HIGHER KINGDOM CHURCH INTERNATIONAL: ANNUAL REPORT – 2019/20

NB: There has not been any significant change since 2019 and the report for 2019 is congruent with 2020. The pandemic really affected the organisation from meeting apart from virtual video calls and sporadic donations (food parcels) to the community.

The church has been doing well in the local community by providing counselling support, food parcels, visitation, and air broadcasting to encourage and advise people on safety and keeping well in their emotional wellbeing.

Higher Kingdom Church is interested in people living in the community and would from time to time visit them through evangelistic work, teachings about Jesus Christ and how to live and cohabit with neighbours in a peaceful environment.

The Church has demonstrated goodwill towards its members and assisted and supported them in areas of need, spiritual and cognitive development through Bible studies and prayers and other recreational phenomena. The pandemic has been quite difficult for most people and so physical interaction has not been easy and alternative ways of meeting has been the new normal in 2020.

The church has been quite vocal in supporting members who lost dear ones and relatives in the year and in some cases, financial contributions were made available to surviving children and family. I must say that, it has not been easy mobilising people or recruiting them into the church. Most often, people visit the church but after two or three appearances, they leave and do not come back again.

A lot of people who were supported financially and with prayers soon left after they received their healing and whatever, they came to church to grab, so it becomes very difficult to maintain a reasonable number of membership in the church.

The church moved its location from the City Mission’s building in 2019 to St Margaret’s and St George’s United Reform and Monrovian building after we were told the previous building is going to be demolished in that year.

I must say that, our new location appears spacious with access to facilities that we were unable to get at the previous location. Fortunately, for the church the current location is found within Brent amid town so, access to the church is not difficult at all.

Higher Kingdom church has a slot on a radio station every Sunday morning, where it broadcast and presents topical issues around the gospel of Jesus Christ to its listeners. And feedback from our audience has been positive. The church therefore continues to provide spiritual and material support to the community so long as it operates within the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.

Usually, the church is financed through the offerings and tithes of members which is used to pay the rent and support members when the need arises. The church does not receive any financial support apart from what the church receives when we gather on Sundays and as per government’s guidelines.

No one receives wages or salary in Higher Kingdom as we all volunteer to support the community to attain spiritual and emotional stability in themselves and others who come into our attention. We visit hospitals like Northwick Park and others to pray in their Faith rooms for the sick to be healed.

The Higher Kingdom church is a dedicated charitable Organisation whose aim is to ensure that the community is impacted with message of Jesus Christ, whose aim is to bring salvation and peace

among all who come to his saving knowledge. It is a place, where wisdom is impacted to many and so, people find refuge and solace in the name of Jesus Christ, the son of the Living God.

Trustees are very happy about the church and are willing to support the ministry grow bigger and bigger and to accomplish its mission of saving lives and bringing the gospel of Jesus to everyone. Higher Kingdom church is accommodating, tolerable and able to assist everyone, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity and religion. However, the foundation of the ministry is to preach Christ and Him alone.
