er "Events"
Church Leadership Teams David & Christine have met with variou8 church & other
leadership teams regarding Sozo. Occasionally they have visited a church to giv8 the
leadership team personal Sozo sessions.
Their attendance at church, ministry events typically result in offering Sozo $88slon8 In the
context of those gatherings.
Davld & Christlne mlni8ter in a wido variety of settings and Sozo (nam&J or anonymou8)
inevitably happens.
( WbVW.healingrooms.org.uk )
Our partnership with HREW has continued to deepen during 2024. Ipthh their legacy
emphasis on physical healing, there is increasing recognriion that physical healing can
b8nefrt from dealing with 'lnner Healing" related issues. The past year has seen mutual
participation is each organisation's events with David speaking @ their annual conference in
April 2024.
Going forward. BSUK & HREW ae partnering together for a joinl conference in May 2005,
where Bill Johnson will be the keynole S￿aker. Ovèr 2 day8, èach aft6moon will be
dedicated 2 separate"streams" The Sozo Stream (estimated 325 delegates) and the HREW
Stream, at whlch David W88t will be one of the speakers.
David's Tent

We have taken a Sozo team to thls event for s8veral yoar8. Laura & Mark Ru88811 picked up
leadership from Lisa Wckham to put together a team that contlnues to dellver In￿281ng
numbers of sozo sessions over the weekend. Yet again, request's for Sozo $8ssions far
exceeded our capacty. David & Christine especially are well embedded with the DT
18ad8rship team and were involved in a lot of personal ministry as required throughout the
year, as well a6 to the event exeGutlve lead8r8hlp & ministry team8 over the event weekend.
Davids, Tent arrange & finance approximately a number of small marquees suitable for 3
people to have a sozo se881on In confldence. No payment has been required by DT from
BSUK. That said, it was decided to donate £500 as a gift recognising Drs ongoing support
In providing the8e marquees.
Mentorin
Pr
rams
These varied event3 give practitioners the opportunlty to practlce and get instant feedbad(.
Such programs significantly accelerate people's cornpeten￿ and bullds confid&nc&.
Typically, there would be mentoring activity at local & regional team meelings, both 'live' &
online. Some of these would be °one off meetlngs, Others would be a more stru¢tured
pragram running over several consecutive evenings.
Sozo b Zoom
As previously reported, these continue to be very popular and by all accounts are very
effective. While they will not suit everyone, they are definitely a permanent part of the Sozo
landscape going fopNard. An unintended effect is that UK practitioners are regularly doing

Birmingham have run occasional Art Sozo Workshops.
hildren's Sozo Tandy Ruoff continues to provide leadership and in discussion with
Sue Elliott (global Children's Sozo) has written & published the new book, "Sozo for
Famllies..
How extensive is the minist ?
We are frequently a8ked, "how many church88 have the Sozo ministry?" the answer 18 "we
have no idea"
Sozo is a church-based ministry,. the UK leadership train. mentor and 'sign off church team
leaders as competent. After that, they are commissioned by their own church leadership and
they serve accountable to that leadershlp.
The UK leadershlp only get fomially involved wlth local church teams by exception, when
invited or when they become aware of an issue that needs to be addre88ed. We work hard
at not being controlling" or'interfering..
The Sozo network in the UK continues to nol only grow but be healthy. Sozo is certainly
worklng in hundreds of UK Ghurche8 from just about every denomlnatlon & stream. Wa have
maintained our actlve malllng Ilst in excess of 3,200 people who will in some way be
involved in Sozo.
The fruit of the ministry is deep, evident and lasting for Gountless hundred8 of people here In
the UK, te8tlmonl8s abound. We are grateful lo our Heavenly Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit
for this freedom for which we were 8et free.
Flnanc
Product sales continue to be modest with the exr*ption of manual Sales at training events.
All income is generated by product I manual sales.
We have taken c08t saving measures in areas such as.,

Manag8m8nt costs.
We will continue to monitor finan￿3 c108ely; we do not have borrowing facilities and do not
intend lo seek them.
