TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO REACH THE GOAL OF OUR MISSION
We as Christians should be aware that there is a war going on in the spiritual world about the souls of men. God has given mighty weapons, one of which is Intercessory Prayer. Intercessory Prayer done in one accord and in a spirit of love is dynamic in its working. (Acts 1/14 - - Acts 12/5-7). Pastor Roger has baptized many souls into the Kingdom Of God; they had to hear the word to believe in Jesus Christ.
Weekly Sunday services are held between 10.00am – 1pm at Langley Green and are now live streamed on social media Facebook. The church has a Sunday School for the children every week during the Sunday services. We also serve tea and coffee after our Sunday services so that we can enjoy fellowship together.
We hold early evening Sunday services in the Bewbush Centre in Crawley 4-6pm. These Sunday meetings have worship, preaching and healing services - the same as our morning Langley Green Church services.
The church also hold weekly Sunday afternoon church services in Purley, held in St Swithuns Church Hall This church replaces our previous Morden Church which we had to terminate due to the Morden Baptist church hall closure.
The weekly prayer meeting is held every Thursday evening from 6.30pm - 8pm.
The church now hold our early morning prayer via Zoom meetings three times a week from 6am – 7am.
On Monday mornings we hold intercessors prayer meeting from 10am -12am
All of our house group meetings around Crawley, Horsham and also sometimes in Croydon – are all fruitful with many new converts attending. In biblical times they had similar house meetings.
In Eastbourne, we have started a Church House in May 2025 and are meeting on a Friday afternoon from 5 -7 pm twice a month.
We have women’s ministry meetings led by Pastor Josiane which are held in Langley Green on Tuesday mornings and in the Bewbush Centre on Friday mornings and these are both very fruitful.
We 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 have outreach meetings in various locations around Crawley and on occasion in Croydon.
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 6 years. Since holding our services in the bigger premises the congregation has continued to expand and the church is almost full.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
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. The school is open twice a week on a Wednesday morning and Wednesday evening. We plan to open more churches in the future. We have an assignment from Almighty God to bring as many souls into His Kingdom and we rely wholly on the Anointing of His Spirit to do the 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 has now concluded our sponsorship of the orphanage in Madagascar.
Our new Madagascar mission is working with our representative Pastor Tahiana Rabemantsia who has been released to work with us from the Christ Warrior Church Madagascar and, on occasion with , Pastor Ashvin Ramiah who is now leader of Goodlands LVD Church in Mauritius. Pastor Ashvin helped lay the foundations of our new mission when he was working in Madagascar. We started weekly church meetings in a hired hall preaching the word of God this new church continues to grow enormously and have saved many souls who are being baptised. We also hold a mid-weekly home yard church meeting which is attended by a great number of people including many children and widows wanting to hear the preaching of the Christian faith and the good news of Christ. We give food and clothes and also supplies and resources for repairing their homes and their roofs after cyclones damaged them. We are also providing tools for working to help them become self sufficient and get an income.
It became clear that, during the cold and wet of the winter months, the yard could not offer the people shelter so we sent money over with our UK church mission visitor. This money was to pay for the building of an extension to the back of the house in order for the people to have shelter whilst listening to the preaching during the cold months.
We also help the two children of the family who has made their home available to us for our weekly local community home yard church by providing the children with support for their schooling from our mission outreach fund.
The LVD uk Mission, along with members of other churches in Mauritius, started a new mission outreach in Mauritius called ‘The House of Dorcas’ and this will support the very poor and needy people in Mauritius and Madagascar.
Financial review
Income for the year amounted to £124,376 (2024 - £134,209) and expenditure £100,223 (2024 - £85,891). The surplus was added to funds brought forward, with unrestricted funds being £244,377 at year end.

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.
Statement of 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, 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.
