Achievements and Performance
Missionary Work
Most of the activity is based in the south of Kenya, south of the city of Mombasa. 2021 has been another busy year for the Mission. The main work has been that of teaching and preaching the Bible to local men, women, and children. This is achieved by regular preaching in the church located on the mission land as well as the efforts to plant a church at Mbita. Also, up to ten Bible classes occur each week, across a large area, where the men of the mission meet with men and women interested to learn more of the Bible. Alongside this there is the work of the Sunday school which is headed by Elsie Gudgeon and Hannah Kingham alongside a youth class aimed at teenagers. Furthermore, the mission seeks to engage in open air work week by week to engage those who would otherwise not hear the Gospel – the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Building Work
2021 has also been busy with building work – the completion of the final water tank to consolidate water supply on the mission premises, the extension of the local dam (water supply) to safeguard against further pressure due to drought for locals, the building of a house for workers/security at the land and the beginning groundworks for a dedicated building for a chapel.
Humanitarian Work
2021 was a particularly difficult year for the area owing to lack of rain. Crops failed and water ran dangerously low. The Mission was able to engage in humanitarian work – providing food and water to those who were most in need. We are thankful that the Lord has provided the mission with the ability to help in times of need.
Medical work has continued, with the mission being able to provide basic medical care for emergencies as well as common illness such as malaria. Alongside this, they have funded and

supported more complex medical issues which require specialist treatment at secondary centres in Mombasa – particularly with paediatric cases, which would have a great impact at a low cost, for parents that are unable to afford treatment.
The mission continues to support children in school fees and uniforms to allow them to achieve a standard of education that will allow them to read and write.

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

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

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
