Achievements and performance
Review of activitites
As a Christian church, we have a mission to share the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ with everyone. The good news is that God has sent his son Jesus Christ into the world so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Those who have believed in the good news of Jesus Christ are being well looked after. We see to it that they are growing in the knowledge of their Lord Jesus Christ. For those who need a helping hand, we are always there. The church members assist those who are in need and care for each other. We have a food bank and we distribute the food according to the individual’s needs. We provide advice and counseling to those who cannot read and write.
TO REACH THE GOAL OF OUR MISSION
As Christians, we should be aware that there is a war going on in the spiritual world concerning the souls of men. God has given mighty weapons, one of which is intercessory prayer. When this is done in one accord and in a spirit of love it is dynamic in its working. (Acts 1:14 - Acts 12:5-7).
Pastor Roger has baptized many new believers into the Kingdom of God, after they had heard the Word and believed in Jesus Christ.

Trustees' Report
During the past year of Covid 19 lockdown restrictions the church held all services online. All of these were all well viewed and supported. But we aim to revert back to all the church’s previous service routines as soon as possible as follows:
Weekly Sunday services are held between 10.30am – 1pm and are now live streamed on social media Facebook. Also, twice a month during the services the church holds a Sunday School for the children.
We serve food after our Sunday meetings twice a month and serve tea and coffee on alternate Sundays so that we can enjoy fellowship together.
Once out of lockdown the church will once again hold early evening Sunday services in the Bewbush Centre Crawley. This meeting follows the LVD Langley Green Crawley Sunday morning service.
The LVD Morden Sunday afternoon services are to continue in the main Morden Baptist church to accommodate the increasing numbers.
We will return to having a weekly prayer meeting every Thursday night from 6.30 to 8 pm.
The church will also reinstate the early morning prayer meetings twice a week from 6am - 7am.
On Monday mornings there will be an intercessors prayer meeting from 10am -12am.
All of our house group meetings have been put on hold since Covid 19 lockdown started but we plan to continue them all when safe to do so around Crawley, East Grinstead, Horsham and Redhill and also sometimes in Croydon - these were all fruitful with many new converts attending. In biblical times they had similar house meetings.
The women’s ministry meetings led by Pastor Josiane which were held in Langley Green on Tuesday mornings and in the Bewbush Centre on Friday mornings are being transmitted on Facebook. Both these meetings will start again by the power of The Holy Spirit as soon as we come out of lockdown.
We will also have youth meetings again as we believe that a teenager well grounded in the word of God will be a blessing wherever he goes. We have wonderful testimonies of how God has graced these teenagers and how they are prospering in life.
We plan to also return to having two monthly outreaches in Crawley town and in Bewbush and plan to have another in Croydon town centre. All of these will have worship, preaching and healing.
At the beginning of April 2014, the Lord gracefully opened the door for us to take the lease of St Leonard’s Church Langley Green which had become available due to the poor condition of the church building and the cost involved in putting it right. Our church took on the lease including hiring out St Leonard’s Hall which we had been renting for the previous six years. Since holding our services in the bigger premises the congregation has continued to expand and the church is almost full.

Trustees' Report
In February 2013, Pastor Roger launched our bible training school. The purpose of the school is to prepare men and women to serve the Lord and this will start once again as soon as possible.
The DVD and CD ministry will bring the good news of Jesus Christ into homes.
We plan to open more churches in the future. We have an assignment from Almighty God to bring as many souls as possible into his Kingdom and we rely wholly on the anointing of his Spirit to carry out this ministry (Philippians 4:13). We have the strength for all things in Christ who empowers us.
OUR MISSION ABROAD
The Voice of Deliverance Church UK orphanage in Madagascar, has been registered in the Full Gospel Church of God’s Voice of Deliverance name. We are supporting the orphanage financially with our mission outreach and members of the LVD UK church are sponsoring 16 children who live in the orphanage.
Financial review
Income for the year was £94,464 (2020 - £93,275) and expenditure £48,014 (2020 - £65,688). The surplus of £46,450 (2020 - £28,135) is added to funds brought forward and amounts to £159,170 (2020 - £112,720) at the year end.
Policy on reserves
The trustees aim to meet the needs of the church by retaining funds sufficient for at least two months operations. At present reserves are well above this figure.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Trustees' Report
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
