## SECTION C OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
## **OBJECTIVES**
1. To advance the gospel of the Kingdom of God and Christian religion in bringing God’s deliverance to all believers - physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially and psychologically, so that they can live the life that God promised in His Word 3 John 2 for the benefit of the public through the holding of prayer meetings, teaching, public celebration of religious festivals, life coaching, seminars, one-to-one consultations, sermons, missionary expeditions; outreach to local communities; producing and/or distributing literature on church events and promotion of the Christian religion to enlighten others about the Kingdom of God and the Church of Jesus Christ.
2. To relieve those facing hardship and poverty through provision of material and financial assistance. The relief could be in the form of:
- Provision of clothing, food, drinks and other materials to the needy
- Training to improve quality of life to acceptable standards
- Provision of counselling services including prayers and deliverance
- Financial assistance to members of the congregation facing hardships.
## **ACTIVITIES**
The church has been able to meet the needs of congregants most of whom have testified life changing events in their lives to the extent that some increasingly offer donations towards the building fund, free will offerings, payment of tithes and thanksgiving to bless the Church of God and its missions. The main mission supported is a school orphanage in Kenya, however the Prophet and Chair visited Pakistan and Croatia to minister and evangelise the gospel during the year.
Sunday services are held in rented premises every Sunday. Bible study is held every Wednesday and Prayer service every Friday through online platforms. Some members are supported through phone calls and one-to-one guidance sessions.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims, objectives and activities.
The donations received are not only used for equipping the church with instruments, transport, allowances for volunteers and rentals, but also used for the welfare of the needy in society. The grant making policy provides guidance on who can benefit from the church’s welfare fund which includes missionary work. Food donations were done in December as part of Christmas celebrations and support to the needy in Northampton.

## SECTION D ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The church has continued to grow physically and spiritually since its formation with a congregation of over 300.

A Church Building Fund was established initiated by congregants and savings are increasing and kept securely with the aim of purchasing a building in future.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DIVINE HOLY SPIRIT INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2023 which are set out above.
## **Responsibilities of the trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 statements below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matters has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities; have not been met; or
3. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. A few advisory matters have however been given to ensure that cash withdrawals are reduced.
