TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2024
The trustees are pleased to present their report for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 for the charity, Moment of Truth Ministries with charity number 1130838.
The Trustees of the charity are: Rev Samson Jebutu
The principal address of the charity is : PO Box 4471 Dunstable LU6 9NB
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity governing document is a declaration of trust that was executed 17[TH] March 2009.The Charity is governed by a board on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Objects of the organisation are first to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs for the benefit in the United Kingdom and in such other parts of the world as the trustees may think fit from time to time. The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
ACHIEVMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Organisation continues to hold weekly Sunday services throughout the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith. The organisation continues to hold its annual bible training conferences in August in which individuals came from all around the country to attend. During these conferences the organisation also covered the costs of accommodation for some of these delegates that attended. These conferences are proving more successful as more people are attending the meetings and clearly benefiting from them. This year increased its online presence significantly and reached out to even a greater number of people within the community.

This proved to be a tremendous success as many were encouraged about the Christian message. Regular evangelistic outreach was also held regularly in the local community as well as weekly bible studies which streamed live online to the public every week. There was counselling service that was provided by the organisation for the community and those who were in need were supported with material resources.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The income of the charity is above £117,000. This is a good amount for this year of the charity the costs have been well managed over this period. The organisation is still in a good position to manage its costs.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The church intends to continue to host its conferences in UK. It plans to continue to host its television and radio programmes in the city. The intended re-appointment of our present independent examiner at the upcoming trustee meeting is expected to support the financial operations by making it more effective.
RESERVE POLICY
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the reserves of the charity at about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure .This provides sufficient funds to cover any emergency expenditures that may arise from time to time. The charity will seek to maintain this level throughout the year.

Independent Examiner’s Report To the Trustees MOMENT OF TRUTH MINISTRIES
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31[st ] March 2024 set out on the following pages which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies shown in the corresponding pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees of the church are responsible for the preparation of accounts: they consider that the audit requirement under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act),does not apply. It is my responsibility to :
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept( in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act: or
-
(2) to which , in my opinion , attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
