## **Walls of Salvation Church**
## **Trustees Annual report for the Year Ended 31December 2023**
## **Objects of the Charity**
The object of the trust is, for the public benefit, the advancement of Christian faith in Essex and in such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the charity trustees may from time decide.
The charity aims to help people find faith in Jesus and to develop their faith. Advancing Christianity by the day-to-day practices of the Christian faith, including Pastoral Care in the context of the Christian faith which is the wellbeing of the whole person and Outreach by the presentation of the Christian gospel and an invitation to follow the precepts of the gospel.
## **Ensuring our Work `delivers Our Aims**
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous twelve months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to these groups of people we are set out to help. The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the `Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
## **Main activities undertaken for the public benefits**
As a Christian organisation we have worked with others to support people in the community both locally and abroad. Demonstrating our faith in action and by our attitude to others. Many families have been benefitted. In the locality we have worked with Foodbank, feeding the homeless project and Operation Christmas Child. Overseas we have supported a church in India, Israel, Rwanda, Uganda and Sri-Lanka with time and finance in the relief of poverty, access to education and Christian teaching. Internally we have encouraged people to explore their faith, it’s relationship and outworking in their lives. We celebrate when people recognise God’s interest in their everyday life and that of those they interact with day by day. We have also extended our help to children in Romania by giving Easter shoe box gifts for 100 children in Bucharest in Addition to the feeding Widows and Orphans programme and feeding the homeless in South India and Sri-Lanka in the COVID period and further on. We have also conducted medical camps in Rwanda and Uganda thereby teaching and educating people to have awareness about health living and prevention of conditions like High Blood pressure and diabetes and so on. We have had feeding programs in Uganda.
We have taken time to encourage people in becoming disciples of the Lord Jesus and follow in His ways, encouraging and helping the people who are unable to help themselves. Changing people’s lives for the better by having discipleship programme, helping people in addictions come out of it and have a clean life. Also, we have had people advancing in their faith and taking Baptisms in our Church and in the river Jordan in Israel.
