1.19 | Trustees and Members (Church Elders) of the charity have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The review of activities below reflects how we have implemented this through a range of activities, which we consider to be in line with both this guidance and our objectives Worship and Prayer The Church (JLWC) with its three congregation (East Grinstead, Brighton, and Eastbourne) continued its mission of evangelising people and gathering its members through fellowship on regular Sunday services at each respective rented hall (run by the Jubilee Community Centre at East Grinstead.) The Sunday Christian services are aimed at encouraging, supporting, lifting, and nurturing the spiritual lives of its members. In turn, each individual member of the church is encouraged to invite their friends to become part of the Christian community. Every Monday evening, the church joins other church branches globally to be one in spirit as it gathers its members for prayer intercessory evening. The prayer intercessors gather all prayer requests and petitions received by the church on Sunday services and home visits and lift them all up in prayer. |
Bible study / Cell groups were added this year to accommodate some members who may have missed the Sunday service due to work commitments. Other ministries, like Women of Faith, Men’s Ministry and Youth and Kids Ministries were set up to cater the needs of its members. Digital platforms were used to reach out and fulfil the Church’s mission. All are welcomed to attend the church’s regular services. This year, 20 families and 50 new nurses added to the register, which brought the total numbers to 690 including children. Average attendance on regular services were 420, and on special occasions, can reach up to 690. However, towards the end of the year, some members were removed from the register after relocating to other areas. The church has continuously reached out to people to bring hope and strengthen their faith through: Worship and prayer, Teaching through discipleship Developing their relationship with Jesus Provision of pastoral care Outreach programmes Seminars and Conferences Webinar To enable all these, we hold on to the leading of the Holy Spirit and the truthful promises of God. Pastoral Care Bishop Norman Ponce, assisted by some elders of the church, regularly visits families and friends who wished to be prayed over for healing, spiritual care and counselling. Some visits were made for spiritual advice and before big decisions were made. They regularly attend to members who may be experiencing trying times in family relationships, job security, spiritual battles, or financial burdens.
Statement confirming Para 1.18 When planning our activities for the year, the whether the trustees have Trustees and Members (church Elders) of the had regard to the guidance charity have considered the Charity issued by the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the Commission on public specific guidance on charities for the benefit advancement of religion. The review of activities below reflects how we have implemented this through a range of activities, which we consider to be in line with both this guidance and our objectives.

Para 1.20 | Outreach Programs The church, whenever possible, extends material and financial support to families with immediate needs, to help them be tied over during difficult times. Throughout the year, fund-raising events like concerts, bric-a-brac, food sales, envelope appeals were made to raise funds for victims of natural calamities in the Philippines. It has also sustained help to the prison outreach ministry all year long through monthly regular giving. The Love God Love People outreach program this year extended financial help to Home for the Elderly in the Philippines. Church Leaderships Training and seminars were regularly conducted for leaders and ministry heads of the church. Regular meetings by the council of elders meant programs and plans were kept on track and improved upon.

The church has trialled this year gathering couples for 2-month long week-end seminars called Marriage Course. The church believes that a foundation of the family lies on the lifelong commitment of husbands and wives to each other, with God in their relationship. CHURCH ACTIVITIES The Church is continually looking for strategies to bring help not just to its members but also to the local town, the UK and internationally. This report reflects aspects of each of these three components. In each area of activity, the Trustees recognize, and are sincerely grateful for, the volunteers who contribute so much to all that happens in the life of the church.

Para 1.23 | Going concern The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. The trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis inpreparingits financial statements. |
