yaar with a third lockdown and various restrictions pul in place by
the Government, Life Church continued lo broadcast services weekly and to hold in-person
services as guidelines allowed.
The Trust was abl8 lo continue lo access the government Covid-19 furlough scheme for some
of the employ8es during the lockdown but most of those employees werè back at work from
the end of April. Most staff continued to work throughout either at home or, as necessary and
when restrictions allowed, at the building, Consequently, the Trust funded 96% of salaries
itself.
Income lo the Trust from donations increased during the year and the trustees were the￿10
confident lo review the salaries of many staff and give due pay rises, It was considered that
this was the lime that such a commitment could be sustained.
Having come to the end of the six months of interest-only repayments of the mortgag8, as
agreed with Ihe mortgage provider to help in 2020, full repayments were resumed at the end
of 2020 and continued throughout 2021.
The Trust began the year with a cash balance of £141,721 and ended with a cash balance of
£171,377. This is especially encouraging given the increase in salanes from August and the
return to full mortgage repayments.
Overall, the Trust has had a good year financially. particularly in view of the general uncertainty
within the country.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees view it as desirable to have sufficient funds to cover any short-term variation in
funding. Their aim is to build up resernes in order to Gover a minimum of three months fixed
19

costs, with a longer tem view to holding one year's fixed costs as a reserve at the eartiest
opportunity.
While the long term liabilities lo assets ratio remains at its current level, it is considered prudent
to reduce liabilities as quickly as possible. whilst ensuring that the charity is able to continue
operating. Therefore, any surplus funds have so far been used lo reduce the long tém
Pastor Robert Maasbach is key to the life of the Church. Therefore there is in place a life
insurance policy on his lifè to ensure that there would be sufficient funds lo redeern the
mortagage and continue to run the Church for one year in the event of his demise. This would
give the Trustees time to consid8r the future of the Charity in its curr8nl form.
The Trustees regularly review th8 financial position of the Trusl and will continue lo do so.
Prlnciple fundlng sources
The charity's main sources of income continue to be donations, gifts and offerings, with
associat8d gift aid tax reclaims.
The Charity's approach to fundraising is to teach, from lime lo lime, the biblical principles of
giving and to invite those present at a worship Servi￿ to bring their tilhes and offerings to the
Lord. This invitation is made at services and those present are free to accept or decline the
invitaton,
There May be occasions Whe￿ there is a particular need within the ministry and this will be
communicated lo the congregation for them to donate or not as they choose.
The Charsty does not engage with any third party fund raising organisations.
No donor's details are passed to any third party unless, and only if. the donor has voluntarily
made a Gift Aid declaration and then only to HMRC for the puposes of claiming Gift Aid,
Invoslment Pollcy
The Trustees have the power to invest funds in ways they see fit, provided that proper
investment advice is taken. They see il as desirable that any surplus funds would be invested
once the desired reserves have been established.
Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST FOR THE WORLD** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Christ For The World** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Christ For The World (the Trust) for the year  ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying  out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of  which is one of the listed bodies. 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set  out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
