Objects
The objects of the CIO are:
-
To relieve poverty and sickness thereby demonstrating the Christian faith in particular, but not exclusively by, providing, assisting or working through selected partner organisations in the provision of education, training, healthcare projects and support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income.
-
To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public through:
-
a. The training and encouragement of Christians in practical methods of sharing their faith through lectures, seminars, and individual tuition.
-
b. To encourage Christians to grow in their faith through the holding of Bible studies, lectures, seminars, and individual tuition.
-
c. The production and distribution/broadcast of messages of an evangelistic and teaching nature.
Aims and Objectives
The two foundational principles of Hayat Ministries are that the Christian Faith itself brings immediate benefits to its followers but also that there is a requirement for Christians to demonstrate their faith in practical ways - “By their fruits you will know them” as the Bible puts it.
The long-term aims are therefore to work with organisations in poorer countries which are actively demonstrating their faith through practical work amongst the poor and oppressed, whilst also building the Church through the usual means of teaching and preaching etc. These organisations can often best be helped by the provision of much needed funds and a primary function of Hayat Ministries is to be a channel for such funds from the UK to the projects where they are needed. An example of this is the child sponsorship programme.

Activities in 2025
There were no specific fund-raising activities in 2025, but we were able to route funds to the Life Center from the individuals and churches who continue to support the work there. The money sent to the Life Center contributed to the following projects:
-
The regular Spring of Life after school program and six-week summer program for disadvantaged children.
-
The outreach centre in the Beqaa valley.
-
The Life Kitchen refugee feeding program.
-
Support for accommodation and medical expenses etc for individuals.
Plans for 2026
There are no new initiatives planned for 2026 at this time. Support for the existing work of the Life Center will continue as funds permit, and we will respond to new initiatives as they arise.
Financial Review
Reserves Policy
The intention, as previously, is to hold the current unallocated funds in reserve for promotional activities and any other targeted activities which will provide a return on the investment. This will not necessarily be in financial terms. An example from previous years was using the reserves to pay for Rev. Dib’s visit to the UK. The reserves will not, except under exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the trustees, be used for general grants to supported projects or other causes.
Funds in Deficit
There are no funds in deficit in the current accounting period.
