TRUSTEES REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

The trustee have pleasure in submitting the report and accounts for the year to 31 December 2020.

Charitable Objects

A.The principal object of the church is for the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of faith and to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services in such parts of Portsmouth, the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees from time to time may think fit.

B.Summary of main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects. The church is not a building, but a gathering of people of different race, ages and background whose lives have been transformed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The bible reveals that the church is a community of people, being well taught of and cared for, who by loving and serving Jesus Christ are also committed to love one another and to be a blessing to others.

TGSIM UK Church, its trustees and members are committed to these biblical principles, to help people to know, love and follow Christ.

During the year,TGSIM Uk has continued to demostrate Christian Faith in action by serving the community in which it operates through the following activities via zoom and FB live streaming.

Achievements and Performance

A. Events

The charity was not able to conduct some of the usual activities due to restrictions of physical gathering.

B. Training and Discipleship

It has been wonderful to see the members of the church continuously growing in the faith,grace and knowledge of God for the last twelve (12) months despite of the pandemic.

Training and discipleship activities is in progress as we aim more members to fully mature in Christ,serving God with love and passion.Members of each cell group/ Bible study group are given the chance to facilitate and lead the discussions in the bible study and also one on one/ group discipleship via zoom.

Youth and Children are being trained according to their gifts and willingness in order for them to serve the people in the church as well as in the community.

The Church was able to help members to identify their spiritual gift and to utilise them to show their love for God and also to provide services in the community.

TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

The cell group helped to fulfill the vision of Christ for the church, to win the world for Jesus. This can only be achieved when all believers become disciples themselves.The small group setting of a cell group is the only practical means to see this disciple making happen, and to reach out to the lost and to nurture new believers . We are aslo called to love one another, care for one another, teach and encourage one another, exhort, admonish and restore one another.The only practical way to achieve this is through cell groups.

Our church pastor is mainly responsible for providing pastoral care for the congregation, equipping, and also discipling committed members of the church. Church leaders willingly and voluntarily help for the pastoral care, discipling potential leaders and organisation of different activities and the role of administration.

C. Mission

The charity pastor was not able to physically visit and minister to some TGSIM churches worldwide due to the pandemic.

Thru this pandemic, we were able to reached out to many people in other countries via online / zoom and they were able to join us in our Sunday church.Pastors and members of our sister churches ( TGSIM) were able to support in joining us every Sunday via zoom, and live streaming.

The charity has provided financial support to TGSIM churches in the Philippines to aid in serving their people in the church as well as in their community.

The charity continue to offer financial help as part of the benevolence support to our regular members and to their immediate family as per charity benevolence protocol.

Trustees Responsibilities

The trustees are aware of the guidance and public benefit published by the charity commission and we believed that the activities of the church provided significant public benefit in accordance with the charity commission guidance. It is always been the desire of the church to welcome new faces into our fellowship and to reach out as many people as possible in our community through the gospel to help people find spiritual faith and peace.

Governance

Sunday school teachers, are holding DBS certificate and the charity is under the child protection policy produced by CCPAS.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have established a policy whereby reserves held by the charity should be maintained at a level that represents three months of normal expenditure in order to meet its obligations to employee and sustain its operations during that period.

Financial Review

The charity activities are financially supported, mainly from the tithes and offerings of the church members thru on line giving from the month of April untill December 2020.

The cost of the charitable activities dropped by 25% compared to the previous year end 2019, but the income of the charity also dropped by 25% compared from the previous year end. Through the giving of tithes and offering increased to 5%. The charity business reserve increased to 48%.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the trustees/members of The Good Shepherd International Missions UK on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2020 set out on pages 6 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for an independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
