The Trust was registered as a UK Charity on 13 November 2009 with Registration No. 1132707 The Objectives of the Trust are (a) to advance the Christian faith, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, for the public good, primarily but not exclusively, by means of the facilitation of collaborative work between existing mission agencies and movements. (b) to advance the Christian faith, in any country, for the public good, primarily but not exclusively, by means of supporting and resourcing new charitable movements and agencies of Christian mission. The Faith to Share Trust has been established for the primary purpose of supporting and facilitating the work of the international Faith2Share Network of mission agencies. The Faith2Share Network traces its origin to a meeting of six mission agencies in London in May 2000. The network was more formally constituted in 2004 when it gained the name Faith2Share and adopted a draft statement of Purpose, Ethos, Principles and Values. ## **VISION** Our **vision** is to see faith changing lives all over the world. ## **MISSION** Our **mission** is to enable effective collaborations between mission movements and leaders – working together globally to share faith and change lives. ## **PRIORITIES** **We prioritise** working together with _mission movements_ from the global north and south who particularly demonstrate an intention of working together. **We focus** our support to _mission leaders_ , creating new opportunities for them to connect, learn and grow in leadership. **We enable** _effective collaborations_ between organisations, focusing on key mission issues and opportunities, and demonstrating what working together can achieve. **We impact** the lives of people across many different cultures, developing _global Christian discipleship_ , leadership and faith for a changing world. ## **VALUES** Our core values are **relational** and based on **sharing faith together** . ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT** Faith2Share member agencies, and the network itself, seek to bring benefit to the public in all the regions and countries in which we work by equipping individuals and whole communities to live in a way that reflects the Christian faith and its focus on generous love. We seek to work in a positive way alongside and with communities of different faiths and philosophies whilst sharing openly the faith in God which guides our work. We believe our work transforms communities in ways that enhance human life (through education, medical care, development, etc.), protect the natural environment and build societies of respect, tolerance, peace and spiritual health. ``` 4 ``` ## **GOVERNANCE** The governance of Faith2Share is provided by the Faith2Share trustees appointed in accordance with the Declaration of Trust.

Trustees met on four occasions during 2022-2023 by Zoom. ## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** The trustees are responsible for ensuring the trustees’ report and the financial statements are prepared for each financial year, in accordance with English law and regulations, and UK accounting standards. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies, as described in the Statement of Accounts and then apply them consistently; - make judgments 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 a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with relevant law and regulations. 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. During the year trustees have reviewed all Faith2Share ``` 5 ``` policies including Safeguarding, Risk Management, all Financial Management policies and employment policies. ## **MANAGEMENT** The corporate activities of _Faith2Share_ are managed by a small staff team based in Oxford, UK, Bangalore, India and led by the International Director based in The Netherlands. The current staff are : International Director **Mr. Jan Wessels** Associate International Director **Mr. Anton Ponomarev** Asia Regional Coordinator (p/t) **Mr. Vijay Isaac** Administrator (Volunteer) **Mrs Nicki Stevens** ``` 6 ``` ## **REPORT ON ACTIVITIES 2022-23** ## **IMPACT STATEMENT** In 2022 Faith2Share has worked with over 130 church and mission leaders and organised prayer meetings, consultations and training events online and taking place in-person in Austria, Uganda and Pakistan. Although international travel has become possible again after Covid restrictions have been mostly lifted, we have continued with the majority of our activities online whenever possible and have made a decision to postpone large scale international events until 2023-24, as the cost of living crisis and increased costs of international travel are a major hindrance for a large number of mission leaders, especially in the Global South. ## _**Leadership**_ The core activities of Faith2Share focus on growing and supporting effective indigenous leaders for mission movements around the world. The year 2022 has shown us once again how important it is to stay relevant as a network by equipping, resourcing and encouraging mission leaders as well as discussing together what the future of mission could look like in the post-pandemic world. In particular we seek to encourage women and younger mission leaders. Our flagship resource is a **Leadership Briefing** which is now received by over 850 leaders in around 55 different countries. This monthly production points