Accessible Prophecy CIO
Trustees Annual Report from 01.06.22 to 31.05.23
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:
1. To provide excellent coaching, training and resources for Christians in order for them to learn about, and experience, listening prayer and prophecy.
2. 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.
A brief testimony from a huddle participant in the US:
My first year Accessible Prophecy huddle was such a gift! Words cannot express the joy of seeing the impact of sharing with others what God is speaking to you! I have never been a part of a prophetic community before. It was like coming home! I am eager to pass on to others the life-transforming truths I learned.
We currently have more than 40 trained Accessible Prophecy coaches in 9 countries, with more people waiting to be trained. Our coaches are working across many different denominations. We offer ongoing support to our coaches through regular ‘coaching catch-up’ Zoom calls.
We are able to provide free or subsidised coaching to individuals who otherwise would not be able to afford the training.
We also offer shorter-term training cohorts focused on:
- Leadership Coaching on Prophetic Culture
- The Prophetic Call to Social Justice
- Prophetic Art: Listening & Creating
- Discerning Together: equipping church leadership teams in decision making
We are currently planning to offer a new training cohort based on Catherine Livesey’s new book _Holy Disruption_ .
Workshops/Conferences/Webinars
We are delighted to have had the opportunity for a number of in-person events alongside online workshops, webinars. We have been able to offer these events as a means of resourcing people, churches and networks, including the Salvation Army, the Church of England, New Wine Netherlands, and the Mennonites.
In September Catherine Livesey delivered a training day for the INNOVATE network of churches in Ontario, Canada, as well as speaking at the ‘Lift’ women’s retreat in Nova Scotia. This Canadian visit was also an opportunity to invest in our Canadian team, spending valuable time with the team members.
We have delivered a series of training days for a network of churches in East Yorkshire which has been very well received.
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.
Regional Teams We have regional teams established in:
The UK & Ireland The United States Canada Denmark The Netherlands The Balkans Australia New Zealand
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.
In June 2022 we held an online ‘global gathering’ for all our teams, coordinating 20 time zones from California to New Zealand. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the work of Accessible Prophecy across the globe and build stronger connections with our key people.
## 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_ came out in September 2022 and has received positive reviews.
We also have a podcast: The Prophecy Project, hosted by Chris Wanstall and Andrew Hill in Australia.
## Our finances
The Receipts and Payments account shows receipts of £26,023 and payments of £19,156. We also carried forward £12,884 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
Accessible Prophecy CIO has continued a steady expansion and consolidation of its work in eight regions 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.
