## NEWLIFE CHURCH SUNDERLAND
## 17th ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 2023 TO DECEMBER 2023
This report presents a brief summary of the spiritual, mental, and physical growth of NewLife church, Sunderland, for the year 2023.
## **General Church Report**
The last general body meeting was conducted on Sunday the 29th January 2023 and the annual report for previous year was approved and seconded by Brother Binu Mathunni Rachel and Brother Winny Issac, respectively. Since then, the church has experienced significant growth in all the arenas of its services towards God and Christian community. Throughout the year God`s grace led our church marvelously and miraculously.
This year our church operated in 17 different ministries, an increase of 4 more departments compared to last year. This bears a testament to our increasing service mentality. We have ministry teams serving church community through Choir and worship, English (Kids/Youth) Worship, Ladies, Sunday School, Youth Talent, Young Professionals and Students, Prayer Cell, Evangelism, Technical and Media, PA System, Hospitality, Purchasing, Church Hall Management, Official and Legal, Transportation, Health and Safety and Magazine Editorial.
Our normal Sunday Services begin with Sunday School for youngsters at 2:15 PM followed by our main church service from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
Similar to last year, we have witnessed a continued physical growth in our church membership due to migrating families and students, settling in various parts of North East England. Our current membership stands at 152 attending members, from 37 families and includes a 30-member strong bachelor community. Our members attend these church services from various parts of North East England covering Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Durham, Gateshead, Birtley, Chester-Le-Street, North Shields, and Long Benton.
We continued our multilingual worship and live translation provided by our Dr. Cecil Cherian Lukose and Brother Rooble Varghese, for the benefit of our members coming from various language backgrounds.
## **Fasting and Intercessory Prayer**
Our church organizes an hour of intercessory prayer on the zoom platform every alternative Saturday from 7:00 PM onwards.
On the first weekend of every month, the church organizes a 3-day fasting prayer in hybrid Zoom plus in-person format and the members participate in these meetings with great spiritual hunger. Guest pastors are invited for these fasting meetings, and they offer blessed sessions sharing from word of God and this year we had 8 guest pastors.
1
The Sunday following fasting prayer, Lord supper is conducted offering people a chance to come closer to God by remembering the sufferings of Lord Jesus Christ.
Our general church records are as follows:
Marriages - This year we celebrated the marriage of three godly couples - Brother Jobin Ajith Kumar Smitha and Sister Anp Meledathu Mariyam, Brother Joel Saji Mamen and Sister Akhila Elsa Prince and Brother Jijo Reji and Sister Aleena Sosa Romaji.
Birth - By God’s grace our church members were blessed with two new baby births this year. We saw gods care and protection during the birth of Master Jeziel Kaniyadan Linju, son of Brother Linju Eldhose and Sister Christy Mathew, and Master Jonathan Lael Jobin, son of Brother Jobin Antony and Sister Subitha Surendran.
Dedication - This year we had 5 dedication services – Master Samuel Tom Feby, son of Brother Feby Thomas and Sister Ashley Eldhose, Miss Emily Ann Shinu, daughter of Brother Shinu Yohannan and Sister Sneha Shinu, Master Jeziel Kaniyadan Linju, son of Brother Linju Eldhose and Sister Christy Mathew, Miss Lianna Joel, daughter of Brother Joel Padipurackal Abraham and Sister Merlin Mohan and Master Jonathan Lael Jobin, son of Brother Jobin Antony and Sister Subitha Surendran. These dedication services were conducted by Pastor Prince Mathew.
House Purchases - This year 2 of our families were blessed with a home of their own - Brother Rejoy Thoppurathu Varghese and family, Brother Joel P Abraham and family. Retirement: This year we thanked God for retirement of our Joseph Manadan who successfully completed his secular job at McDonald’s fast-food chain of restaurants.
Death - By God’s grace and protection we did not have to encounter any death in our church. However, our church members have gone through bereavement of their near and dear ones and church as family was able to offer comfort and condolences.
Baptisms - We didn’t have any baptisms this year and this is something we as a church should sincerely pray for in the new year.
Membership - We are continuing with the membership of Assemblies of God Great Britain and we have been given a one-year certificate which was renewed until 1st August 2024
.
Our members always had the freedom and encouragement to bring any issues, problems, or doubts to the notice of the church committee without any hesitation and all those issues brought to the attention were dealt with in a professional manner and sorted out on the basis of word of God.