leaders to a wide range of resources appropriate to their work and challenges them to build collaborations for effective mission. On a daily basis, and at our major events, our small staff team works with leaders in four different ways as outlined below. ## **Accompany** The methodology of choice for Jesus as he prepared leaders for the church was to ‘walk with them’, to accompany them on their way through life and ministry. Faith2Share, as a network (not just staff) spends a lot of time ‘walking with’ leaders, sometimes offering advice or acting as a sounding board, and sometimes just being there to listen, appreciate and encourage. In 2022 we put a lot of work into making sure that mission and church leaders have this opportunity to stay connected with each other, to learn from the best practices around the world. This work is not only carried out by staff when we can travel and visit people but also by senior leaders within the network. Much more regularly this accompaniment takes place by phone, email, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WhatsApp, etc. and can ``` 7 ``` involve anything from an urgent request for prayer, to advice regarding a personnel issue or help with locating a specific tool for mission. ## **Mentor** The mentoring relationship is a more formal aspect of accompaniment. During the year staff and senior leaders within the network have been involved in mentoring a number of leaders, mostly from emerging mission movements. Several of our leaders give a priority to mentoring younger leaders within their own movements and, with the encouragement of Faith2Share, this is now happening across the network. Faith2Share has an ambition to develop a more formal mentoring process when we are in a position to resource this. ## **Consult** The consultation we offer to leaders happens at many levels and is designed to help them respond to the changing mission context in which they find themselves. Following a Discipleship visioncasting consultation in November 2021 in Pakistan we were able to plan, organise and hold a full 3-day Whole-Life Discipleship consultation in Lahore 15 – 17 November 2022 with over 60 church and mission leaders attending this event. Faith2Share staff was also key in helping to plan, organise and run a Lausanne-Orthodox Initiative (LOI) consultation on Scripture engagement in Salzburg, Austria in June 2022. ## **Resource** Faith2Share continues to offer to over 800 mission leaders its expertise in identifying and generating appropriate and contextualised resources to equip them to take forward their mission work. During 2022-23 we made a limited number of small grants to emerging mission movements, especially to those who were particularly affected by the cost of living crisis but, not being a grant making trust, our normal mode of assistance is through researching sources of resourcing – not just financial. The regular Faith2Share Leadership Briefing provides access to a wide range of new resources and others are researched on a bespoke basis. A major challenge continues to be the under-resourcing of Global South mission made worse by the cost of living crisis. ``` 8 ``` ## _**Discipleship**_ A focus on Christian discipleship continues to be the defining characteristic which brings our member movements together and each has been active in making disciples of Jesus Christ in their own context. For some, like Friends Missionary Prayer Band working mostly in rural India, this has involved tens to hundreds of new disciples being brought into the church and equipped for Christian living during the past year, whereas for others, like PMI (working in North Africa) or Church Mission Society (in their Pioneer Ministry work in Britain or establishing mission hubs elsewhere) the work is much slower and involves costly witness. ## **Whole-life Discipleship** Faith2Share has continued its focus this year on “whole-life” discipleship – training our member movements to equip those who choose to follow Jesus, to do so in every area of their life, in family relations, in their employment and use of money, and as they seek to transform the communities in which they live. Following a hybrid “tester” Discipleship vision-casting consultation in Pakistan in November 2021 we were able to organize and hold a full in-person Whole-Life Discipleship consultation in Pakistan 15 – 17 November 2022 (please see above) where also other Asian leaders of Faith2Share members were able to attend. Our Whole-Life Discipleship curriculum was also used as part of a training in Cote d’Ivoire where a local pastor has trained 24 students and approached Faith2Share to have access to our discipleship materials in French. We were particularly excited about this development as we have never had any work in that part of West Africa and there is a significant lack of training materials available in French for local church leaders and even theological colleges. ``` 9 ``` ## _**Collaboration**_ No mission movement is invited to join the Faith2Share network unless there is a clear commitment to active collaboration in mission. We have therefore been pleased to see, over the past three years, a closer collaboration between our member agencies in many areas of the world. In 2022 the main challenge of fostering collaboration was still the limit on meeting people physically but we continued to foster the spirit of sharing and mission collaboration