ANNUAL REPORT: 2021

1 | P a g e

From the Pastors Desk

Welcome to 2022!

As we gather for our Annual General Meeting, I want you to know how much I appreciate you and our partnership in the gospel. Together we share and tell more of Gods story. Thank you for the many ways you have proclaimed and demonstrated the love of Christ. This is who we are. A Christ Centered people, grounded in the scriptures and unified in our shared mission. Our mission is to join God in His mission to see more disciples making a difference in their sphere of influence.

The landscape we face as believers currently, and especially post COVID pandemic, has helped to highlight the state of the church and the individual believer. For example, many churches face new dilemmas such as individualism and people not coming to Church and staying at home.

Proving for many of us to be a challenging year, we lost our dear Pastor Joseph Boadu, the Founder and General Overseer of CLF in June 2021 as well as other beloved brothers and sisters of Christian Life Fellowship (CLF). We at CLF Life Centre (LC) continue to support the bereaved families.

However, our mission remains the same and unchanged as we continue to work with our sister Churches under the umbrella of City Faith Ministries Trust (CFMT) aka Christian Life Fellowship (CLF). We need to return to the basics, live out our values and make a difference thereby advancing the kingdom of God. We cannot falter in our mission in these dark times.

2 | P a g e

Why? Because we are the only hope for the world, and our Lord Jesus Christ is counting on us to arise and shine for His Glory has come upon us.

This is the time, especially the times that we are in, for us as a church to work together to advance God’s Kingdom and love one another. We cannot afford to leave anybody behind. We need to sit together. Rise together. Walk together.

It is a privilege serving you. Once again, thank you all for the cooperation, giving, and support in advancing the Kingdom of God. I want to take this opportunity especially to thank all the workers for their continued dedication, faithfulness and hard work throughout 2021.

We are grateful to God that after the pandemic you and I are here.

God Bless

Pastor John

The Trustees

The Trustees are pleased to present their report and CLF LC’s financial statement for the Year Ended 31 December 2021. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the governing document and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and the applicable accounting standard FRS102.

5 | P a g e

Structure, Governance and Management

CLF LC is registered with the Charity Commissioners (No. 1168879) and constituted by a constitution. CLF Life Centre (CLF LC) is affiliated to City Faith Ministries Trust (CFMT) (No.1045627).

CLF Life Centre is an international community of New Testament believers committed to exalt the person and revelation of Jesus Christ as revealed in the bible and living a lifestyle centered on Him and His will. We are a member of the Evangelical Alliance UK (No. 241723)

Trustee Induction and Training

All trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity having served in this capacity for over 4 years.

The charity constitution provides for a minimum of three Trustees and there is no maximum number of charity trustees that may be appointed. Where there is a need for new Trustees, these would be identified and appointed by the current Trustees. The chair of Trustees is responsible for the induction of any new Trustee which involves awareness training of a Trustee's duties and responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures, the history and ethos of the charily. A new Trustee will also receive a copy of the previous year’s annual report and a copy of the Charily Commission leaflet 'The Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know’.

At present CLF Life Centre has five Trustees from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the activities of the charily.

The Charity employs one full time pastor.

6 | P a g e

The object of the charity as set out in the constitution is to:

Advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of beliefs appearing in the Statement of Faith of the charity.

We raise awareness and understanding of the Christian faith by various means including producing religious books, MP3s and through CLF LC channel on YouTube. We also promote the study of religious teachings and practices through various meetings.

As part of their pastoral remit our Pastor, executive team, Life Groups leaders and heads of departments look after the spiritual wellbeing of the members which includes the regular conduct of baby dedications, marriages, funerals and counselling.

Our Mission

We exist because of The Great commission of our Lord Jesus summarized in Matthew 28:18 to 20, which mandates us to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our Vision

Our vision is to make disciples of Christ by encouraging them to be “Difference Markers’” full of the life of God and spirit filled to bring hope and deliverance to the world. We will fulfil this mandate (to make disciples of Jesus Christ) by:

Telling (preach to) others (the lost) about Christ,
Warning and teaching those who are saved; and,
Ultimately present every man perfect in Christ;
From being youthful and immature to an individual who is full-grown and

spiritually mature and living in accordance with the perfect will of God. (Col 1:28)

7 | P a g e

Our Core Values

Our core values are those ideals we are unwilling to compromise as we fulfil our vision. They are derived from our mission:

Live with God's PURPOSE .
LOVE God supremely and, my neighbour as myself.
Be EXCELLENT in all I think and do.
Make JESUS the centre of my heart and life.
Always TEAMWORK thereby bringing, and keeping the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Be HOLY even as God is Holy.
Keep, maintain and guard my INTEGRITY at all times.
STEWARDSHIP ; that is eternity will be at forefront in all I do. Because I will one day

stand before God to give an account of what He gave me, and did with my life.

