## CHALLENGES.
## Financial:
Because the church’s source of income is via the funds raised through people donations and free contribution, we face financial hardship due to no trading activities whatsoever.
Staffing levels and attendance have reduced due to more volunteers working full time but the numbers were about 60%.
## FUTURE PLANS:
Choosing more Trustees /Elders new people new capabilities new strength.
To improve more on church activities 2021-2022
To secure government funding for our charity
_Volunteers_ . We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church spiritually and socially strong despite the challenges we went through this year.
We also thank different servants of God who worked tirelessly to run church activities online and face to face when possible in order to continue strengthen the church and maintain growth despite the covid 19 pandemic and the national lockdown.
