Objectives and activities
Tlie principal objective of tlie chai'ity is to advance ihe Christian faith by publi8hii)g ai)d distributing
Bible coui'ses for children and adiilts. These courses are used by various Chrisiian groiips, including
Poslal Bible Schools, churches, other Christian bodies (uid Sclii)ols Ihal work with childi'en and
youi)g people.
The aclivities carried out by the charily lo achieve this obje¢live include-.

creating a syllabus which covers n)ULI) ol. Ihe Bible over a period of year5
translating ihe content into oihcr languages lo make the lessons widely <ic¢essible

different age grades and laiiguage groups for whom individual lessons are intended

The charity aims for its activities to ensure Iliat ils courses are as widely available as possible,
uliinialely enhancing the Bible ki)owledge of all who underiake Ihe lessuns. The charity does not
wish for access lo the courses lo be lirnited by cost. Postal Bible Scliools in the developed world
yPiLdlly iiiake contributions that cover the cost of printed lessons provided to ihem by the charity.
However, as long as the financial resoiirces of B.E.S. allow, tlie ability lo pay contributions is not a
prerequisite for receiving lessons. A sigiiificant percentagre of our printed lessons for the majoi'ily
world is donated by a charity that collaborates with B.r,.s. {8ee next paragraph), and all lessoiis
available on tlie B.E.S. website can be downloaded freely. All training and guidance activities are
conducted at no cliarge.
In recent years, there has been a growing deinand for printed copies of the charity's Bible resources
from Christian groups in Eastern F,urope, Africa, India, South Amei-ica, and other regi0115. These
groups often find it challenging to alford contributions towards printing costs, and B.E.S. lacks the
financial resources to supply Substantial quantities at Lts own expense. This demand is being
addressed by Revival Movement Associalion, a Christian printing and publishing charity based in
County Down, Northern Ireland. They have printed large quantities ot B.E.S. lesson% wid supplied
them free of chargJe io groups in developing countries. The truslees of B.E.S. are imiii¢iiscly
grateful lor all thai R¢vival Movement Association is doing to help make B.E.S. Courses freely and
widely accessible lo tliose tor whoin cost would otherwise present a barrier. Occasionally, Ilie
printing of our resources is arranged in other countries where designated funds have been received
for this purpose. particularly when the quantities required are small or wheii the Revival Movement
AssocialioT] faces shipping issues.
n 2025, tlie Revival Movement Association printed 1.6 million Biblelime booklets foi. BES. 1.2

The income ot the charity arises priiicipally fi'oin Iwo sources. Contributions are made by Poslal
Bible Schools in the UK and Irelaiid foi. tlie cost of printed lessons supplied to tlieni; Ihe income is
reasonably predictable. Tlie reinaiiider of Ihe ii)eonie is Inade up largely ot-donalions from
supporters of the chai'ily (oilier charilies, cliui'cl)es and iiidividuals); this is less predictable. ￿ld

grateful to its wide range of supporters tor providing the finance, whicli allows the work to giY)w.
Total Ineonie increased by £39,391 from £312,529 to £351,920. This was due lo an incease
in funds being received from gifts and legacies. We continue lo receive large one-off
donalioiis Iroiii cliurLlies. individuals aiid irusls.
Expenses decreased by £ I I I,760 Ironi £419,680 to £307,920 in the year ended 31 Decembcr
2025. '1'his was due lo Ihc Lost of tlie International Conference in 2024.
Wherever possible, the trustees avoid entering into substanlial long-term financial commitments,
aiid they undertake aclivitie5 each year as funds allow (particularly in the area ol overseas supporl
Id developmeiit). The c￿￿'11Y contiiiues lo explore opportuiiities to widen the supporter base,
producing newslettei's and oihcr inalerial, and conducting deputation meetings, to make supporiers
and potential suppoiters aware of Ilie charity's woi'k. It is hoped thal these actions will increasc
prayer support and financial support, and also encourage new volunleers lo becoine iiivolved in the
woi'k of the charity. The accounts do nol i'eflect the benefit of 5UPPOrt for the charity, which is
provided by unpdid voluiileers, nor by supportiiig organi5alioiis which Inake ofyice facilities
available- nor do the accounts retlect the value of lesson5 printcd by Revival Movenient
Association, as these are supplied directly to overseas Poslal Bible Schools and other Christian
groups. The charity is grateful for all such support.
Charity law requires the Irust¢es lo prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give
a true and fair view of tlie state of affairs of Ihe chartly and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for
that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required io:
Select suitable accounling policies and then apply them consistently.
Make judgements and estiiiiales tI￿t are reasonable and prudenl.
Prepare the financial statements on an ongoing basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting record5, which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the finaiicial position of the cliarily. They are also I'esponsible for safeguarding
the assets of Ihe charily and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and delection ol.

had been &Tiveii to the slore by our local partner (Ireland Oulreach International). The books
were removed froni sale and henceforth issued free of charge.
LMS Challenges - CTeating Iraining videos in local languages presents logistical difficulties.
For instance, French video production faced delays due lo scheduling conflicts and travel
angemenls. This initiative is a high priority, especially following the large-scale distribution
of French Bibletime materials in Africa by Revival Movemenl. Additionally, protecting the
identities of conlributors from high-risk regions (e.g. China. Iran, MENA) poses security
¢oncems-Ihe use of avatars was explored and used as a solution to this problem.

