For wider public benefit purposes, the charity in the course of the year has actively engaged in both congregational and community wide activities that are geared towards promoting the social inclusion and empowering people to live a sustainable Christian life. Amongst them are; - Weekly worship, prayer meetings and bible studies - Community wide evangelistic outreach and missionary work - Advancement of the Christian religion by promoting knowledge of salvation through Christ with face-to-face evangelism, publication of teaching materials on the World Wide Web and regular TV and radio broadcast - Provision of pastoral care for the congregation, local community and new converts to help them live a sustainable life in their new-found faith In carrying out our activities both within and outside our worship centre, we always ensure that we do not compromise the core principals of our statement of faith as set out in our governing constitution. ## **Review of Activities and Performances** We have continually struggled with face-to-face membership growth over the years. However, the lack of membership growth has not hampered our dedication to affect the community we serve. Despite the lack of increase to our face to face regular members, we have continued to provide people in the community at large the opportunity to become members of our church to serve in a ministry dedicated to life changing teachings and support, worship, prayers and global evangelism and community missionary work. The achievements and performances are further elaborated below; ## **Worship and Prayer** We hold regular prayer and bible studies respectively on Wednesdays and Fridays. The combinations of these meetings has helped members to grow tremendously in their faith and in turn has helped improved their commitment to provide a Godly service to the wider community at large. 4 ## **Trustees Report (continued) for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2024** ## **Community wide evangelistic and missionary work** We have continued with advancing the Christian religion through radio and TV broadcast and through distribution of our church flyers to the local community to encourage people to attend our service and become members of our church. We are currently in the process of rolling out a community wide new start project aimed at: - Reaching out to the homeless most especially the single homeless and enabling them to have a new start through help with finding privately rented accommodation, training and life skills - Empowering the unemployed through provision of advice and assistance, life skills and job-hunting advice, etc. - Enabling the vulnerable in the society through face to face surgery in, advice, mentoring and necessary spiritual guidance - Facilitating a multi-agency approach in addressing issues affecting the vulnerable in the society through developing a joint working approach with other existing bodies, charities and local support groups ## **Advancement of the Christian religion** Christ resurrection Ministries during the year dedicated itself to the advancement of the Christian religion by spreading the gospel through media and multimedia channels such as TV, radio, social media and the World Wide Web especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The overall objective of the charity is to take the church beyond the four corner walls and actively spread the gospel of Jesus Christ across the globe through effective media ministry and by engaging in various charitable objects that are beneficial to humanity. ## **Provision of Pastoral care** The Charity puts the welfare of its congregation and the community it serves at the heart of its yearly objectives. During the course of the year, the charity in collaboration with the founder and senior pastor operated food bank for the benefit of members and the community, organised group intercessory prayers for the community and nations and through the communitywide projects, provided advice, assistance and wider support to the public at large on matters relating to homelessness, unemployment and other societal maladies through media links. 5 ## **Trustees Report (continued) for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2024** ## **Empowering people through joint working relationship with other churches** Through active evangelism and effective networking approach, the charity has over the years managed to form and maintained a meaningful joint working relationship with other ministries that has similar objectives for the purpose of empowering people in the community at large.
