Objectives and Activities
Liverpool Prayer Fellowship is a full gospel Christian Missionary Church, preciously holding the Pentecostal faith. The purpose of The Liverpool Prayer Fellowship is to give every man, woman and child the opportunity to understand the gospel and to provide an environment where they can develop, grow and to be a useful vessel for the glory of God.
Achievements
In the year 2022 our Charitable activities were limited due to the aim of purchasing our own building to perform all the activities on a regular basis. In the midst this, LPF still managed provide an amount of £1250 for Funeral support to families in the UK.
After 3 years of lockdown (due to covid), in 2022 March 5th our church was able to conduct youth anniversary for Sunday School students attended by other from the community.
A family conference led by Dr V J Samkutty · Vice-Principal (Academic) at All Nations Christian College. It was a blessing to share views, discussions and debates to everyone. We discussed the problems that happen nowadays with all families joining in. This was a great blessing to the many people who came and was held at Lifestream Church in Prescot, Merseyside.
A youth seminar (for children 11 and above) was also conducted on the 26th of November at Lifestream church in Prescot lead by Rev Blessen Mathew, Executive Pastor at New Life Church, Derby. The youth had an opportunity to share their ideas of challenges faced by young children, and the practical solutions shown in a biblical way.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
Independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
