They were conducted online successfully every Sunday morning in three languages including Cantonese, Mandarin and English until the year end although the actual Sunday service was resumed from August. Regarding the attendance, until June, there was an average attendance of 35 people each Sunday including our children. The Cantonese people were counted approximately 80% and the Mandarin 20%. However, after June, there were many brothers and sisters joining our church. They were coming from Hong Kong with their BNO visas. The number of attendances was therefore increasing gradually to approx. 100 people by the end of 2021. Holy Communion on every second Sunday of each month was stopped from March 2020 due to the Covid-19 and it was resumed on the Sunday service from 8[th] August 2021 too. ## **Sunday schools** Our Sunday school was combined with the Baptist church service every Sunday, teaching children from aged 2 to 16. Due to the lockdown, this was done online until August. Children learned about God through the bible studies and games. The attendance of children in our church was increasing from 10 children to approx. 30 at the year end. ## **Preaching and sermons** Our congregation was provided with English, Cantonese and Mandarin interpretation. The theme in 2021 was “Reading Bible and praying while watching out together; practising the truths while evangelising the others.” Apart from our own Pastors, we also invited guest speakers from Chinese overseas Christian Mission and other churches. ## **House Groups with Bible studies** Due to the increasing numbers of brothers and sisters, we had started a few more cell groups in the second half of this year. They are divided by areas such as Luton, Harpenden, Hemel Hampstead, etc. They all have 4 to 8 members and met regularly online. They were mainly Bible studies with special themes occasionally. Family Gatherings were held on the second Saturday afternoon of the **TAR** **April 2009** 4 Section D Achievements and erformance p last four months with an average attendance of 5 people. ## **Mandarin Student fellowship** Mandarin student fellowship was supposed to be held online on every alternative Thursday evening aiming to evangelise the Chinese students who studied in the University of Bedfordshire. It was 3.5 hours from 6 pm to 9.30 pm including dinner, sharing, worship, Bible studies and prayers. However, it was terminated from August last year because there were very few students attending it. And we did not have enough students to start again this year. Yet, we shall be running it again in the future when possible. ## **Outreach and visitations** We have not done any visitations to the local Chinese takeaway shops and restaurants in this year due to the lockdown up to August. There were only some personal visitations to our church members or new comers by our council members or Pastor after the lockdown. ## **Prayer meetings** They were held online on Monday and Wednesday every alternative week. The average attendance ranged from 3 to 8 people. ## **Donations to various missionary organisations and their workers** We gave money consistently to support various Evangelical organisations and missionary workers worldwide. The total of these donations in 2021 was £6,900. We also gave to World Vision to support Children in the third world. The Shoe Boxes for the project organised by Samaritan’s Purse International (Christmas gifts for children packed in Shoe Boxes) was cancelled again this year due to the pandemic. ## **We trained and supported the Theological students** We were supporting prayerfully and financially many previous theological students who had come to our church for block placements. They were all trained in our church and they have been working as missionaries in various parts of the world. Besides, we were also supporting those who were studying full time or part time in various Theological colleges too. The total spending on 2021 was £6,500. **TAR** **April 2009** 5 Section D Achievements and erformance p ## **Providing individual helps to those who were in need** Some of us were old people living alone, broken families with problem children, divorced widows etc. We had provided them with visitations, care, love, counselling, food, and translations after the lockdown. We also help them to apply various social benefits including unemployment, housing, council taxes reduction, low-income support, pension, and pension credit…etc. We took them to see the dentists or doctors in order to help them with the translation needed. Yet, during the lockdown, all our care was done by telephone calls or video conferences instead of physical consultations. **TAR** **April 2009** 6 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The trustees have considered the operation of the church and believe that the equivalent of six months’ expenditure is an appropriate amount to be held in reserve for our church. Such an amount would provide working capital to cover fluctuations in income and expenditure. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** > [Felix Or ] **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Felix Or **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Treasurer **etc) Date** 14th July 2022 **TAR** **April 2009** 7 |**Charity Name**

It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity Commission. 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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. **Independent** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention **examiner's statement** (other than that disclosed below *) 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act - have not been met ; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Signed: Date:** 14/07/2022 **Name:** Siu Hong Yau **Relevant professional** Master in Economics & Finance **qualification(s) or body (if any):** 1 **IER** **April 2009** **Address:** **`[106 Rosemullion Avenue]`** > **`[MILTON KEYNES] MK4 3AY`** ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material problems. 2 **IER** **April 2009** **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . 3 **IER** **April 2009**
