Objectives and Activities ,Objects & Aims
The objects of the trust are to advan￿ Christian religion,missions. projects in the UK and supporting workers
overseas. We also provide educats'onal programs, along with assisting the poor and needy.
Review of Activites
The work of Connections continues in Ihe UK and overseas. We are delighted to say that despite the economic
difficulties our income for overseas missions did not decrease.
Guyana
For many years Guyana was a very poor county but praise God it is now developing with the discovery of oil and
gas. Some churches are now able lo support inland churches and new workers, however there are slill needs to
support pastors and workers. In areas such as way up the Essequibo river new churches are being developed as
the gospel is preached in these ouuying regions.
The children's home in Hauraruni is supported, as is the bible school which now mainly works wth Amer-lndians
who go back lo Iheir villages to spread the gospel. We are able to support the work in Guyana on a monlhly basis.
There are over 150 churches and the work is thriving. A visit to Guyana gave us an updated picture and helped us
to make sure the money was used correcuy.
Philippines
We give monthly support to the Philippines and we see the works there evangelise great zeal. Virtually every
month a new church is being built followng a crusade in a village. There are around 180 churches now. In some
new pla￿$ they have gone lo a new village withoLrt a Chrislian Community, Put up a large tenl Ihen provided food
for all the people then held a service. This method has seen many make decisions and new churches have been
built. The workers are also trained to help in a crisis such as a major storm which they carry out very successfully.
This work is in the Island of Mindanao one of the poorest islands in the Philippines. There is also a children's home
and a bible school. A visit will take pla￿ in 2024.
Uganda
We also give to Uganda on a quartedy basis. One church in the Isle of Sheppey not only gives financial support,
but members often visit. Three schools have been built and sUPPOrted a5 are the teachers, there is a children's
home which receives donations and a number of churches
Thailand
We support a missionary in Thailand on a monthly basis. We have to keep details confidential but it is a good work
is going on there in difficult circumstances.
Heart of Prayer, held full day prayer meelings in the UK. Poland and India. There is much blessing and power in
these meetings.
Worship Life Style headed by Jennifer Shidds held a number of seminars and meeting to help individuals and
churches to grow into deeper worship, moving in the power of the Hoty SpiriL
Heart of Prayer, held full day prayer meets'ngs in the UK and India. There is much blessing and power in these
meetings .

wilh Freddie Roberson who was also a founder of the bible school. It meets many needs in a particular for those
who want to leam more. All the directors of Connections are on the board of the bible school and they are also

Going Concem
The trustees consider that there are no material Un￿rtaIntieS about the charitys ability to continue as a going
concem nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by Ihe charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income. rt is probable that the income will be
re￿iVed and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliabty.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and serfement date. In
the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of perf0mlan￿ 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 Ihe fuifilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions
11 be fulfilled in the reporbng period.
Gifts in kind
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value lo the charity or the amounl actually
realised.Those for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the
charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are induded in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated services and facilities

they relate.
