CHARITY REVIEW

Introductory Comments

In contrast to last year and the slow recovery from the global effects of Covid 19, LifeSpring Ministries has experienced significant growth. We have seen many new families moving into the city of Wolverhampton from other countries, who have made LifeSpring Church their spiritual home. This has led to the expansion of our Open Arms ministry. This ministry caters for asylum seekers and newly arrived families to the UK. Due to the continued growth of our church, we have made the decision to re-develop our facility and have launch our Enlarge the House initiative.

This year we celebrated 25 years of LifeSpring ministries, this was a wonderful weekend where saw record numbers in our Sunday Service. We were also able to host a number of conferences, including, Re-claim 23 conference, The Father’s Heart Conference and Developing the Secret Place, a teaching seminar with John and Carol Arnott from Catch the Fire Ministries.

We were also able to re-launch the LifeSpring School of Ministry where we had 24 students enrolled. We ran two membership courses culminating with 44 new members added to the church and a baptism service with 28 Candidates. In relation to the struggling congregation referred to in last year’s report, we are pleased to report that the church is thriving and regularly have between 25 -50 people attending each week. The Ark Church in Sutton Coldfield has also seen significant growth and as a result have moved to two services, have out grown their current building and are looking for new premises.

LifeSpring Global

LifeSpring Global continues to enlarge as it explores a number of ministry opportunities both in the UK and overseas. The year saw mission and ministry trips to a number of nations including Mozambique, South Africa, India and Nepal where in each case we are developing relationships, training leaders and assisting with various projects.

Plans were also put into place to reinstate the annual Reclaim conference and LifeSpring School of Ministry. The monthly ministry newsletter continues to grow and in order to enable all these developments a part time staff member was deployed to handle administration.

In the Midlands region of the UK the works in Burntwood and Sutton Coldfield continued to grow and along with our overseas pastors, we hosted several global zoom meetings. The Global financial partnerships also grew with new people contributing on a monthly basis.

We anticipate that soon we shall be able to plant a further church into the region and expand into more nations.

Small Wonders Stay and Play Group

We have had a busy & exciting year at Small Wonders. We have seen over 280 families at Small Wonders. We have run 75 sessions over 12 months with a total cumulative attendance of over 10,000 adults & children through our door in that time. We have an average attendance each Friday of 275 people.

Christmas is a really busy time at Small Wonders with 161 Small Wonders children visiting Santa. We still have a very long waiting list with people waiting up to 12 months for a place.

We have welcomed 11 new babies, said goodbye to 42 Small Wonders who have left to go to school or school nursery. We have gifted 115 bunches of flowers to encourage and celebrate parents/ carers & volunteers. We have served nearly 10,000 pieces of cake!

One of our Small Wonders values is building community & we love to raise money for other charities. Parents nominated charities & voted for Children’s Cancer & Leukaemia Group to receive £350. One of our Small Wonders children was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 2020 so this felt like a really great way to show the family our love & support.

Our annual event Africa Day celebrates African unity, and all the wonderful cultures that this amazing continent is home to. We had our very own Small Wonder jungle to play in, face painting & traditional African dress we raised £500 for Fathers House of Joy in Mozambique.

Our annual Empurple Day when everything turns purple for the day raised £479.33 for The Haven Wolverhampton. We raised awareness & much needed funds for this charity that provide both practical & emotional support services to women & children who are affected by domestic violence & homelessness in our city.

Children's Ministry

During the last year in Transformer Kids the number of children (aged 2-11 years) attending our weekly Sunday sessions has increased to around 70 each week. We continue to have new families each week. We have covered the following topics: Lazarus, the parables, gifts of the Spirit, the Easter Story, Christmas and Women in the Bible.

To facilitate the growth of our groups we have moved from three groups to four groups each week. Growing our team to staff these groups. The Sunday sessions are made up of games, small group times, crafts, bible teaching, creative projects, prayer and individual times of reflection. Over the year we have seen children grow in confidence and deepen their relationships with God and each other.

In the summer term we ran our first mid-week group, called Transformer Cadets, for children in years 5 & 6. Ten children attended for a six week course, over this time they bonded as a group and would share openly with each other their opinions and feelings. We are going to continue running this group each term as it was a great success and one of the highlights of the last year.

We have run successful family events including a “Let your light shine event” which included a family service and a light party, pancake fundraiser and Good Friday walk through. These events have enabled families to spend quality time together and grow their faith together. We feel it is important to facilitate times for family to have fun together while deepening their walk with God.

We ran our second summer holiday club in August, over 60 children attended for 3 days full of fun, games, crafts and learning about the love of God. The children had a wonderful time and many parents said it was the best club their children had ever been to and cannot wait to sign up for next year.

We have run “Powerful parenting” sessions, where we equipped parents to talk to their children about current issues with God at the centre. We want parents to be the ones who disciple their children and as a ministry it is our role to support them in this.

As we look ahead to the next year, we are working on ways to facilitate the growth that we are continuing to experience. We hosted a teddy bears picnic, celebrated our 10th birthday with a superhero themed party with a photo booth, held a family photo shoot, a huge Santa’s grotto & helped numerous families having a hard time. We continue to prioritise honouring our volunteers as we held a Small Wonders volunteer awards ceremony.

Youth

It has been an incredible year where we have seen so many of our youth encounter Jesus – particularly through worship. We attended a regional youth prayer and worship event put on by the message and 24/7 prayer last February and God really lit a fire in some of our young people and we have seen real enthusiasm, confidence and growth in them. Our young people have been present at Open Heavens and some of them serving at events – which they have got a lot out of.

We took year 9+ to Limitless (youth camp) in August – which they absolutely loved. It built community and friendships like nothing else does and they had an absolute blast. They all encountered Jesus and responded to different ministry opportunities in the meetings. We had 4 of them speak in tongues for the first time, some of them had accurate prophetic words for each other and they all grew in their faith. It was mega!

This school year we have seen our numbers almost double in size. This is due to a big influx of year 6’s becoming year 7’s and we have also had a number of new families with young people join the church – which is fantastic. We are now seeing between 20 and 30 young people on a Sunday and between 30 and 40 young people on a Friday.

We have connected with All Nations and Excel youth – us going to them and them coming to us. We are building a strong relationship with their youth leaders and looking how we can support each other and work together going forward.

Director’s Report Conclusion

The Directors and ministry leaders of the Charity are pleased to report that the Charity remains financially stable. We recognise the favour of God that enabled us to continue to fulfil our commission to reach out to help those in need, and to promote the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Lifespring Ministries

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lifespring Ministries ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.
