Vinesong Fund Transfer

The trustees of Vinesong Ministries, a UK Charity that oversees the missions of Vinesong Gospel Choir, determined to close the charity due to the retirement of the founder and leader John Watson and to transfer some of its assets to TGM due to the communality of ministry objectives.

At the trustees meeting of 8[th] November, the trustees of TGM agreed to accept a transfer of funds from Vinesong Trust to the amount of £500,000. This was done in accordance with Charity Commission regulations which allow for transfers of funds between charities of similar charitable objectives and in lieu of the fact that Vinesong Ministries is closing.

Whilst the funds are to be given for the general objectives of the ministry, TGM used £220,000 + fees to purchase a retirement apartment and part of the remnant to pay a pension of £1000 and utility bills for missionary John Watson until his death. It was agreed that part of the other funds would be used towards TGM ministry objectives especially to cover the relocation costs of Giles Stevens to the USA.

Make America Born Again (MABA) Launch

On arriving in the USA the ministry has sought to find effective strategies to lead Americans to Christ. Giles made it clear that the only reason he was leaving Brazil for the States was in order to ‘have fruit among’ them. He felt strongly that just as the Lord had led Paul to leave the abundant spiritual harvest in Asia in order to reach into the heart of the Roman empire so too the Lord was leading him to leave the big church environment in Brazil to reach the US – the Rome of today in terms of influence. Indeed, he was coming to the US to: “Make America Born Again.”

“Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also , just as among the other Gentiles. I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also .”

Romans 1:13-15

7/14

The Great Mission

After some months of prayer, fasting, and study of local church growth, a strategy came into Giles’ heart to bring people to Christ through the power of persuasion as well as proclamation. He noted that whilst Paul is known as the great proclaimer of the gospel, seven times in the Book of Acts it mentions Paul persuading people to believe in Christ. The MABA initiative was thus born to have both micro and macro gatherings.

The macro gatherings are rallies held in town squares where the gospel is proclaimed. The micro gatherings are held in public spaces around a table where passersby are asked if they agree or disagree with a gospel truth thus engaging them in conversation. In Christ-like fashion the discussion is to attract sinners and to alert the self-righteous!

The term MABA is similar to the conservative political movement but not the same. Our advertising clarifies that MABA is spiritual, not political and based on the revelation that the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.

Pilot micro-events have been held at Fort Myers Beach and at a fair in downtown Fort Myers. Others are planned for Lakes Park and Florida Gulf Coast University. Results have shown that the strategy is very effective.

Some instances are listed here:

• An atheist answered the question. Though he was not open to persuasion, those who listened in realized the blindness of his perspective.

• A Catholic family realized that sacraments can’t save and concluded that justification was by faith alone.

• A same-sex couple f elt the freedom to come to the microphone and discuss the way to get to heaven with us.

• Two former addicts agreed with our statement that they did not deserve to go to heaven. Then they gave powerful testimonies of their transformation through God’s grace.

• A team of tennis players from a local college tournament poured out questions and then, satisfied with the answers, asked how they could be born again.

• A street preacher, who normally terrorized passersby so that they fled from him, was amazed at how we were attracting the same people. He listened and learned and wants to join us next time.

• A teenage girl was convinced of her need for Christ and believed on the spot. Her elder sister watched and listened and then joined her sibling.

8/14

The Great Mission

• A number of people said they were going to heaven because of Jesus, but could not explain why. We helped them understand that it is through Christ’s work, not theirs, through His goodness, not their own. They were so thankful that they could now explain their faith more clearly to others.

Team Members

The TGM ministry team currently consists of:

• Giles Stevens (Evangelist & Director)

• Titus Stevens (Volunteer Youth Evangelist)

• Daniel Stevens (Volunteer Schools Evangelist & Social Media)

• Neilon Rocha (Book-keeping)

• Silvia Stevens (Chaplain to primary schools and nursing homes)

Plans for 2026

The above-listed team were all involved in various TGM evangelistic initiatives across multiple continents during the year.

The charity’s primary focus during the year was the organisation of MABA events in Florida and other US states. In addition, Titus Stevens launched ministry activities in Brazil, and the trustees are considering the potential launch of activities in the United Kingdom during the summer period.

The charity’s bookkeeping records and statutory accounts were prepared by Rocha Consulting , who provided accounting and bookkeeping support to the trustees.

This report and the accompanying accounts are submitted to the board of trustees for their review and approval.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE GREAT MISSION

Responsibilities of the Trustees

The trustees of The Great Mission are responsible for the preparation of the charity’s accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) and for ensuring that the accounts comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

I report on my independent examination of the charity’s accounts for the year ended 1 April 2025, carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.

My examination was conducted in accordance with the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. An independent examination involves 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 where necessary.

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 charity has failed to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; or

2. that the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or

3. that the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning their form and content as 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 required for an independent examination.

I have no matters to report in respect of which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts.
