Section D Achievements and performance

Section D Achievements and performance Ministry of Music has been operating for 13 years. During this **Summary of the main** time we have supported almost 750 events, received positive **achievements of the** feedback from many event organisers, established partnerships **charity during the year** with other Christian organisations and seen the demand for our services grow. But most importantly the vision of drawing people closer to God has been evident at many events where people have become Christians and lives have been impacted by God!
Almost three years ago Covid totally disrupted the plans of Ministry of Music. But God was by our side and guided us as a charity through the difficult months ahead. So, it was so encouraging to see that during 2022 our support of events across the UK reached pre-covid levels and was one of the best years we have had.
We give thanks to God for all that was achieved during 2022. Music can be such a powerful and culturally relevant way to spread the Christian message and we are thankful that we were able to achieve this via both live and online events. Here is some of the encouraging feedback we received... _“Thank you to everyone for your work over the weekend. You are true professionals :) It was a pleasure to work with you and i'll hopefully see you again next year. The feedback that I have heard from the festival attendees about your performances has been great.”_
_“The conference went really well, glory to God! Loulita is such a gifted minstrel. Within the short time Loulita ministered, God's presence filled the room and we didn't want to stop worshipping. We would definitely work with her again!”_
_“A massive thank you for working with me on the concert and making it happen. We had a great evening, Bean and Joe were great and Tony created a great sound stage, and I have had so much positive feedback from the concert. I would be very happy to work with you again.”_
_“Tremaine was wonderful in her performance. The service came out great. Thank you for the arrangements, I appreciate it. Success.”_
We thank the excellent artists that we work with for the use of their musical gifts at the many events we facilitate across the UK. Following our 2022 artist review three new artists will be working with us in 2023.
So we are moving into 2023 in a strong position with the aim of using the ministry of music to bring people closer to God!
