Section C Objectives and activities

To advance the Christian faith in such parts of Asia and the world for the benefit of the public in accordance with the statements of belief appearing in the schedule by:

Additional details of objectives and activities

Hope For Life was started in August 2015 by Chris Tapp whose desire was to provide a means for young adults from the Dyak tribes of Borneo to have the opportunity to grow in a relationship with God, to be discipled and mentored in the Christian Life, and to have opportunities to receive training and education at an appropriate level to give them a firm foundation onto which they could build their lives and be able to provide for their future families and give into and enhance their community.

From this Hope For Life was formally inaugurated as a UK Charity on July 27[th] 2019.

In July 2021 Hope For Life was supporting 1 student at school and fully supporting 8 students at university, whilst paying university fees for 3 others. During the year 7 students completed their studies and Supi discontinued his studies. HFL also began supporting Sylwanus and Takas with university fees.

So by June 2022 HFL was fully supporting 2 university students, and paying fees for 3 others. HFL also continued support for Yogi’s school fees, and Yanti’s living costs.

Hope For Life has supported 4 of its beneficiaries in relocating and transitioning from university to work. This has included the purchase of 2 motorbikes in Kalimantan in January 2022, whist selling 2 of the motorbikes in Yogya in April 2022 that were no longer needed.

Hope For Life has provided medical care for its beneficiaries, and also for some close family members.

Hope For Life works closely with several local Indonesian pastors to ensure its beneficiaries receive ongoing and appropriate pastoral support as part of their commitment to church life.

Chris Tapp was able to visit Indonesia in April 2022 for 5 weeks for the first time since the covid pandemic.

All of the above are designed to fulfil our charitable obligations to benefit the public.

Future Growth

The charity is still operating at (beyond) full capacity and is not currently in a position to support further individuals. Any future individuals that HFL may support would undergo an Application process by invitation of the trustees, would need to have been known to at least one of the trustees for at least a number of months, and be recommended by their local pastor. The trustees would consider any such applications on their merit, and in the light of sponsorship and funding available. The decision of the trustees will be absolute and binding.

HFL continues to seek further volunteers who could support us in our work, and in particular anyone with accounting or secretarial (minute taking) skills. We also continue to seek support in fund raising (including approaching grant-making charities) and developing appropriate sponsorship programmes.

Section D Achievements and performance

Marten Graduation: Marten completed his Diploma in August and returned to Kalimantan. Graduation ceremonies were still on-line. HFL facilitated his parents and brother to travel to Pontianak to watch the ceremony in September and also to have formal photographs and a celebration. Marten returned to his village but found the job he was hoping to take required a full degree. Regrettably the option to upgrade was no longer available and so Marten looked for alternative jobs. For a time he worked in the gold mines. In January there was the opportunity for

Eska Graduation: Eska was helping in the covid vaccination programme in Yogya and then graduated with her Diploma in Nursing on 12th October. Again this was an on-line celebration.

him to apply for the role of leader in his village and he was duly elected in January. This is a (poorly) paid Government post. Marten continues to be busy in this role.

All our Yogya students were able to join in with the photo-shoots and celebrations afterwards. It was unfortunately impossible for Adi, and for Eska's dad and family to attend and so a second photo shoot was arranged in Sanggau Kalimantan. Eska left Yogya at the end of October, and Adi and her family met her in Sanggau. Eska then returned to her village for 2 weeks. In her village she contracted typhus, and then returned to Sintang. Here she had to register with the local authority and looked for a job. She then had measles!

Dani graduation Nov 21. Dani had returned to his village and married. However, he returned to Pontianak and then Yogya and HFL supported him to compete his degree. He graduated on-line in Nanga Pinoh and his parents were able to attend. He is now living in Central Kalimantan and is working in a business organisation.

Adi & Eska engaged She was able to return to her village for Christmas and on 28th December she became engaged to Adi! Adi was only able to stay for 2 nights before returning to his own village for 3 days and then back to his job. Eska returned to Sintang early January

and has

now started nursing job. As so often seems to be the case in Indonesia she will not receive any salary for the first 3 months whilst she is "training". She has found a small room to live in and also has taken a second job in a pharmacy to earn some money. HFL have continued to support her until she received her salary at the end of March. Eska is also considering studying further to obtain her full Nursing degree

Xmas celebrations

Our guys enjoyed a time of celebration over Christmas and were actively involved in CornerStone church activities. HFL was able to send them each a small Christmas gift –

some card games to help them spend time together and bond more with each other. Christmas day was a special occasio at church. Pastor Surya and his wife sent Christmas greetings to us all.

Transitions / new motors

• Gati with village children he was teaching. Two second-hand motorbikes were purchased for use in Sintang. These will be used by Eska and Darlin. In the first instance they will be able to use them free of charge but in due course they will be asked to pay a monthly “rental”

Tono has been working hard supporting and helping many in his village. In October he was inaugurated by the Sintang Regent (area) as a area leader for his village. A such he has responsibility to ensure Government initiatives progress. In September he visited the capital, Pontianak to discuss electricity provision for his area. We are very proud of his achievement. He is pictured here with 4 of his friends, all of whom are known to us, and HFL have also supported with their education. 3

Section D Achievements and performance

During most of the year Chris continued to hold regular video calls with our young people and taught and discipled them in basic Christian principles. Topics such as Foundations of our faith, Salvation, Forgiveness, Emotional Healing and Growth, the Father Heart of God and others were covered. This provided valuable additional support to their church commitments at a time Chris was unable to visit due to covid restrictions.