## **Choir and Worship**
At the start of this year, our choir was led by Brother Sam George, and he did this with great passion and dedication. During the year, Brother Sam George and family received a call to start a new ministry and decided to resign from their church responsibilities, and terminating their membership with NewLife Church, Sunderland. Thereafter, the worship was led by Pastor Prince Mathew with weekly organization by Brother Feby Thomas, Brother Rijo Varghese and Brother Rejoy Thoppurathu Varghese, on a rotational basis along with support with rest of the choir team. The choir team invested a lot spiritually and physically, to create a divine atmosphere during worship time and help church members to experience the presence of the heavenly father. Our choir leaders and team organized blessed musical evening programs like Focus Youth Retreat 2023 and Nadha Nin Sannidhyam Mathi 2023, where they sang along with blessed servants of God like Dr. Blessan Memana. The choir has developed a development and inclusion pathway to include budding and established musical talents from our church into various forms of worship.
## **Ladies Ministry**
Ladies’ ministry was Coordinated by Sister Pretty Mary in a blessed way. A ladies meeting was conducted every alternative week on the Zoom platform. They spent time praying for various prayer requests of the church and for every meeting a member was chosen to share from Word of God, giving a chance for spiritual growth. This year ladies offered a financial support for the education of two children in India from their ladies fund. They are making preparations for a Special Ladies Conference in 2024.
## **Sunday School Ministry**
Last year we had a blessed Sunday School Ministry. Sister Lucy Prince continued her role as Headmistress this year as well and along with her we had a great lineup of teachers. We had Sister Akhila Elsa Prince, , Sister Sini Mathew, Sister Pretty Mary Abraham, Sister Anitta Kuriakose, Sister Jeffy Abraham, Sister Bency Sam George, as main teachers, and Sister Aksa James, Sister Steffy Saji, Sister Blessy K Johnson, Sister Teena Kevin as standby teachers for our 6 classes. By the end of the year, we have 28 students divided in 6 different classes according to their age. We conducted the annual Sunday School examination on 17th December 2023. Last year we compiled children’s song into a song book and a printed version was handed over to all of our youngsters to use during their memory verse time. It has proved to be a great blessing for these kids both within and outside the church. A special appreciation to all the Sunday school staff as they managed their teaching lessons by themselves without adding burden onto the Sunday School Headmistress.
3
In the new Sunday School year, we are planning to increase the number of classes to 7 and planning to add a pre-nursery class as well.
## **English (Kids/Youth) Worship**
The English worship aimed at developing the younger generation was led by Brother Subin Sabu. They implement great atmosphere of worship. They themselves showed an example by preparing word of God tailored for reaching out to our younger crowd and training them to deliver powerful word of God. It was a blessing to see parents give the same importance to English worship as to the Malayalam service.
## **Youth Talent Ministry**
Last year Sister Anitta Kuriakose led the development of youth talent and did an excellent work in bringing out the best in our kids and youngsters. The youth ministry team organized excellent talent meetings on the third Sunday of every month, with very interesting and unique programs presented by our youngsters and elders alike. Last year we had our Vacation Bible School (VBS) done in collaboration with Excel Ministries on 18th and 19th August 2023. The event was coordinated by Sister Anitta Kuriakose and Sister Lucy Prince. The team organized an excellent two-day event which was a blessing to all, followed by an electrifying evangelism rally through the streets of Sunderland which the kids and youngsters found very engaging. The department also worked along with Choir and Media wing to put up an evening of musical blessing under the name of Focus Youth Retreat 2023. This was organized on 26th May 2023, which provided a platform for singing talents.
## **Young Professional and Students Ministry**
We have a service dedicated to our young professionals and university students where they can open up and discuss various issues and engage in intercessory prayers. This team is coordinated by Sister Akhila Prince. Energetic youth have covered a wide variety of activities from presenting lively skit programs to an indepth discussions on socio-political-spiritual issues.
This year we organized our annual church trip to Whitby and Scarborough, and it was coordinated by Sister Akhila Prince. The trip was a great success to refresh youngsters and parents alike and gave a good opportunity to strengthen our brotherly bond with various sporting events. The highlight of the event was the “Pothichoru” organized by the hospitality team which brought in authentic Kerala recipes in authentic traditional Kerala food packing.
## **Prayer Cell**
At the start of this year, Sister Bency Sam was coordinating the prayer cell responsibilities and later handed over to Sister Merlin Joel. We combined the responsibilities of chain prayer,
4
area-wise cottage meetings and intercessory prayer into one ministry. The Intercessory chain prayer conducted on Saturday morning is the main spiritual support behind all our events and church services. Both coordinators led an amazing ministry this last year, diligently collecting prayer requests from the Friday testimonies and sharing them to prayer participants on Saturday morning along with their scheduled time slot.
We held our area-wise cottage meeting this year and coordinators made a yearlong plan to give the members advanced notice of the cottage meeting in their area. Area wise meeting takes place in 4 areas as of now: Newcastle 1, Newcastle 2, Durham and Sunderland with one family from each area hosts cottage meeting each week.