Testimonies (2): Karen- Carniny Primary School, Northern Ireland - Our school has been
Using B.E.S. Bibletime for inany years now, &iid each leachii)g member of staff agree5 they are SLieh
a valuable resource to have in school. Jiisi having a booklet prepared with thought-provoking
questions is 50 important and lielps the pupils deepen and extend their understanding of Bible
stories and teachiiig. Tht rcsourees are such a great assel in schools, particul&i'ly for Foundalion
Stage teachers who oftcii teach afternoon classes from KS l and KS2, and there has been very
positivc feedback on the new format of the booklets introduced this year. The booklets have
accompaiiyiiig teacher i)otes which are clear. colourful and meaningful, ai)d the tasks are easily
Inaiiagcable within RE lesson times. As a school, we would bc dcvaslated without this resource.
Maiiy thanks for pi-oviding it lo us.
E￿pt - One unforgettable story comes from the remote village of Al-Gezira, 450 km south ol.
Cairo. During a visit to a sniall Methodist church, the team witnessed Iwo children sitling linder a
street lamp late at nighi. Their home had no electricity, bul that didn'l slop then). With their Arabic
Bibletime booklet% in hand, they sal in the glow of the slreeilighi, eagerly studying God's Word and
answering questions. Tliis moment was a vivid reniindei. ol- Biblelime's heart lo bring the light of
the Gospel to every cliild, no matter how remote oi. dirricult iheir Lircun)stances.
Promotional Opportunities:
During 2025, Mr Samuel Balmer, Mr Sievie Walls and Mrs Angela Johnston had numerous Zooms
and in-person deputalioiis with churches lo share what has been happening across the world with
B.E.S. It has been encouraging to see the increase in demand for Bibletime lessons during 2025,
particularly from the UK.
Miscellaneous
Revival Movement Association (International printing) had printed and shipped over 1.6 million
booklets for us by the end of 2025. We are exlrcinely gratetul for our ongoing partnership witli
Revival Movement. Due to the restrictions on printing in Revival Movenient and smaller quantities
required by some intemational partners, sevcral couiilries prinled in-country, including Argentina,
Roinania, Myanmar, the Middle East and Iiidia. Various sub-committees met during the year to
manage tlie high deniand in many areas ofthe work within B.E.S. (Resource Committee,
International Sub-committee and Training Commiltee).

Financial Review
The income of the charity arises principally from two sources. Contributions are made by Postal
Bible Schools in the UK and li'eland lor tlie cost of printed lessons supplied to then). Ihc incorne is
i'easonably predictable. The I'eiiiaiiidei. of the incoiiie is iiiade up lai'gely ol- donations from
supporters of the charity (other charities, churclies and individuals)- this is less predictable, and
Inoi'e liable to fluctuate, and now represents mosl of the iiicoine each year. B.E.S. is extreniely
gr41leful lo its wide range of supporters tor providing the finance, which allows Ihe work to grow.
Total Income increased by £J9,J91 Ir()m £)12,529 10 £3 51,920. This was due to an incease
in tunds being received Ironi gilts and legaLies. We continue lo I'eceive large one-orr
donations froni churches, individuals aiid trusts.
Expeiises decreased by £ I I1,760 froni £419,680 10 £307,920 in the year ended 31 December
2025. Thi% was due to the cost of tlie International Conference in 2024.
Wherever possible. the trustees avoid entering inlo substantial long-terni financial commitments,
aiid Ihcy und¢rtakc activities each year as funds allow (particularly in the area of overseas support
aiid dcvelopn]ent). The charity contiiiues to explore opportunities to widen the supporter base,
producing newsletlei's and otlier material, and conducting deputation meetings, to make supporters
and polenlial suppoilers aware ol tlie chai'ily's work. It is hoped that these actions will increase
prayer 5UPPOrt and I'inancial support, aiid also eiicourage new volunteers lo become iiivolved in the
work ot the charity. The accounts do not reflcct th¢ ben¢fit of support for the charity, which is
provided by unpaid volLlI)leers: nor by supporting orgaiiisations which makc office facililies
available; nor do the accounts reflect the valuc ot" ILssons printcd by Revival MoveiiieDI
Association, as these are supplied directly to overseas Postal Bible Schools and other Christian
groups. I'he cliarily is gi'ateful for all such support.
Charity law requires the trustees 10 prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give
a true and fair view of Ihe st(Ite of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity tor
that period. In preparing these Financial stateinenls, the trustees are required to..
Select suitable accouiiting policies and then apply them consistently.
Make judgements and eslimates that are reasonable and prudent.
Prepare the linan¢ial statements on an ongoing basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
that lh¢ charity will continue in busiiiess.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any timc ihe linaneial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding
Ihe assets of tlie charity and l)ence for laking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection ol-
traud and other irregularities.
