FIn2￿Cial review
Durin8 2023, the finantes of MT were overseen by the Trustee5. Wlth day-to-day duties deleg3tÈd to Treasurer, June M
Marshall.
2023 has beÈn a year in which many of our workers have continued their normal outreach roles.
Donation5 have increased a liirle durin8 2023, if no more than inflation. Also, during 2023, it h35 been possible to hold
more rallie5 and m3ke deputation wsit5. Workers. expense5 have changed very little since 2022.
We started the year with 8ood reserves, but because legacy income was quite modest in 2023, we have finished the year
with reserves of Fust under £524,000. and Iherefore need to start seeking grant aid.
In 2023. after legacies received amounting io £29,452. outgoings exceeded income by £135,769. Net investment falls due
to m3rket decreases accounted lor E2,129 in 2023. increasing our deficit to £137,896. Whilst we are immensely grateful to
God for those whose foresight in making a will has been of considerable benefit to MT, we would note that, withour the
legacies, outgoings would have ￿xceeded Income before capital gains by £165,219.

MESSIANIC TESTIMONY
TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORTI{CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The fatt that outgoings exceeded income in 2D23 accentuate5 the Tru5tee5' concern that the underlying trend is one of
f311ino support. especizlly I￿ larger one-off donations and, in particular. increased nuising costs for rhe elderly could lead to
a reduction in leg3cies received.
The Trustees believe, by falth, that nece55ary fund5 will be forthcoming to rneet the needs of the work, and this has been
true slnce MT'S inception. However. the Trustees are cOn￿lOuS that, once they have established good leadership, they
need to 8ive priority to increasing support and balancing the budget,
As MT'5 rnain 50urce5 of income, other than from investments, are generally from donations, lÈgacies and tax refund5 on
gift-aided donations, the flow of income is irregular. However, MT has a regular stream of outgoing5 in salarie51 gr3nts and
expenses. It is therefore MT'S wlicy to maintain sufficient reserves to be able to ctrpe with any eKie%s of outgoings over
income in the short to medium term15ay I to S years). thus minimising di5ruptlOn5 to the funds held by our stockbrokers
and a forced sale tsl our property investment.
Currently we are heavily financially dependent on receiving legacies which ère few, spasmodic, unknown and impossible to
budget. However, we are seeking ways to increase our regular incorne in èn attempt to minimise the uneven cash flows
that we experience,
As outlined in Note 15, at 31 December 2023 MT'5 designated reserves total £511,942 made up of the following itern5

Plans for the Future
For a number of years prior to 2012 outgoings exceeded Income. Then income first just Exceeded outBoing5 in 2012 and
this coniinuod up to 2nd includtng 2017, thèn reverting to outgoings exceeded income for the period 2018-22. The
Trustees are dlsappoinred to have to report that outgoings again exceeded income during 2023, with a loss of E137,896.
Also, as MT'S reserves have now fallen to lust over £523,473, the Trvstees now feel justified in starting to apply for Trust
Grants once again. Nevertheless, desplte the in-year delictt in 2023, the Trustees asked for a modest 4% inflationary
increase in salaries & grznts to be p3id to workers in UK, France and S Africa in Jsnuary 2024.
However, the Trustees have budgeted for outgoin£s to exceed income by a 5ubstant131 amount in 2024, thus using some of
ou¥ recent legacy irTrcome lor the purpose for which it Wa5 given. The Twstees continue to actively address the mattÈr of
steerirlg the rS8ht path between balancin8 their budget and making sure thar supporters, donations are put to Use as
qulckly a5 P055ible.
The Trustee5 are actively engaged in the process of establishing good leadership. However, the Baard is .looking to
strengthen its capability in the areas of business and finance. In the meantime, RÉV Colin Ley5hon, Chèirman of the
Trustees and Honorary Ge￿er31 Director, is co-ordinating the work of the mission with help from the other Trustees and
from our Dire£r¢kr Emerlrus, Tom Mayr-Lori.
As the Lord has safely seen MT through 2023 with its challenges. MT *s facing thÈ future with renewed confidence. We will
continue to look for new opportunities to expand the work as funds allow. We step out into the coming months with a
sense ol excitement as opportunities for outreach present themselves and, at the s8me time, with renewed dependence
upon God and hls people to stand with us as we seek to rnaximise our potential a5 3 ministry to Jewish people.

Total designated funds ol E511.942 3re made up of the following:
Contingency for sustaSnalJllity- MT has regular outguing5 on salaries and Erants. However, as its income is mainly
from supporter donalions, trust grants and legdiies, income 15 eriati£ and unpredictable. Thus the Trustees hav
agreed thal it is appropriate to hold a reservo equ31 to 6 month5, budgeted outgoings amountin8 to £174.000 as at
31 December 2023.
Contingency for budgeted deficits
A5 It (s not Possible to bud8et for legacy income, MT generally budgets to
spend a liltl2 mare Each year th?n it expect5 to receive in the form of supporteF donations and Trusi grants, but
limits the budgeted deficit to an amount which is reasonably sustainable in the context of its reserves. klowever. in
201S and 2016, leg3cy income wa5 disproportionately large comp3red with other income. MoreovÈr, MT Is Eoing
through a period of change with regard to its leadership and supporl stall. Thus, MT is reserving 8$ at 31
Oecember 2023 lor relatively large deficits over the neyt 3 year5 of £230,651. However, the Trustees are aware
that, alter sorting their le8dersh%p issues, the next challenge is to seek to balance regular income and regular
outgoings.
To grow salarlÈs & Èrants- During 2015 and 2016, income from legacies was disproportionately high compared to
income fmm donatlQn5 and trust grant5. The best way to put this monÈy to use is to grow the number ol
evan8eli5ts we sUPPO¥t. The TIu5tees have therefore 38ieod to reserve £24.525 as at 31 December 2023 to cover
new salarie5 and Eiant5 for such evangeli5t5 over a period of 3-5 years.
