## **Kepha Ministries Annual Report 2022** 

During 2022 we continued our practical support, services and ministries to Farsi speakers across the city of London with reaching out to Farsi speakers and a large number of asylum seekers and refugees in need of support. We had a wonderful Norouz (Persian New Year) celebration on 20th March with more than 100 guests attendance and a joyful occasion for everyone meet and enjoy Persian hospitality and music and culture together. 

Later in the year, we started our Discipleship courses at two new locations, Christ Church Feltham and Hope Church Hounslow. At Christ Church Feltham we started our weekly discipleship gatherings with about 15 Persians and soon it grew to over 60 people attending from the neighbourhood and beyond. This leaded to a sustainable Persian ministry in Christ church which has become one of the main hubs for reaching out to Persians in London. 

At Hope church Hounslow, we started with a few Persian Asylum seekers and later it grew to a good size group in which we had opportunity for growing up in Christian faith and building a Persian community with later on led to baptism for a number of them and adding to the number of the community for their monthly gathering for lunch, fellowship and worship. 

During 2022, we had the recognition from the Church Commissioners council for the ministry we offer to Persians across the city of London and their potential support to expand the ministry to more location and involve more lay leadership training and engagement. 

In 2022, we had a significant growth in our services both in terms of number of people attending and receiving our services and the number of locations we were able to offer our support in partnership with the local parishes.
