Jesus Christ ’ s Great Ministry UK 


## **Aims and Purposes** 

Jesus Christ The Great Ministry (JCGM) has the duty of propagating the mission of the Church such as evangelism, sharing the Gospel of Christ, attending to the sick and the disabled and to advance Christianity. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

JCGM is committed to equip as many people as possible to become soul winners and to worship at our church and to become part of our church community. JCGM maintains an overview of worship throughout the local community near our church and involving as many groups as possible throughout the whole of England. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, bible study, music ministry, sharing the gospel and mini concert. 

When planning our activities for the year, JCGM is strictly guided by the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We enable the members to live out their faith as part of our Christian community through: 

Worship and prayer; learning about the Word of God through the Bible; equipping the members to become soul winners; attending to the spiritual upliftment  of those who are sick, disabled and have less in life; provision of pastoral care for people who work and live near the Church; missionary and outreach work. 

The year that passed 2024 to 2025 was as equally challenging as previous years for JCGM as a Church. It was faced with dwindling membership and some members had simply grown cold in faith. Also, the head pastor and Chairman of the Board of Trustees is still restrained from doing heavy responsibilities and sometimes going t the Philippines for rest and rehabilitation. He is still incapacitated to some degree but still persevering in the ministry and this does not stop JCGM officers and members’ determination to reach as many people as possible and share the gospel of Christ and win as many souls for Christ. The preaching and evangelization is being assisted by guest pastors from other Churches like, The Lord Reigns International Ministry and others. 

This temporary adjustment does not slow down the determination of our Church to pursue our commitment for the ministry. We still conduct our house to house ministry as a method of sharing the Gospel but on a more slower basis. 

To facilitate this work it is still imperative that we adopt the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ while living here on earth and maintain the fabric of the Church of JCGM. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

JCGM is still determined to offer a range of activities during the week and the course of the year that our Church find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling inspite the slow down of recruitment on new membership and in fact loss of some. There is still the Bible Study every Wednesday only on selected members’  homes, prayer meetings every Saturday also on selected members’ homes, although mini concert and street evangelism are temporarily suspended for the time being due to lack of manpower and resources. 

This year had been a slow but steady year for the ministry under extraordinary circumstances primarily brought about by retardation in the health condition of its main pastor, Pstr Victorino Alfaro and desertion of handful of its members who had little or no tolerance to sluggish start of ministry work, plus the termination of the contract for the Church building located at Kilburn Park and owned and managed by the Salvation Army. The whole Church is actively searching for alternative location while in the interim, we conduct Church service via Zoom and personal gathering in Church member’s homes or the Pastor’s Home. Still the biggest setback as far as the ministry is concerned is recruitment and expansion in general. 

Inspite ministry reverses, all are still welcome to attend our regular services in the Church. At present Church members had dwindled to only 10 active membership.  The average Church attendees counted during August 2024 is down to 5 in the hope that this number will increase with the resumption of active recruitment and enhanced Church activity.

On top of our regular services, our Church also offers various services such as water baptism where we thank God for the gift of life, Marriage Ceremonies where public vows are exchanged and blessings of God shared, and Funeral Services where friends and family express their grief and prayer for the redemption of souls. These services are however temporarily suspended for the time being. 

## **Mission and Evangelism** 

Our mission is to advance Christianity is such ways as we see appropriate under the circumstance such as to pastor to every person to receive Jesus Christ as our Saviour; to evangelise souls and equipping them to fulfil their divine destinies in Christ Jesus, to go out and bear fruit and ensure that the fruit remains; to conquer the enemy (the Devil) by healing the sick, deliverance, inner healing and teaching the Word of God; to establish a place of worship; and to pray for and win unbelievers into the faith. 

Our Church tracks distribution citing bible verses and inviting people to the church with details printed are distributed weekly to nearby public places frequented by people such as Kilburn area and Golder’s Green station. We are very thankful to all volunteers of the church in making this effort possible in the best way we can. This tracks and evangelism efforts help invite people to receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour and to teach them about the Word of God. 

Please know that these missions were temporarily suspended due to lack of manpower and resources. 

## **Financial Review** 

Our church is already on its 7[th] year but is still struggling with funds and resources. Inspite such limitation, our church is still maintaining its efforts to spread the good news about the Word of God and invite people to join in our worship and evangelism works. 

At present our funds are still earned through voluntary contribution of our members, and the generosity of donors and sponsors who are supportive of our efforts towards achieving our mission. 

## **Volunteers** 

We thank all the volunteers who work selflessly to make our Church become more effective in evangelising souls and administering the Word of God to those who have no personal relationships with Christ and in recruiting people into the Christian faith. These volunteers have made our church alive, active and inspired. We also thank them for putting efforts to make our service lively and vibrant without any promise of reward but purely on serving God out of love. Although the activities of last year had been very slow and at times passive due to some Church member’s departure and ill-health of our main Pastor. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The method of appointment of charity trustees is set out in the governing document of the trust. The board of trustees of JCGM or Jesus Christ The Great Ministry consists of the incumbent Managing Trustee, Secretary, Treasurer and 2 other trustees. The Managing Trustee and Chairman at the same time is elected by the majority of the board of trustees. 

The board of trustees is responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the church including deciding on how the funds of the church are to be spent.