through a series of regular Zoom events, as well as participating in the online meetings organised by other networks and organisations. ## **Wider Networks** One of the services which Faith2Share provides for its members is regular collaboration with wider mission networks. Our Associate International Director, Anton Ponomarev, is an Associate of IPA (International Partnering Associates) and represents us at Vision Synergy. The International Director Jan Wessels has now started a new role with the European Evangelical Alliance (EEA) as General Secretary (since October 2022) which has brought a large number of contacts, especially with the European Ecumenical Missions Council (EEMC) and EEA in Europe. Regular contact has also been maintained with IMA (India) and MANI (Africa) as well as with our sister network Micah Global, and also with WEA Mission Commission where our International Director is a member of the Global Leadership Council. ## **CMS Mission Network** In the course of the year _Faith2Share_ continued to facilitate the CMS Mission Network which now has seven member movements and has seen an increased level of intentional working together. The highlight of the year was a mostly in-person meeting in Kampala, Uganda in October 2022 which _Faith2Share_ facilitated. ## **Lausanne-Orthodox Initiative** Although Faith2Share handed over the facilitation of the Lausanne-Orthodox Initiative in 2016 the Associate International Director continues to serve on its board. He was involved in the planning and running of the LOI consultation in Austria in June 2022, focussed on Scripture engagement, and attended a number of LOI Board meetings and events delivered online as well as in person. ``` 10 ``` ## **Consultants** _Faith2Share_ has continued to provide financial administration for two consultants with whom we have a long-standing relationship. During the year they have undertaken consultancy work for SAT7, Mahabba International (one of our members), Anglican Communion Office, Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, Oxford Centre for Christian Muslim Studies and several other mission agencies. ## _**Emerging Mission Movements**_ As a network Faith2Share retains a strong commitment to supporting the emergence and development of new mission movements around the world. We supported the emergence of a new missional entity in Latin America and also provided a small number of mission grants, in Kenya and Pakistan. ## **Building organizational sustainability and resilience** Faith2Share continues to operate supported by a small staff team with decreased capacity. Our International Director, Jan Wessels, has been working for Faith2Share only part-time (50%), and has started a new position with European Evangelical Alliance since October 2022. Our Associate International Director, Anton Ponomarev, continues to be seconded to another Oxford-based charity for one day a week on a paid basis. We are planning to recruit a new person to act as our Africa Coordinator in the near future (to be based in Africa). ``` 11 ``` ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** The trustees have in 2020 reviewed the reserves of the charity. Their policy is to hold enough funds to meet four months’ operating costs of the charity. At year end the unrestricted cash and investments balance was £79,211. The trustees deem £15,000 to be the minimum cash balance to meet four months operating costs, after the International Director has been working part-time (0.5Fte since July 1, 2021) and the Associate International Director is seconded to the Centre for Muslim Christian Studies in Oxford (effectively working 0.8Fte for Faith2Share). The reserves policy is reviewed on an annual basis. ## **Principal funding sources** The charity’s main source of income are membership fees, donations, trusts and foundations and consultancy. The charity’s total income decreased by 11% to £101,783 (2021/22: £112,879) compared to the previous year. This moderate decrease provides firm basis for continuing the work of the charity in the coming months. Income from member movements decreased slightly to £12,815 (2021/22: £13,543). Tax effective individual donations decreased by 25% to £19,806 (2021/22: £26,373) and non-tax effective individual donations decreased significantly to £7,796 (2021/22: £11,907). Income from trusts increased significantly to £17,323 (2021/22: £12,430) – mostly due to the timing issue of donations received. Except for the funds raised specifically for the work of two consultants the level of restricted funds received by Faith2Share remains healthily low which ensures that we have maximum flexibility in applying funds where they are most needed within the network. ## **Investment policy and objectives** The trustees have approved the use of the COIF Charities Investment Fund, whose investments are mainly in equities and follows an ethical investment policy. Other cash reserves are held in bank current and deposit accounts. In a challenging investment market our COIF investment has seen a capital deficit of £422 during the year (2021-22: gain of £1,869) ## **Ongoing Concern** The Trustees have considered the financial strength of the charity, bearing in mind the exceptional pandemic circumstances which have affected its operations during the past two years. Significant cost reductions have already been achieved, and the Trustees have confidence that