## **GOGFAN Church Annual Report today** April 2022 to March 2023 financial year accounts and returns report: - 1: Trustee attendance. All present - 2: Opening Prayer: Deaconess Wilel Mckenzie. - 3: Minutes of the last meeting read and agreed: By all - 4: Matters arising from the minutes. None ## **1: Church membership** - (a) Membership in the UK is spiritually active; news from Pakistan is very encouraging in terms of numerical growth as well as spiritual development. ## **In-House Service Atmosphere** There is great Christian brotherly unity peace and true liberty between members of all ages and genders. There have not been any personal grievances between members since 2014. Members testify that they cannot wait for church services because of the experience of tangible love from every member of the church. The Holy Spirit's presence has been consistently powerful in the ministry as a result, with outcomes of physical miracles and healings. ## **(b) Other Ministry events** We had thirty (30) church group witnessing / evangelistic outreaches to the lost, for Christ this year; in addition to individual member's outreaches. All monthly Holy Communion services were held. We had a 3-day Easter prayer meeting for members, community, and nations; in addition to our yearly spiritually- fulfilling November Thanksgiving service, Christmas Carol nights, and New Year’s Eve service; as well as monthly prayer vigil. We thank God that we did not lose any of our members to death, for the years April 2022 to March 2023. We pray and trust our loving Christ and God to sustain us all continually with good health and long life until the glorious appointed time of our peaceful departure to meet with Him in paradise, in Jesus' Name Amen ## **(2) Church Finance: and Bank services** Also, the LORD has blessed the majority of members with employment, resulting in more voluntary contributions in obedience to the biblical doctrine of tithes and offerings to carry on with the work of His Kingdom on earth. As such we have been able to meet our concurrent financial obligations, without borrowing or engaging in public fund-raising outside the ministry, nor grant from the government. This, we intend to continue believing that God will supply to do His work as the scriptures confirm, Phil. 4: 19; 1 Thess. 5: 24; Luke 1: 37. Our online banking is yet to be set up because of the residential distance separating the appointed signatories. We intend to consult the bank to sort it out; to adjust signature requirements to enhance the online banking system ## **Church Welfare to community and members** We experienced an increase in welfare spending for church members: bereavements, elderly / widow care, gifts for children during Christian festivities, local community love feasts, transport fares /help for the unemployed, appreciation blessings for new entrants to UNI, etc. The figures can be seen in the church's annual accounts and returns. We operate in practical love; which equally extends to members of the community – the needy when we identify them anywhere ## **(3) New place of worship** For some obvious reasons, the trustees and members are aware of our moving out from 63 St. Mary’s Road on 10[th] March 2023, to Church Hall, St. Pauls’ Herne Hill, SE24, 9LY. Hence our worship times changed to, 1 pm to 4 pm on Sundays and we have reflected this on our website.
