‘

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" 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. e Advance the Christian faith in relation to said statement of beliefs. e Torelieve 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: e Teaching and training programs. , — e Gatherings for worship and prayer in all localities where our volunteers are based and linking these gatherings internationally via the internet.
e Provision of local and publicly accessible facilities for our pastoral care, prayer, and counselling ministry. ,
e Missionary outreach and the preaching ministry. e Asupport 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. This finance comes mainly in the form of donations from individuals though since 2020 we have increasingly received donations from other organisations who have sought our services.

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. Particularly emphasis this year was teaching and training on “Biblical Discipleship” and how the body of believers are to grow in faith, love and service, asking the question “What lives ought we to live in the light of what is, and is to come?”

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 allowing revivalists in their various locations to participate in our meetings. This year we successfully expanded this to include telephone conferencing so someone with only telephone can share in all our services

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 te what our revivalists say will be of help to them and adapting programs to meet the need. = realised this year that further expansion on social media is going to require increase in personne! and finance and have made this a future aim.

Worship & Prayer

Our team of Revivalists in London aiong 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 & Telephone conferencing increased numbers can now benefit from these unique meetings via the internet. We are pleased to see the growth of our revivalists as they partake in leadership and service, also in the use of modern technology to promote the gospel.

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 own “weekly prayer call” via video and telephone conferencing joins people from across nations in prayer. One of our focuses this year has been the middle East after the October 7" attack in Israel.

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. This ministry is available in Pensacola, USA, and Edmonton, UK., where people are seen in our ministry rooms by appointment. This ministry is 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 are continually looking for opportunities to participate in local care projects 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 developingofjoint meetings. Our online programs and projects and our joint website further our common goal of Revival. There has not been any international travel by directors or volunteers since C19 though in the near future we hope to have an “in person” conference in UK & USA. Our network of revivalists working in other parts of the world are a constant reminder that our most valuable resource is people. Many whe 22 gone out from us continue to touch the lives of other people wherever they go locally, mztiv<2iiy and in the nations sharing the Good News with them. . . . We remain convinced that competition is not e*/y 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 athers 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 & realityof Jesus. We have committed ourselves to be there for our affiliates in Israel and do all we can to support their work in the light of October 7". . .

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 for someone who can assist in digital video production to increase the number of videos on our social media platforms in the coming years.