In April Handono completed his degree. He had worked particularly hard during his final semester to complete his thesis in Government Administration. The first picture shows him on a visit to the village community project he was involved in.

I (Chris) was able to visit Indonesia in April – May as soon as the borders were open. After a 2 day delay in Doha I arrived in Bali (the only way in at the time) and was able to meet Yanti for the first time. She is studying Theology along with Pawi and Ali from Roni David’s village. They proudly showed me around the Cornerstone campus (Ps Surya was able to arrange scholarships for them). It was also a great surprise and joy to meet up with Melia who had stayed at our house for a time at LWV. There was much to catch up with, and learn especially as she was in a time of transition. I stayed with Ps Ongky and his family. In 2 short days I was off to Yogya and then onto Kalimantan, accompanied by Sah-Roni. We hired a car in Kalimantan and Sah-Roni was my co-driver and chaperone for the fist week, then Adi supported me for the remainder of the time in Kalimantan. It was great to meet up with Adi and Eska, and also Renjos. The time flew by, but I was also able to meet Ps Mustakim and pray

With him over land he had just purchased to build a school and Asrama. It was also good to meet Sylwanus and to speak at their campus. Ps Mustakim s one of the lecturers.

On Good Friday I was able to speak at Cornerstone church and it was a time of great blessing, with many prayed for after the service. Then it was time to return to Java, via Jakarta where I met up with Ps John Peter and spoke at his church. I was also able to spend a day with him meeting up with some

Section D Achievements and performance young men whom I had known at LWV. The final week was spent back in Yogya and this was a time of further bonding, ministry and planning for the future. We also managed a day at the water Park on the last Saturday.

One of the challenging experiences is being asked to pray for elderly people in hospital. Conditions are often far from ideal, and usually all the family is present hoping for a miracle. I usually try to convey that I will pray for God to bring peace to the person and an assurance of salvation. This dear man died 2 days later. (End photo below – I was able to go with Renjos to his wife’s village – this is the first time I had met her, and also it is the village of Junaidi who was part of the original electrical team at LWV – great to meet him and his wife and now 5 year old daughter. You can see more photos and a fuller report on our website. (Also there you can view some of the updates which give fuller accounts of the year’s activities.)

Sah-Roni and Darlin graduated on May 22. Sah-Roni had returned to Kalimantan with me in April to visit his family – It was sad saying Goodbye knowing that I was only just going to miss the graduation. He came back to Yogya the week before, and Marten (Darlin’s boyfriend – soon to be engaged) was able to bring his parents and Darlin’s sisters. (Unfortunately, Darlins parents were unable to travel).

The ceremonies were among the first live events since covid and both families were very proud. HFL facilitated the travel arrangements and also enabled a celebration day out at the beach and celebration BBQ.

Section D Achievements and performance

Yefta and Rachel have continued to develop their close Godly relationship, and plan to get married next year, HFL took over complete support for Yefta’s final year of study. He is an

amazingly talented architect designer and his final project was based on designing an Eco school. He produced an amazing set of detailed drawings and research for this project. He completed his course in April and hopes to graduate in September. He moved to Bali in May and has secured a good job as a Media manager for a NGO. Yefta and Rachel have a real heart for ministry and are looking at ways in the future to work in a free lance capacity so that they can be flexible and free to do the Lord’s work. Sarik continues to work hard and is finishing his final project for his agricultural degree. Here he is preparing for his final practical exam at which he must present his project report. He should finish his degree in August / September Nathan (one of our trustees) attended a wedding in Sarawak, Malaysia on Borneo in June and so took opportunity visit our guys. He is a particularly close friend of Handono’s from his own time

at LW V. He was able to travel to Sintang and Pontianak and meet up with and encourage many of our young people. When I was visiting I met up with Bambang and Lucy, his wife, and was able to stay in her parents’ house with them in Pontianak. I also visited them in Anjuran where Bambang works. On June3rd Lucy gave birth to a lovely baby girl. She was 3 weeks premature, but is doing very well. They have named her Geona Christiani. Many congratulations to them. Section E Financial rev ie w

At various times again during the year loans were made to the charity. Unfortunately, these have increased considerably this year and the charity is in real terms in a worse finance position than the previous year. Outstanding loans now stand at over £7000. However, it is anticipated that with fewer beneficiaries in 2022-2023 that this debt can be reduced, providing the present level of income is maintained or hopefully increased.

Flight costs have increased this year, though the costs of Chris Tapp’s flights to Indonesia are included in the Charity accounts. The credit card payments shown in the accounts are due to administrative restraints in booking flights and so these are paid for personally by Chris Tapp, and then refunded by the charity. The charity funds each beneficiary who is studying away from home once a year with either a one way (where the family are able to help) or return flight to allow then to return to their families and villages. This year there were additional costs involved to enable family members to attend Graduation Ceremonies.

Further financial review details

The charity’s main source of income continued to be from personal sponsorship / donations made by various individuals. HFL did not receive any grants or funding from any other charities or public bodies.