## **Evangelism Ministry**
Evangelism Ministry was led by Brother Rijo Varghese in a blessed way. The team conducted a total of 9 tract distribution events in various parts of the North-East UK. This included 5 area wise door to door tract distribution and 4 outreach events. These special outreach events included a beach outreach, 2 special outreaches for musical night event and one special Christmas seasonal outreach program. The Christmas seasonal outreach was especially important as we had councilor Dr. Juna Sathian joining us to share the seasonal greeting to the masses. Evangelism team got themselves self-reliant by purchasing a dedicated power generation system for external events. This year we designed and printed church T shirts and hoodies to be used to make our evangelism outreach even more engaging.
The team launched a new program to develop tract writing talent in-house and as a part of it, three ladies participated in writing tracts as per guidance from holy spirit. Sister Lucy Prince, Sister Merlin, and Sister Blessy Rijo wrote thought thoughtprovoking tract in a brief format. These tracts were translated into English and both versions of these tracts were printed for tract distribution.
The evangelism and choir team organized a special musical night with the great servant of God Dr. Blessan Memana as special guest on 7th October 2023. This was an important event in the 2023 as a lot of new members joined us to be blessed by the service of dear servant of God through his songs and testimonies. The tracts were released by Dr. Blessan Memana, during this musical evening event. For the first time our program was live telecasted by Powervision TV media, blessing countless other watching us through their social media platform

## **Technical and Media**
Technical and media ministry was led by Brother Jobin Mathew. Brother Abraham prince provided strong support from the Alpha Media Productions Ltd team for various events. We improved our social media coverage and were successful in getting the live video coverage of our events to bigger masses. The team also regularly edits and promotes promotional material edited from our weekly meetings and outreach programs.
This year we also launched a collaborative social media platform with Powervision TV, led by Brother Abraham Prince, Brother Jobin Mathew and Sister Sneha Shinu. This initiative is called Powervision TV Europe Ltd.
The church website was operating on an old platform and this year we undertook a massive project to completely revamp our church website. The new design and development of this website is performed by METS Technologies Ltd. This new revamped website is planned to be launched early in the year 2024.
We also launched a Whatsapp channel for our church to promote church events.
## **PA System**
Our PA system was coordinated by Brother Linju Eldhose and team, and they have coordinated the development of this system with better mixers and powerful speakers.
Our youngsters Master Sharon Thomas and Master Joash Winny have trained well under guidance of PA system coordinators and can successfully operate projectors even for big programs like Nadha Nin Sanidhyam Mathi 2023.
## **Hospitality**
Hospitality and Love Feast is another ministry which everyone enjoyed right across the age group. This year it was led by Sister Preetha Sunny and she was supported by a large number of members in preparing and serving the food. They coordinated the preparation of a love feast with different members of church and this coordination was much more effective after fasting prayer for preparation of Kanji and Payar. Initially the team set out with a vision of one meal per month along with Kanji but were successful in organizing around 2 to 3 meals per month. They also organized a special “pothichoru” program during church annual trip in which families brought in authentic Kerala recipes in authentic traditional Kerala food packing. Another major contribution of the hospitality team was in organizing food rota for families with newborn babies and it was appreciated by all. The team also supported a food rota organized for Mr. Jospeh Manadan when he underwent a fracture in his hand.
One repeated request from the hospitality coordinator is for all the families to partake in meal preparation for Sundays, so that it doesn’t become a burdened responsibility of a few.

## **Purchasing**
Our purchasing coordinator Brother Vinod Varughese ensured continuous provision of snacks, covering the Sundays when meal wasn’t provided. It was the effort of the purchasing team that members never felt a shortage of cups, plates, spoons, milk, or any other things we took for granted. They execute bulk purchases to save costs for the church, thereby becoming more cost efficient.
## **Church Hall Management**
The church hall management was led by Brother Binu Mathunni Rachel, and he did an exceptional job of delegating the responsibilities of church hall set up and wrapping up, not only for weekly meetings but also for special events. This year we used three different halls to conduct our meetings. We started in City Life Church but because of our growing numbers we felt a need to move our church hall from City Life Church, Sunderland. After much prayer and consideration, we moved out our Sunday Service to Parish Church Hall, Whitburn, from 2nd April 2023 onwards. We also used All Saints Parish Hall, Cleadon for a few weeks during the end of last year. This was due to some refurbishment being carried out in the Parish Church Hall. We also hired out external venues to conduct our special events like Nadha Nin Sannidhyam Mathi 2023 in Seaham Town Hall, Seaham. Also, we required the church hall to be set up and decorated for other events like VBS and Focus Youth Retreat 2023. This meant that the church hall setup was a very impactful ministry throughout last year.
