TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

for the fiscal year 6[th] April 2024 to 5th[th] April 2025

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, and Publicity and development officer along with various leaders of our activities and projects ensure the operation of the organisation. The trustees have the responsibility of collaborating 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 that of the trustees, though 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.

The Commissions guidance on public benefit of charities for the advancement of religion is a consideration 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:

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 in the form of donations from individuals supporting our ministry and organisations who have sought our services.

The contribution made by our volunteers undergirds 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 continued to develop and diversify during the year. A particular emphasis this year was teaching and training on “Interpreting Global events in the light of Scripture” and how the body of believers are to respond in faith, love, and service, asking the question “What does God want us to do?”

All meetings and training sessions this year continued as ‘hybrid meetings’… conducted in person in London, UK, and Pensacola USA and through video conferencing linking the meetings and individuals on both continents. Our directors were pioneers of hybrid video conferencing and in person meetings allowing revivalists in their various locations to participate fully in our meetings. This year we successfully expanded this to include telephone conferencing so someone with only telephone can share in all our sessions. The purchase of equipment enabling this expansion will show in our finances under “Tech” for this and the following year.

The development and running of our teaching and training programs online continues to require us to employ professional assistance in using these digital resources. We are adapting to whatever media our revivalists find of help to enable effective communication though our venturing into social media is still in its infancy and would require an increase in personnel and finance and at the same time we are being cautious so as to avoid the many pitfalls.

Worship & Prayer

Our team of Revivalists in London along with our directors of ministries 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. Particularly this year we have focused on the persecution of Christians and Jews, the Middle East, Ukraine, and the changing social and political scene in Europe and of course Revival.

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 ministered to 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 developing of joint 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 soon we hope to have an “in person” conference in UK & USA.

Those who over the years have gone out from this ministry and are touching lives in various parts of the world are an encouragement and a challenge for us. We seek to maintain a network of revivalists for mutual support to enable the continued sharing of the Good News at home and abroad. It is all about people, our most valuable resource. We are taking up the challenge to enable our revivalists to speak up at a time when elements of society are seeking to silence the Christian voice.

We remain convinced that competition in Christian service is not only a needless waste of resources, but it has no place in the Christian culture 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. This year we committed to be there particularly for our affiliates in Israel and to do all we could to support their work which had become even more challenging in the light of October 7[th] .

Support Network & Resource Sharing

Our worldwide support network for Revivalists continues to provide support and a point of contact for revivalists. The sharing of news from around the world is itself a resource and is a safeguard from reacting to inaccurate reporting in the media and enables the right prayer and support. We have expanded 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 an increasing number of our resources are now digital and shared over the internet. Our multimedia, though non-digital resource facility in London (educational & inspirational books, audio & video recordings) is open at limited times, but we see a need in this electronic digitally dependant age to maintain good physical resources (Books and non-internet dependant resources). Taking this dual approach, we believe we can provide the best resources for any situation.
