CHARIS
Achievements and erformance
We thank God for all that has been achieved this year through the partnership of Charis teams and
supporters in the UK, Mozambique, and Ethiopia. The focus has continued to be transforming lives and
communities by God's practical love and compassion in action amongst the poorest of the poor and the
preaching and teaching of God's Word among the poorly resourced. 2023-24 was a challenging year at
times with regard to needs outstripping available funds, but when we look back, we are amazed at God's
faithful provision, which made every act of kindness possible.
Mozambique
Crisls Help - Mozambique continues to be vulnerable to cyclones and tropical storms which can
bring devastation to the most vulnerable and it has been our privilege to provide much needed help
to some who have suffered loss and damage of their homes this year in cyclones Freddy and Filipe
in Vilanculos and Bandua.
34 houses were built + 10+ repaired.
Families in Need - Charis has reached out to many elderly and orphans this year with food kits
and provision of seeds and tools to 50 individuals for small farms.
16 Schoolkids were equipped with school uniforms and equipment.

Our prayer:
That God will provide for us abundantly so that we can reach out to many more displaced
younger orphans and vulnerable older people who have no one to care for them.
That God will grant us insight and forward vision as we meet together with Elizabeth in Adis
Ababa in May 2024.

Our Prayer..
God will open up more doors for us to share Charis, heart and be a voice for the voiceless.
God will lead us to more partners, who can support Charis in our work.
God will keep us all strong and healthy and protect us from all harm.
9 For this reason, since the day we heartl about you, we have not stopped praying foryou. We
continually ask God to flll you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding
that the Spirit gives,
[AI 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way."
bearing fruit in every good woth, growing in th8 knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all
power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,
and giving
joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified yodty to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the
kingdom of light. IJ For he has rescued us frDm the dominion of darkness and brought us into the
