Accessible Prophecy CIO

Trustees Annual Report from 05.04.21 to 31.05.22

Charity registration number: 1186574

Board of trustees: Steven McMurray Catherine Livesey Emma Thompson Paul Goodson St.John Livesey Philip Hinton

Objectives

Our aims, as set out in our constitution are:

To advance the Christian religion by raising awareness of religious beliefs and practices for the public benefit, by providing education and training amongst church communities.

Our objectives and activities are set to reflect our aims. Our core objectives are:

To provide excellent coaching, training and resources for Christians in order for them to learn about, and experience, listening prayer and prophecy.
To support churches as they seek to develop a healthy and biblical prophetic culture.

As we continue to work towards these objectives we are developing a growing network of Christians who are being strengthened in their faith and who are better equipped to make their local communities places of peace, justice and reconciliation.

Activities and Achievements

The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, in particular the specific guidance on the advancement of religion, and consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit, both to church members and the wider community.

Coaching

Our main training vehicle continues to be our coaching huddles. These are online cohorts of up to 6 people. Huddles last one year and follow an indepth curriculum. We offer Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3 huddles.

We currently have 36 trained Accessible Prophecy coaches in 9 countries. They are working across many different denominations.

We are able to provide free or subsidised coaching to individuals who otherwise would not be able to afford the training.

We have a team member in the United States who has run a successful coaching cohort adapted for teens and young adults.

We are working in partnership with the 5Q Collective and over this past year we have jointly hosted a 12-week coaching cohort focused on prophetic intelligence and maturity.

We also offer shorter-term training cohorts focused on:

Leadership Coaching on Prophetic Culture
The Prophetic Call to Social Justice
Prophetic Art: Listening & Creating

We are currently planning to offer some new coaching cohorts on prophecy in the workplace.

Workshops/Conferences/Webinars

As the world emerges from the pandemic we are delighted to have had the opportunity for some in-person events alongside many online workshops, webinars, and ‘drop-in’ sessions. We have been able to offer these events as a means of resourcing people and connecting with them.

As a team we are very clear on our shared ethos and training objectives, so wherever in the world people are accessing Accessible Prophecy events they will be getting the same high-quality teaching.

Over this last year we have run online events in Malaysia for the first time, and completed an online ‘learning community’ for a number of churches across Australia and New Zealand.

We were also able to host a successful in-person conference in Serbia which attracted people from across the country.

Regional Teams

We have regional teams established in:

The UK The United States Denmark The Netherlands The Balkans

Australia New Zealand

Over this last year we have been delighted to oversee the formation of a new team in Canada. We are in the process of establishing a team in Malaysia.

The CEO provides ongoing support, vision, and direction to the team leaders through regular calls and huddles.

Content

One of our priorities is to provide churches with excellent resources for spiritual development.

The book My Sheep Have Ears is our primary resource and continues to receive great feedback. It has been translated into Dutch and Serbian. We also have The Prophecy Course and the Prophetic Lifestyle Course .

Catherine Livesey’s new book Holy Disruption: Harnessing the Prophetic to Shape a More Christlike Church has been completed and is ready for publication.

We are excited about the launch of our new podcast: The Prophecy Project, hosted by Chris Wanstall and Andrew Hill in Australia.

Our finances

The Receipts and Payments account shows receipts of £18,575 and payments of £17,152. We also carried forward £10,064 from the previous year. This will be retained to ensure a reliable cashflow into next year.

Our principal source of funds are our coaching huddles. We have also received donations.

Structure, governance and management

The method of appointment of trustees is set out in the Accessible Prophecy CIO constitution.

The trustees meet four times a year. Steve McMurray is the chair.

The charity has two employees. Catherine Livesey is the CEO, responsible for leadership of the central team, the coaches and content production. Margaret Ibison is the finance manager, responsible for financial management.

Catherine Livesey and her husband StJohn Livesey are trustees of Accessible Prophecy CIO. As set out in the constitution, they are a minority of the trustees and are absent during discussions of her terms of employment.

Summary

As the world emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic Accessible Prophecy CIO has continued a steady expansion and consolidation of its work in nine countries around the world. We remain focused on providing excellent coaching, training and resources for Christians, alongside supporting churches as they seek to develop a healthy and biblical prophetic culture. We look forward to continuing our work next year.
