ANNUAL REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
OFFICIAL
The trustees of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 30 June 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **Objectives and aims**
The principle objectives of the charity continue to be:
1. The advancement of the Christian faith in any part of the world
2. The preaching and teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through events hosted by the charity or other charities
3. The relief of poverty, suffering and social deprivation in any part of the world
## **Public benefit**
The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The charity is in its third year and has experienced considerable growth, with an increase in outreach activities and evangelical campaigns to support its objectives and aims. The charity’s flagship event of the year, the Tent Revival, was held for a third time and it was a well attended, festival like event that attracted many across the globe. The charity had various ministries, local charities and churches support the Tent Revival, which led to a significant increase in the number of people that had committed to follow the Christian faith and turn away from a life of negativity and violence. The Tent Revival was hosted for 8 nights in Bedfordshire with support from Bedfordshire Council’s Safety Advisory Group. The Tent Revival continues to be a pinnacle, well-marketed and endorsed event with the charity planning it’s fifth conference in the next financial year.
The charity has travelled to many countries to advance the Christian faith and mobilise local churches for evangelism and outreach on an international scale. This also includes holding crusades, mass gospel campaigns and missionary work in partnership with local churches and ministries. This year, the charity travelled to Ethiopia to hold a mass gospel campaign in partnership with a wide network of local churches based in Addis Ababa and beyond. This was a very successful mission trip where over 40,000 were reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through national television, evangelistic gospel crusades, evangelical outreaches and local churches.
The charity held it’s fourth evangelical conference which has been well attended over the years and remained fruitful in achieving its aims. These include mobilising christians to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in order to advance the Christian faith in any part of the world. This effectively allows the objectives and aims of the charity to multiply through others being equipped and trained in the area of evangelism.
In addition to the various events that the charity held in the financial year, Pragma Church (which is an arm of the charity) continued to thrive with more members. The church has significantly grown since its launch in the last financial year which has led to the need for a new premises to hold the growing community. It has been a fruitful year for Pragma Church where services at different times of the year including Christmas and Easter have been well attended and has led to people from all walks of life, committing to the Christian Faith and being discipled.
OFFICIAL
Throughout the year, the charity continued to produce many programmes for media outlets such as TBN U K and G O D TV, which has led to ever increasing success and further opportunities to expand the media platform of WLJM.
The financial year finished off with the charity holding a national day of outreach, which is a gospel campaign held in the heart of London, in Trafalgar Square. In collaboration with the Greater London Authority and a number of local ministries, the charity put up a staged event where many evangelists and christians gathered to witness the gospel being proclaimed.
## **Future Work**
The charity continues to grow financially through our evangelical and ministerial activities. Since Pragma Church members continue to grow in attendance, and evangelical events and media outlets have increased our reach, the charity’s vision continues to remain on acquiring a building to become it’s headquarters. The building will have multi-faceted purpose which includes:
- Holding regular weekly services for our congregation made up of families and young adults.
- Holding evangelical meetings and conferences (indoors and outdoors) throughout the period.
- Accommodating 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.
