BSUK Conference.
In May we hosted a National Conferen￿ at Oxford Community Church. This was arguably
the most comprehensive Conferen￿ to date. With Dawn De Silva as our Keynote speaker,
we had main sessions on;
Sozo for couples
Sozo for Families
Financial Sozo
Sozo in a Traumatised nation
From Captive to Liberator
Shabar workshop
Art Sozo Workshop
The delegate {200+ attendees) feedback on the venue hospitality as well as the subjects
covered was the best we have ever received.
Other "Events.
Trainers have met with various church & other leadership teams regarding Sozo.
Occasionally they have visited a church to give the leadership team personal Sozo sessions.
Their attendance at churches and other ministry events typically results in offering Sozo
sessions in the context of those gatherings.
The team minister in a wide variety of settings and Sozo (named or anonymous) inevitably
happens. This would Include speaking at;
Ladies weekend
Church Weekend
Supernatural School residential
Sunday preaching
Healing Conference (Sozo in everyday lrfe)
Children's conferen￿ (over 5 days in July)
Sozo for Families (on line in November)
Takin
Sozo to the Streets
We were approached by a large UK church that has an established Sozo team & Ministry.
They wanted a workshop on how to use selected Sozo tools in their outreach mission on the
streets. While what they do is very effective, they wanted to see Yhe transformational
changes that they see in a Sozo session. After much groundwork, we produced a handbook
for them explaining how to use selected tools in the "open airf. This was followed by a full
day's workshop led by;

Liz Gregg
Tandy Ruoff
Christine West
David West
Healin
Rooms Partnershi
{ www.healin
Our partnership with HREW has continued to deepen during 2025. With their legacy
emphasis on physical healing, there is recognition that physical healing can benefit from
dealing with "Inner Healing" related issues. The past year has seen mutual participation is
each.
rooms.or
In May BSUK & HREW hosted a joint conference for 1,200+ delegates, where Bill Johnson
was keynote speaker. Over 2 days, each aftemoon was dedicated to 2 separate °streams'.
The Sozo Stream (estimated 325 delegates) and the HREW stream, at whlch David West
was one of the speakers.
David's Tent
www.davidstent.net
We have taken a Sozo team to this event for several years, Deborah & Allen Carter picked
up leadership this year and put together a team that delivered increasing numbers of sozo
sessions over the weekend, 75 Sozo sessions. Yet again, requests for Sozo sessions far
exceeded our capacity. In response to this we ran a number of group ministry sessions using
80me of the Sozo tools. There were very popular & over-subscribed. Over 80 people took
part in these sessions. BSUK financed a number of small marquee8 8Uitable for 3 people to
have a sozo sesslon In confidence.
David & Christine especially are well embedded with the DT leadership team and were
Involved in personal ministy as required throughout the year, as well as to the event
weekend itself.
Mentorin
Pro
ramg
These varied events give practitioners the opportunity to practice and get instant feedback.
Such programs significantly accelerate people's competence and builds confidence.
Typically. there would be mentoring activity at local & regional team meetings, both °live° &
online. Some of these would be "one off, meetings, Others would be a more structured
program running over several evenings.
Sozo b Zoom
As previously reported, these continue to be very popular and by all accounts are very
effective. Vthile they will not suit everyone, they are definitely a permanent part of the Sozo
landscape going foFward. An unintended effect is that UK practitioners are regularly doing
online Sozo sessions with delegates from overseas - geography is not an inhibitor for online
sessions. SLJch overseas appointments are now commonplace.

Associated Ministries
Financial Sozo
Liz Gregg and Nick Nicholson continue lo steward Financial Sozo, accountable to
Steve Desilva. Much of her related training happens online.
Sozo for Cou
Darrell & Anthea Cocup and Liz Gregg continue to develop this associated ministry.
They have delivered training sessions both live and online.
Art Sozo
We ran an Art Sozo workshop at the UK Sozo conference in May.
Children'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 Families..
Shabar
This is an entirely separate ministry from Sozo. It is overseen by Teresa Liebsher in
the USA.
While there are a handful of UK people who can offer a Shabar session nobody is an
approved trainer. All such ministry enquiries are directed to Teresa Liabsher
personally. We hosted a Shabar Worksop, led by Teresa, at the BSUK conference in
May.
How extensive is the minist ?
We are frequently asked, "how many churches have the Sozo ministry?11, the answer is "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 serrfe accountable to that leadership.
The UK leadership only get formally involved with local church teams by ex￿ptiOn, when
invited or when they become aware of an issue that needs to be addressed. We work hard
at not being "controlling" or "interfering"
The Sozo network in the UK continues to not only grow but be healthy. Sozo is certainly
working in hundreds of UK churches from just about every denomination & stream. We have
maintained our active mailing list in excess of 3,200 people who will in 80me way be
involved in Sozo.
The fruit of the ministy is deep, evident and lasting for countless hundreds of people here in
the UK. testimonies abound. We are grateful to our Heavenly Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit
for this freedom for which we were set free.
Finances
Product sales continue to be modest with the exception of manual sales at training events.
All income is generated by a combination of donations and product I manual sales.

We will continue to monitor finances closely. we do not have borrowing facilities and do not
intend to seek them.
The approved accounts for 2025 are attached to this Annual Report

Independent Examlner's Report to the Trustees of Bethel Sozo UK- SC044708 (Scotland)
I report on the aGcounts of the charity for the year ended 31st Decernber 2025 which are set out

Respectlve responsibilities of trustees and examlner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the pieparation of the accounts in accordance with the
terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit
requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my
responsibility to examine the accounts as required under 88ction 44{1) (c) of the Act and to state
whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examiner's statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the truslees
concerning any such matters. The prooedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audlt, and consequentty I do not express an audit opinion on the view
given by the accounts.
Independent examinerfs quallfled statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
which gives me reasonable cause to belleve Ihat in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44{1) (a) of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2008 Accounts Regulations
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
