## **Objectives and Activities**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of the
charity as set out in its governing
document|Para 1.17|To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the
public in accordance with the
Statements of Beliefs mainly, but not
exclusively through the provision of facilities for
Christian training and service and the
provision of assistance to the wider Christian church in
its ministries in such parts of
Africa and the world as the Trustees may from time to
time think fit andto fulfil such
other purposes which are exclusively charitable
according to the law of England and
Wales and are connected with the charitable work of
the charity.|
|Summary of the main activities in
relation to those purposes for the
public benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The main activities are the support and
encouragement of local churches and their leadership
mainly through the ministry of Lordsway Ministries
International, a Zambian registered church
organization.
We provide financial support to enable the trans local
ministry and visitation of churches that would
otherwise not be possible.
We provide financial and practical assistance to
pastors whose local churches are not financially strong
enough to be able to sustain their support, thus
enabling them to focus on their work and the growth
of their church rather than just survival.
We resource mission trips to different areas, and
initiatives designed to encourage and strengthen
leadership at all levels.
We host pastors’ retreats, aimed at those carrying
overall responsibility for their churches, providing,
teaching,training,encouragement and refreshment.|

## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main achievements
of the charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s work has
made to the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider benefits
to society as a whole.|Para 1.20|In this reporting year the general unrestricted income
of the charity was at a similar level to last year
(£10,236). The difference was because in the previous
year a restricted donation of £2.037 was given for a
pastors’ retreat, hence an overall income reduction for
this year.
£2,855 was used to meet overhead costs for the
ministry in Zambia, including utility costs, vehicle costs,
and administration. This is largely unchanged from the
previous year. These funds enable the effective
function of Lordsway Ministries in its role, overseeing
the work of the local churches there. The churches are
unable to sustain the umbrella ministry and so our
partnership achieves what they cannot.
£5,301 was used to support pastors, with subsistence
expenses, medical assistance, rent support, training
and transport. Without this support pastors would
find the basic costs of living unsustainable and it would
be impossible to exercise an effective ministry. Local
churches are unable to meet these costs alone.
£279 was used in funding mission trips to different
churches in the network.
£206 was the cost of administrating the ministry in the
UK includingbank transfer charges.|