Overall, 2021 was still a challenging year for the body of Christ and the nation as a whole due to COVID-19. Life Centre leadership continued to strengthen its members through prayer and life groups meetings, midweek services and online fellowships.

Challenges

The General Overseer of CLF Pastor Joseph Boadu passing away
Not able to meet physically due to COVID-19 pandemic
Challenge of finding a suitable location to meet.

The effects of COVID-19 pandemic proved to be a major challenge for us and the rest of the world in 2021. However, we enjoyed the grace and favour of God during this period and experienced a greater sense of unity and divine provision.

Aside from this, beyond the normal pastoral and administrative issues of an organisation like ours, there were no other major challenges that we had to address.

Use of Volunteers

CLF LC consider its volunteers as one of its main resources in both faith and community work.

The Charity encourages all its members to be involved in voluntary activities and now have over twenty volunteers (including all the trustees) who regularly give of their time. All members who work with children and vulnerable groups are always DBS checked.

We carry out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide valuable benefits to the public both in the U.K and abroad.

All our activities are available to Christians and non-Christians, members and non-members alike.

In 2021 CLM also supported Church leaders financially on a monthly basis due to the impact COVID 19 in their local Churches. This support stopped in 2022.

Other Notable Events in 2021

2021 also saw other individuals and teams go on missions in partnership with or on behalf of CLF to Sierra Leone, The Gambia, Republic of South Africa, and Ghana.
Kudzai and Liz Mundora along with their children Zachary and Zara-Grace went to Cambodia for a long-term mission.
Pastors Peter and Marilyn Mensah along with their children Ioanna and Othniel went to Ghana on long-term mission.
We had the pleasure of welcoming several babies and newly-weds into our fellowship.

Major Challenges in 2021

We experienced the sad passing of our Founder, General Overseer and Faithful Servant of over three decades Pastor Joseph Boadu on 23rd June 2021. Pastor Joseph by inspiration of Almighty God established CFMT with a vision to obey the Great Commission for Jesus Christ through world evangelism and the discipleship of every born-again believer within the context of a church community.

As an organization we have suffered profound loss in his passing as we have grown immeasurably by the grace of God through his faithful servant to what we are now as a global movement. As we pay tribute and mark his pilgrimage, we take some comfort in knowing that we shall meet again as expounded in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14. We also extend our deep love and appreciation to his beloved wife Ayshea and children Daniel, Charis and Joel and assure them of our support and honour.

17 | P a g e

We also experienced the passing away of our long-term friend and ministry partner, Dr Joseph Moses, of Gospel Mission who passed away in May 2021.

2021 also saw the sad passing of many CLF members: Shelley Lee, Vicky Amaning and her sons Ezra and Joseph, Jordan Viera, Diane Acheampong, Sharon Allen-Harper (Worship leader for Greenwich and CLF corporate) and Fitzroy Anthony Williams as well as several close and dear family members and friends.

COVID 19 did indeed prove to be a major challenge for CLF and the rest of the world in 2021. However, CLF enjoyed the grace and favour of God during this period and experienced a greater sense of unity and divine provision.

Financial Review

CLF LC ended the year with a deficit on general funds of £ 10,546 the details of which can be seen in annexed financial statements (and notes) for the period.

The Trustees are very thankful to all the members (and other stakeholders) for their' continuous generosity which enables the Charity to maintain its vast array of charitable activities (for its size) in this harsh economic climate. The Trustees will continue to consider value for money against impact when delivering the charities strategic objectives.

Investment Policy

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, the Trustees will consider appropriate money-market investments over the near and medium future. Where general reserves grow beyond a target level equivalent to 9-month operation costs more long-term investments will be explored.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Leaders of CLF Life Centre (charity number: 1168879)

I report to the Leaders of CLF Life Centre on my examination of the financial statements of the Church for the year ended on 31 December 2021, as set out on pages to 21 inclusive.

Responsibilties and basis of report

As the leaders of the church (and as the managing trustees) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Church's financial statements carried out under Section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act, or
the financial statements do not accord with the accounting records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
