These have been attended by groups from a few dozen to thousands depending upon the occasion and location. The main emphasis of all our events is to minister so that both believers and not-yet-believers hear the gospel of grace and experience the power of God’s Spirit. In this light, multitudes have been transformed. Coming out of a period where travel was seriously inhibited, our focus was to return to holding large gatherings whilst keeping up on our online initiatives. These have been well received and produced good results. This report is divided into three sections: 1. Report 2. Report on Project 196 (mentoring network) 3. New Ministry Initiatives 4. Administrative Responsibilities ## **1.

PROJECT 196:** We are continuing to build our network of evangelists and church planters with the objective of mentoring at least one in the 196 nations of the earth.

Currently have 18 evangelists in the project in the following nations: - Brazil - USA - Peru - Kenya - Zambia - Uganda - Kazakhstan - Pakistan - India - Dubai - Bangladesh - Nepal - Colombia ## **3. NEW INITIATIVES:** ## **MENTORSHIP LAUNCH: The Elevated Life:** At the beginning of the year, we launched an online mentoring course called “The Elevated Life”. The purpose of this course was to help believers to experience the life that is available to them through Christ Jesus. The modules focussed on: - Definition – defining who you really are - Direction – discovering your purpose in life - · Development – developing your gifts and abilities The course lasted for 12 weeks and included online video modules, a weekly live mentorship session with Giles, and various reading materials and response forms. ## **BOOK LAUNCH: The Worship Service was Wonderful** Giles launched his new book specifically written to pastors and leaders to help them put on the best service in town each Sunday. Dealing with practical and spiritual aspects, the book breaks down the different components of a Sunday service (from praise and worship to preaching and offerings) and gives in-depth insight to leaders as to how to best minister at these times. 5 ## **THE GREAT MISSION** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1ST APRIL 2022** More than 1500 copies of the book were sold to pastors in a series of pastor training events that were held in: - Goiania - Sao Paulo - Curitiba - Belem - Tatiya ## **MOVIE LAUNCH: The Beloved Heart (English Version)** The Portuguese version of this film “O Amado Coração” produced by Pastora Marcia Silva has over 1.7 million views. Giles and his wife Silvia and their children Titus, Daniel, Pedro, and Jemimah did the voiceovers for the English version which already has over 4 thousand views. ## **4. ADMINISTRATION:** The TGM administrative team currently consists of: - Giles Stevens (Evangelist & Director) - Fred Felix (National Co-ordinator) - Titus Stevens (International Co-ordinator & Fund-raiser), - Camila Crispin (Book-keeping) - Thomas Hincapie (Studio production) - Daniel Stevens (Social Media production) For local events and missions, a team of volunteers normally accompanied the TGM staff. 6 ThE GREAT MISSIOPI TRiISTEES' REPORT (cImt￿) POR ThE YEAR ENDED 1ST APRIL 2022 Charty Iw¥ rtoutrts the knrd rfTnjst￿ to pw•ehi¥*(Jlll strtun￿ts frr fin•icW a tru• Id rfthe state (* the ch•ty ￿(1 lic¢)￿￿4 rtswrces ￿lj reKwrcts exp￿d￿Tr tr the ptrkxl.

The charity’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 Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 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 includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities 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.
