TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

A. Reference & Administration Details

Charity Name: Emmanuel Revival Ministries Registered Charity Number: 1133577 Registered Office Address: 32 Cornwallis Grove Edmonton London N9 0JS Email: erministries@btinternet.com Website: ERministries.net

B. Structure, Governance & Management

Trustees:

Mrs Amanda Taylor Mr Claude Cover Mr Michael Eke (Chair of Trustees) Mr Robert Douglas

The organisation operates under the Trust Deed of the Charity signed on 26[th] April 2009 and registered by the Charities Commission on 19[th] January 2010.

Trustees are appointed by the trustees meeting in accordance with trusts deed and oversee the operation of the charity with the assistance of the Directors of ministries. At present there are four trustees who with the assistance of the Directors of ministries, Secretary, Treasurer, Publicity, and development officer as well as various leaders of our activities and projects ensure the operation of the organisation. The trustees have the responsibility of working with the directors of ministries in furthering the work of the charity in fulfilling its stated purpose at home and abroad. Certain powers of the trustees have been delegated to ensure the practical operation of the charity. On a day-to-day basis the supervising of activities falls to the directors of ministries who consult with the trustees.

Trustees’ meetings are quarterly and assess the direction of the ministry, review finances and make any necessary decisions and appointments to further the work. The trustees appoint a chair of its meetings and ‘The Chair’ ensures that the correct quorum is maintained. If additional trustees are required, the meeting seeks to fulfil the position/s ensuring that those appointed will support the vision of the Ministry and will be able to help fulfil its objectives. The ultimate decision in the recruitment of new trustees is left with the trustees but they look to the directors of the ministry for recommendation of suitable persons.

Aim and Purpose:

The aim of our work is to promote and enable the advancement and revival of the Christian faith by equipping people with training, resources, support, and inspiration to do the works of service.

We consider people our most valuable resource and we provide an opportunity for volunteers (revivalists) to grow and develop spiritually in a safe environment and at the same time do valuable service.

C. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objective of the charity (as set out in the Trust Deed; 26[th] April 2009): To advance Christianity in London, UK, and other parts of the world as the trustees decide by any means or medium that is or may become available, in accordance with the statement of doctrine set out in the schedule of the Trust Deed dated 26th April 2009.

Advance the Christian faith in relation to said statement of beliefs.
To relieve sickness and financial hardship (through various means set out in the trust deed document).

The Commissions guidance on public benefit of charities for the advancement of religion is considered in the preparation of our activities. We seek to enable people in varying situations to live out their faith with relevance in what we perceive as a rapidly changing world with increasingly diverse communities. Our activities Include:

Teaching and training programs.
Gatherings for worship and prayer in all localities where our volunteers are based and linking these gatherings internationally via the internet.
Provision of local and publicly accessible facilities for our pastoral care, prayer, and counselling ministry.
Missionary outreach and the preaching ministry.
A support network for revivalists who move away from our areas of operation to enable and encourage their continued service.

To meet the above and equip our volunteers we engage the professional services of key personnel as directors of our ministries who are teachers, trainers, preachers, counsellors, consultants, and administrators; we maintain an office, ministry room and equipment; and we provide necessary material supplies and resources for activities. For this to happen, we of necessity have a further objective, that of maintaining a sufficient level of finance that will provide everything we need for our activities.

The contribution made by our volunteers undergirds many of our activities and we are continually looking for those who share our vision and are prepared to give of their time and abilities to serve with us. We take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all who give so freely to see this work continue particularly during these challenging times.

D. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Teaching & Training

Our teaching/training programs by revivalists and our directors of ministries continued to develop and diversify. Particularl emphasis this year was teaching and training on Biblical teaching of the “the last Days” and how the body of believers are to be active until the coming of the Lord, asking the question “How should we be socially, politically and economically involved as we advance with the Gospel?”

