Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

At Bethel prayer house, our achievements and performances are rooted in prayer and faithful commitment of our church members. The past year has seen the local church continue serving faithfully in the face of considerable challenge. Worsening economic pressure, rising living cost, conflict and natural disaster have added additional hardship and forced our church members into being adaptive and highly responsive in immediate need while also looking forward to long term solutions. Regardless, the Church was able to open all Sunday’s for weekly services, all Tuesday’s for prayer meetings, all Friday’s for youth meeting and all Saturday’s for sister meeting throughout the year. The church was able to impact more than a 100 people either through in person attendance or online services.
