## **Year in Review 2024**
## **Mission & Strategic Focus**
In 2024, our objective was to consolidate the gains of 2023 and to take further, larger steps in fulfilling the ministry’s goals: influencing lives and building an authentic church where believers grow into spiritual maturity and fulfil lifetime goals and aspirations through genuine Christian fellowship.
## **Key Activities & Outcomes**
• Teaching, prayer, and regular communion were emphasised as primary tools for fostering believers into maturity. Through these focus areas we witnessed numerous practical demonstrations of God’s work: miracles in the secular, financial, marital and career dimensions of our members’ lives.
- We introduced and redesigned key programmes including:
i)� Basic Life Bible Teaching each Sunday, strengthening foundational scriptural engagement. ii) Early-Morning Prayers, expanded to all working days of the week (excluding bank holidays), reinforcing discipline and spiritual readiness.
- Our annual church retreat, held in Birmingham, provided an excellent opportunity for corporate fellowship, prayer, encouragement and spiritual refreshment for the family of the church.
• Youth ministry received significant attention: we inaugurated a new leadership team for the youth group under Brother Patrick Tierney. The goal: ensuring our young people are firmly rooted in the Word of God and are prepared for life beyond church walls and the challenges of growing up. Plans are in place to provide practical training and empowerment—in skills and knowledge—so that tomorrow’s youth become useful to themselves, their families and the community at large.
• We give thanks to God and to all the church members who volunteered at one or more times during the year—ensuring that our programmes ran smoothly throughout 2024, including pastors, deaconesses and all ministry workers.

## **Reports of the Trustees continued**
## **Structure, governance and management**
• There were no changes in the composition of the Board of Trustees during the year.
• The Board sets the direction and policy framework for the church, and in 2024 it implemented a process for reviewing, evaluating and implementing an appropriate risk-management framework —ensuring our ministry’s work is sustainable, accountable and aligned with good practice. • We continue to maintain transparent governance and financial controls, in line with charity sector guidance. According to the Charity Commission’s “Internal financial controls for charities” guidance, strong controls help protect assets, ensure quality accounting records and enable informed decision-making.
• Our annual report is designed to reflect not only what we have done, but how we have delivered value to our members and community, aligning with the Charity Commission’s template for trustees’ annual reports.
## **Looking Ahead**
As we move into the next season, we recommit to fostering spiritual maturity, practical service and community impact. Our emphasis will be on deepening discipleship, expanding outreach to youth and families, and strengthening our governance, financial stewardship and risk management. We believe that as we steward what God has given, the impact will grow, and the lives changed will multiply.
## **Summary**
2024 was a year of consolidation, growth and fruit. Jesus Touch Ministries remained committed to teaching, prayer and communion as foundational pillars. Programmes were strengthened, youth ministry stepped forward, and corporate fellowship grew through our retreat. Governed by a stable Board and strengthened risk-management practices, we continue to operate with integrity and purpose. We thank all our volunteers, pastors, deaconesses and member-workers for their service. Together, we look forward to even greater impact in the years ahead.

## **JESUS TOUCH MINISTRIES, HEYWOOD**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Jesus Foundation Family International**
I report on the accounts for the year 31 December, 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 9.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The Church's trustees are responsibilities for the preparation of the accounts. The church's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the CharitiesAct), to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also include consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts presents a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