All meetings and training sessions this year continued as ‘hybrid meetings’ conducted in person in Edmonton, UK, and Pensacola USA and through video conferencing linking the meetings and individuals on both continents. Our directors pioneered the hybrid of video conferencing and in person meetings long before it became “a thing” during the Covid-19 pandemic. This way of operating allows revivalists to continue the work in their various locations and to participate in our meetings. ERM directors continue to be consulted in the setting up the hybrid system for other groups and are looking to expand this to include telephone conferencing in 2023.

The development of our teaching and training programs utilizing online media has required us to employ professional assistance to develop our online presence and build our digital resources. We are listening carefully to what our revivalists say will be of help to them and adapting programs to meet the need.

Worship & Prayer

Our team of Revivalists in London along with our directors of ministries continue to lead weekly worship services and midweek meetings which are open to all people. These meetings are now available worldwide and participants can join through video conferencing. Greater numbers can now benefit from these unique meetings via the internet. Our revivalists benefit too as they grow in their leadership, service, and knowledge of using modern technology.

Our network of 'Revival fellowships' span the continents. Our fellowships are open to Christians of all denominations and none and to those who are seeking a relationship with God. We encourage a diversity of approaches in differing locations as we seek to effectively meet the needs of the participants and the communities in which they are set. Revivalists trained by our program participate in leadership with a team leadership style based on the 5-fold ministry principle.

We exist to see the revival of the Christian Church and in prayer will always be seeking God for revival, but our prayer focus is much wider than any church. Our gatherings for intercessory prayer have focussed on praying for the spiritual, political, economic, and social issues of the nations as well as the local communities in which we are actively involved and individuals who are in need. We continue to be involved in national and international calls for prayer. Our prayer gatherings moved to being ‘online’ in March 2020 and have remained so since with individuals and families joining from their homes. The decision to keep it this way for now was made after consultation with the participants.

Care, Prayer & Counselling

During the year, our directors and revivalists continued ministering to individuals, couples and families with life issues, needs or faith questions and provide prayer counselling, healing ministry and practical help where possible. Health, healing, and employment continue to be prominent issues as does fear and the future. Our ministry rooms in Pensacola, USA, and Edmonton, UK., were operating during the year with people being seen by appointment. This ministry was also available through video conferencing and by telephone. Demand for this care, prayer and counselling service remains high and our teams continue to help as many people as possible. We have been looking during the year as to how best to seek to provide for individuals physical needs in our various locations.

Missionary outreach and preaching.

The ties between the work at home and that of our USA counterpart has never been stronger thanks to the integration of our online activity and developing of joint meetings. Our online programs and projects and our joint website further our common goal of Revival. Though international travel has opened exchanges remain shelved for the time being.

With the news we receive from our network of revivalists working in other parts of the world comes a constant reminder that our most valuable resource is people, our revivalist teams collaborating with our directors of ministries in leading, preaching, teaching, and enabling. It is people who touch the lives of other people locally, nationally and in the nations sharing the Good News with them.

We remain convinced that competition is not only a needless waste of resources, but it has no place in a Christian work of service therefore, in our outreach we seek to partner with others doing similar work that share the Revival vision. We continue to maintain and develop our relationships with our worldwide affiliates from Israel to Africa – India to the USA, looking to develop and support projects at home and abroad that demonstrate the Love & reality of Jesus.

Support Network & Resource Sharing

Our worldwide support network for Revivalists, the ‘Revival Partnership Program’ continues to be a welcome support to revivalists and the sharing of news from around the world is a challenge and encouragement to all. We are expanding ERM groups on social media to widen and enable the accurate and immediate sharing of news, and prayer requests.

Use of the internet has enhanced resource sharing and some of our resources are now digital and shared over the internet. Our multimedia resource facility in London (educational & inspirational books, audio & video recordings) is open at limited times thus the exchange of digital material and resources via the internet increases in importance. We are looking to convert more of our resources, particularly videos into digital files in the coming years.

E. FINANCIAL REVIEW