a satisfactory level of income will continue to arrive. Comparing with the financial situation that the charity was facing in 2020, the Trustees deem the financial position of the charity as stable, although this needs careful monitoring once we can re-start our programmes, international travel and rebuilding our organisational capacity by employing a Communications person. ``` 12 ``` ## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIOD** ## **Strategic Direction** The Trustees together with the International Director and other major stakeholders have been given an opportunity to review and revise the strategic direction of Faith2Share but as a network of participating agencies the broad direction will continue to be determined by the vision, needs and aspirations of network members. This is likely to ensure a continued focus on the current vision (see ‘Clear Vision’ below). ## **Programmatic Plans** Faith2Share has made a commitment to continue working on Whole-Life Discipleship with its member agencies and in collaboration with the other churches where possible. For 2023 we are committed to do the evaluation of the 2022 Pakistan Whole-Life consultation together with local leaders and explore ways to do the follow-up to this training in the near future. Faith2Share is also committed to continue with the Emerging Mission Programme, focusing especially on under-resourced areas of the world and providing support to our partners there, especially focusing on post-pandemic relief and leadership development. ## **CLEAR VISION** Through regular meetings with trustees, and dedicated staff ‘away days’ we continue to clarify the core commitments and areas of work for _Faith2Share_ as a network. In communication terms we now regularly use the four simple ‘words’ (which have provided the structure for this report) to describe our mission. They are: ## **LEADERSHIP** **LEADERSHIP** Accompanying, Mentoring, Consulting and Resourcing _(The core activity of the network)_ **DISCIPLESHIP** Following Jesus in every aspect of our lives _(The core objective of all our members)_ **COLLABORATION** Doing mission together whenever and however we can _(The core ethos of the network)_ **EMERGING MISSION** Encouraging and supporting new movements of God’s mission _(The core vision for our life together)_ We give thanks to God for his faithfulness and the opportunities afforded to us during 2020-21 to participate in His mission.

Robert Wilkes, Chair of Trustees ``` 15 ``` **Notes to the Financial Statements** Year ending 31 January 2023 ## **1. Principal accounting policies** ## **(a) Basis of preparation** The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are carried at current market value where available. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015). The accounting policies which have been consistently applied throughout the year are set out below: ## **(b) Funds structure** All funds raised by Faith2Share are used in furtherance of its charitable objectives. **Restricted** funds are raised on the basis of an agreement or understanding with the donors that their use will be restricted to certain specific projects or activities within the scope of the stated charitable purposes of Faith2Share. These restricted funds are accounted for separately. **Designated** funds are reservations for continuity and UK Staff Support during the pandemic. **Unrestricted** funds are spent at the discretion of Faith2Share’s trustees for use on any of the charity’s general charitable purposes. With the consent of the relevant donors, tax recovered through Gift Aid is generally treated as unrestricted. - **(c) Foreign currencies** Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. - **(d) Incoming resources** Donations and gift aid are recognised in the financial statements when Faith2Share believes it is entitled to them, the income is judged virtually certain of receipt and the amount can be reliably quantified. Incoming resources from grants, where there are performance or service deliverables required by the terms of grant, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to payment through its performance. ## **(e) Resources expended** All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. Cost of Sales comprise those activities outlined under ‘Purpose’ and ‘Objectives’ at the beginning of the Annual Report. Fundraising activities are the costs of generating donations and the transactional costs incurred. Administrative costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. The costs included in this category relate to organisational administration and compliance. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it is incurred. ## **(f) Investments and investment income** Investments in equity funds are included at their open market value at the balance sheet date. All gains and losses on investments are taken to the Income and Expenditure Statement. **2. Statement of movement of Restricted Funds 2022-23** **----- Start of picture text -----**

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act); - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - to 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 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 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 and audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent Examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
