Achievements and Performance
The charity is in its 2[nd] year and is continuing to grow and expand its reach. We held the Tent Revival for the second time to start that year, where people from all over the UK and overseas attended the event. This was the largest event held by Walking Like Jesus Ministries as the charity hosted 15 nights of services to the wider community with no charge to attend. There was a total of 5,000 attendees for the 15 nights and it has now become an annual conference still attracting many from all over the globe. The Tent Revival was supported by local church leaders across the nation. In particular, outreach ministries such as Teen Challenge were able to bring their young people with serious addictions to this event, and they were freed from drugs and a life of negativity during these meetings. Many others that were attendance also testified to have been set free from several other addictions during the services and have since gone to live successful and drug free lives.
The charity continued to work with the local council and the safety advisory group for central Bedfordshire. Our risk assessments and health and safety plans were endorsed as a result which led to the safe and successful delivery of the event. The charity also gained significant support from their partners and donors that were in attendance.
Along with this full 15-day event, the charity also hosted 2 further events in October 2021 and November 2021. The former event was a women’s conference hosted by Pastor Tanya Chand, where over 250 ladies from across the nation were in attendance. The charity was able to provide several free giveaways to ladies that were present at the conference, especially to those that were less privileged and benefited from such resources. The whole day of the conference was well received and has now been established as an annual event which ladies across the nation could benefit from.
The latter event was the charity’s 3[rd] annual Evangelism Training School which had over 200 evangelists attend. A number of guests leading local evangelistic ministries or working for large-scale organisations (e.g. Billy Graham Evangelistic Association) were present to speak at the event alongside Evangelist Daniel Chand, host and leader of Walking Like Jesus Ministries. Following this conference, many other exciting new initiatives were launched including the use of a multi-purpose stage trailer, in which renovations were completed in December 2021, on local outreaches across the UK cities, starting with Oxford in July 2022.
OFFICIAL
Throughout the financial year, the charity has been committed to providing weekly services every Sunday at 4 PM at the Chrysalis Theatre in Milton Keynes. In January 2022, the charity announced the launch of Pragma Church which fulfilled many needs within the local community. The church, which is part of the Charity has grown from a weekly attendance of 90 to 140 people on average and many have committed to be members of Pragma Church. The children’s church has also grown significantly and the church continues to reach the local community through regular outreach each week.
The charity also hosted it’s 4[th] annual evangelism training school in April 2022. The Evangelism Training School continues to be a well-attended event attracting many evangelists; locally, nationally and globally to experience a full-day of teaching on a variety of evangelical topics, as well as the opportunity to join in future nationwide outreaches. One of which was the church rally organised by the charity in Trafalgar Square, London in June. About 400 people were in attendance and the charity collaborated with other ministries as well as the Greater London Authority to put up a gospel campaign and national outreach. The charity received many reports of people who were set free from all types of oppression including depression and anxiety.
Throughout the year, the charity continued to produce many programmes for media outlets such as TBN UK and GOD TV, which has led to ever increasing success and further opportunities to expand the media platform of Walking Like Jesus Ministries.

Future Work
The charity continues to grow financially through our evangelical and ministerial activities. Since we have successfully launched Pragma Church, hosted evangelical events and increased our media presence, our vision for the next few years is to acquire a building. This would become the headquarters of the charity which would have a multi-faceted purpose that are:
-
To hold regular weekly services for our congregation made up of families and young adults.
-
To hold evangelical meetings and conferences (indoors and outdoors) throughout the period.
-
To accommodate a state-of-the-art studio where all of our media is produced and distributed to a global audience.
Our current predictions show that we would need to raise £2.75 million pounds for this type of building. Our fundraising activities for this initiative are primarily driven through online broadcasts and social media channels to acquire this level of funding.