## **Official and Legal**
For all our official and legal requirements, Brother Abraham Prince was working tirelessly behind the scenes. This responsibility included submitting the church report and finance to the Charity Commission and reclaiming the gift aid, submitting DBS for each member working with youngsters. We have started the process to make a church policy in line with the requirements of Assemblies of God, Great Britain.
## **Transportation**
Transport coordination was coordinated by Brother Jobin Antony and team. They undertook a perfect clockwork synchronization to arrange transportation for pick up and drop off to people from all the North-East region. This was very well executed and was a key reason for new people attending our special events like VBS 2023, Focus Youth Retreat 2023 and Nadha Nin Sannidhyam Mathi 2023. Our members also appreciated this service during our church outing and MPA talent competition.
7
## **Health and Safety**
Sister Lucy Prince also serves as our health and safety coordinator and maintains a general information file on every student with information’s such as allergies, the first contact person, and consent to take them to hospital in an emergency. Sunday School also maintains the attendance record of all students. In case of fire emergency, Sister Lucy Prince is also trained to be the official fire marshal and will lead the evacuation procedures. As a church, we are thankful that no significant health and safety-related incident happened this year despite us undertaking multiple special events, outreach programs and church trips. We secured special permission for our Christmas outreach program by reaching out to Councillor Dr. Juna Sathian to show our agreement with the health and safety policies.
## **Magazine Editorial**
This year we also launched a new initiative to collate articles from our church members and publish it as a souvenir magazine for our church members to remember important milestones in our church growth. Brother Agin John Varghese will be spearheading this initiative in the new year with the expected souvenir launch planned for summer 2024.
## **New Business Ventures and Collaborations**
This year by God’s grace our members have entered entrepreneurship initiative by starting new business ventures. Brother Jobin Mathew started a catering business named as Swaad Catering Ltd., Sunderland. Brother Abraham Prince launched Alpha Media Productions Ltd, providing sound systems, live streaming, and video editing services for public events. A new wing of Powervision TV called Powervision TV Europe Ltd was registered under the name of Brother Abraham Prince, Brother Jobin Mathew and Sister Sneha Shinu.
## **Special Awards and Appreciations**
Last year we honored everyone who did exceedingly well in their spiritual, studies, professional and cocurricular lives. Our church team – Dr. Jomon Joy and Sister Aksa James won the first prize in the group quiz organized at 20th MPA conference, Manchester and it was a moment of great joy for all of us. We presented mementos to all our students who graduated from their university courses. And finally, we have our prize distribution and appreciation for students and participants of Sunday School examination and Talent Test Program. We also honored the families and individuals leaving North-East region for various reasons with a gift voucher.

## **Financial Ministry**
Last year God blessed us with a positive financial standing and support from each of our church member was crucial in making this happen. The general income of church consist of offering taken during meetings and regular tithe contribution from our members. As a registered charity we are entitled to claim gift aid on the contribution made from the tax paying members. The summary of the church finance is presented in the sections ahead.
_Church Accounting_ **:** Probooks Accounting Software developed by Alpha Media Productions Ltd. was used to perform all financial services of church finance this year. We also employed the services of Otax Accounting Firm to perform auditing of church finances in line with the legal requirement of the country.
_Ministry support_ _**:**_ We offer financial support to six christian ministries in various parts of India supporting three ministries in Orissa, two in Punjab and one in Delhi.
_Special fund raising:_ Church members very generously supported all of the special fund raising made for events like VBS 2023, ladies ministry support and Nadhan Nin Sannidhyam Mathi 2023 musical night event.
_Equipment donation:_ One of our brother made a special donation of an Epson projector to the church, which is a great blessing to all of our events.
_Sunday school offering_ : Sunday school started a small offering collection from Sunday school teaching children the importance of generous donation to the next generation.
## **Core Committee**
Last year God enabled Pastor Prince Mathew to lead the church as the president of our church. The previous committee and coordinator group was completely dissolved after report submission. Thereafter, the church members participated in voting for a core committee selecting Dr.Cecil Cherian as church secretary, Brother Shinu Yohannan as treasurer. Brother Sam George, and Brother Sunny George were voted in as executive committee members. Additionally, Brother Jobin Antony and Brother Feby Thomas were selected as Assistant secretary and Assistant treasurer respectively. The executive committee held 7 meeting last year to discuss various matters of church and these meeting minutes will be logged in an online database for future reference. The committee also conducted four combined coordinator meetings with all the departmental coordinators. This report after its final approval, along with other meeting minutes and detailed treasurers report for this year will also be logged in the same database. We want to thank you sincerely for all your spiritual and physical support, engaging discussions and brotherly love during the last year. Let us work together in the field of our master and reap the ripe harvest.
God bless.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **DD / MM / YYYY** .
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
**Independent** [The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [insert name of applicable listed body]]. _Delete_ [ ] _if not applicable._
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
