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
the transformation of lives and communities by God's practical love and compassion in
ath.on amongst the economically poor and the sharing of God's word among the drfferent
generations. Following what we believed God communicated to us last year, 2024-2025 has
been a year of weparation, making space for God's new work rooted in national contexts.
Mozambique

school equipment.

Hatfield SA Worship Academy in January 2025.
Worshiplmusic school - 27 young students attended Orlando's start-up worship
school at Vilanculos Centre.

monthly food kits were provided for the most vulnerable. Charis has continued to
care for a number of individuals and children throughout the year providing
medicines, water, transport costs and much more.
Kids Clubs - 440 kids were regularly blessed with kids, clubs both in the town and in
the villages. We have witnessed a growth in their faith and passion for Jesus.
Registration of ACM (Associacao de Caridade de Mocambique) - National
Association - In July 2024, our ministry was legally recognized in Mozambique. This
recognttion is expected to open new doors and opportunities, strengthening our work
moving forward.
Life Centre- The registration of ACM opened the way to finally realise the vision of
the Life Centre, a place of prayer and worship, discipleship and worship/music
school. The building started in October 2024 and by March 2025 the structure is built,
and God willing the Centre will be completed by July 2025.
Bandua Outreach - Bandua continues to need practical aid. In 2024, many families
struggled due to drought, leading to hunger among families and the elderly. We
provided seeds and tools and started a new initiative in July to supply water pumps
for small family farms to ensure year-round food production.
Mel & Mandy Mission - Mel and Mandy were able to visit Mozambique twice this
year- Ma
-June/Jul
and October-November 2024. Their focus was team
encouragement through fellowship, prayer and bible training" overseeing of Charis,
various projects and ministries-they visited Bandua and were able to oversee the
start of the Water pump trial initiative and ACM farm. They visited people and villages
helped, as well as friends and partners and provided practical medical help and
preached in various villages and churches. In October/November alongside ministry
co-ordinator Sergio they oversaw the start of the Life Centre building Project.
Regular Team prayerlencouragement- Mel and Mandy have been in regular daily
contact through ￿atsappIernaII and zoom meetings for prayer and updates as we
work and partner together to fulfil Gods purposes.

Ethiopia
This year has seen a growth in Elizabeth's compassion ministry to the vulnerable poor
expanding to include Addis Ababa since August 2024. In Nekemte, the conflicts raged
throughout the year making it a very dangerous place for Elizabeth as she travelled about
her hometown to carry out her pastoral visits. After much prayer we all agreed that she
should move to be wrth her family in Addis.
Nekemte
26 vulnerable poor were helped with monthly food, medicines, and pastoral care until
July 2024.
In July 10 individuals graduated in Nekemte and were given micro grants to start
small businesses.
This left 13 in Nekemte, who are continuing to receive monthly food kits or cash gifts.
Charis still provides monthly food for 8 children, who have also been sponsored to go
to school.
Addis since August 2024
Due to the ongoing conflicts in Oromio and Amhara regions many young families have fled
to Addis Ababa to seek safety. However, this is resulting in a massive increase in the
number of young mothers with children homeless and living on the streets. Charis in
partnership with Elizabeth and Febien are seeking to rescue as many families as possible.
Elizabeth 'adopted' Lemane and took her to live with her in Addis ababa, she is now
attending school and is very happy.
Families in need - 16 individuals including mothers, grandmas, children, sick and
disabled now receive monthly food and medical help + 3 families have been housed
in rented rooms.
New key worker - In 2025, Elizabeth's daughter Febien was invited to join the
ministry as Outreach Coordinator. Her role is to strengthen and expand the ministry.
Her first task is to register a new national association, which will create new
connections and opportunities to help more families.
Mel and Mandy Visits (May 20241March 2025): Visiting Elizabeth and Febien in
Ethiopia was a privilege. Both trips were filled with prayer, encouragement, and vision.
In March 2025, Mel and Mandy met with families and vulnerable individuals across
Addis, hearing their inspiring stories of moving from despair to hope.

Forward Vision 2025-2026
As we enter a new year, we anticipate and embrace God's promises with faith. The fields are
white unto harvest, and many still need to experience Jesus, saving love. We pray 'Lord,
send more workers into our harvest fields in Mozambique and Ethiopia. Let us
witness Jesus as Savior and strive together for His kingdom of justice, truth, love,
and mercy.,
Mozambique
Our prayer:
The Life Centre will be completed and up and running as a worshiplmusic school, a
discipleship training ￿ntre and place of prayer operating as a missional hub of God's
transforming presence, where many, particularly of the younger generation, will grow
in their understanding, knowledge and experience of who God is- Father, Son and
Holy Spirit - and go out to love and serve the Lord with whole-hearted passion and
live lives of integrity in their communities.
The Life Centre will begin to welcome and embrace visitors, Christian leaders and
teachers from the nations.
Orlando will flourish in his role as Co-ordinator of Worship/Music training.
Sergio will continue to grow in his role as Ministry Co-ordinator - as a servant leader
and passionate disciple-maker.
More families and vulnerable poor helped practically with houses, water pump farms,
seeds and tools, micro-grants etc.
The national team aims to increase its confidence and ability to advance this national
work/ministry.

Ethiopia
Our prayer:
For Elizabeth and Febien to continue to have God's heart of compassion for
the marginalised poor and God's protection in all they do.
For God's help and favour in the registering of Charis Ethiopia, the national
association.
More families with children will be rescued from homelessness and find hope
through Jesus and transformation.
That doors of hope/community centres will open up across the city where
rescued families can live together in peace and fellowship.
UK
Our prayer.
Let us seek wisdom and faith as we facilitate and support the ministries in
Mozambique and Ethiopia. May we respond to new opportunities and move into the
future with openness.
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen."
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not lo lurn away from your own flesh and blood?
11 The LORD will guide you always,"
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spn.ng whose waters never fail. (Isaiah 58. 6-7/11)
