ACTIVITIES OF THE YEAR
Global Ministry of Champions operate an open-door policy where all our activities are open to the public. We meet every Friday on the church premises for prayers and words of exhortation. Also on Sundays, we meet to sings praises to our God, lifting our hands in worship and listening to the word of God. We organised a talk on blood pressure with a health expert to create an awareness because it research has shown it is prevalent within people of African descent. Members engaged with the expert and asked questions. At the end of the day many ideas about blood pressure were debunked and members left better informed and the commitment to take this aspect seriously. We also launched the men’s fellowship with a celebration on a Sunday where the men spearheaded every activity from opening prayer to taking of offering. We had three baby dedications within the year and a barbeque during summer. We had plenty of food to eat and had outdoor games and some sort of competition where the winners were crowned and received an award. We had passersby join in and have fun. To us as a church, it was an opportunity to spread the love of Jesus to others.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Philippians 3:14 (KJV), ‘ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus’.
The year 2022 is the year of pressing on. Throughout the year, we have learnt about the need to press on in our relationship with God, press on in every aspect of our lives to achieve great things and to be relevant in society. For the youth, it meant consistency in their studies and the importance to maintain a positive at ude towards schoolwork and the church. Aside Sunday and Friday services, we have organised bible studies coupled with prayers and fasting on specific days within the year as well as organising seminars for the youths especially. We have recorded several testimonies from members on how the teachings has helped them in striving to be a better version of themselves and testimonies of people not giving up on their dreams and visions even when all odds were against them. in the character of members especially the youth.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
As the Charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities 2011 act (the Act) does not apply.
It is our responsibility to:

- -follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and -state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts ,and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention.
-
1 which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
-to prepare accounts which accords with the accounting records and comply
-
with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met;
