Annual Trustees Report for Y/E 28[th] February 2025

Go and Tell Ministries is a charitable Incorporated Organisation. The principal office of the CIO is 5 Queens Avenue, Rochdale , Lancashire, OL12 9HS.

The CIO is governed by 4 Trustees who during this reporting period are Ian Lowe, Gillian Mary Berry, Peter Trevor Baddeley and also newly appointed David Clark who was appointed the office of charity trustee on 07[th] June 2024.

The Trustees delegate the day to day management of the CIO to the Operations Director, Katherine Lucy Hudson, 5 Queens Avenue, Rochdale, Lancashire, OL12 9HS.

The Trustees recognise the role of Wayne Hudson as a trained evangelist to carry out the objects of Go and Tell Ministries.

The CIO holds a charity bank account with CAF Bank Ltd, 25 Kings Hill Avenue, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent, ME19 4JQ.

The CIO hold a WISE Transfer Money Account and a PayPal Account in the name of Go and Tell Ministries.

The objects of Go and Tell Ministries are to advance the Christian faith in the UK and Worldwide for the public benefit, mainly but not exclusively by means of broadcasting Christian messages of an evangelistic, teaching and practical nature. We have fulfilled these objects in the following ways:

  1. We returned to Mexico in November 2024, held 14 nights of crusades around the Chiapas region as well as visiting schools, prison, rehab centres to share our Christian faith. Whilst there we also visited the Valientes project where basic teaching, a hot meal and family support is given to children in poverty. As this is our 3[rd] visit it was great to see this work continuing by the Lugo family. We took a donation of £326 that had been raised by the Sunday School children of New Life Community Church who wanted to give something to help to the disadvantaged children in Mexico.

  2. Local Outreaches in the North of the UK have continued including holding a Nighttime Outreach in Rochdale Town Centre, bringing local churches onboard to reach out to younger people visiting the local bars. We offered support, water and shared the Gospel message as well as giving out information about local places of worship.

  3. We were Invited to speak at church events to help engage their local communities. These included a Testimony & Curry Night, sharing how the Christian faith can change lives, a

Men’s Breakfast, sharing life experiences and offering hope through belief specifically to men. A visit to Bridges, a local homeless support project and Barnabus Trust, to speak and offer hope to people encountering life issues through addictions and homelessness.

  1. We joined with local churches on the streets in Oldham during the busy Christmas period, giving out Christian Tracts promoting a Christian lifestyle and belief.

  2. We have also worked alongside other organisations with similar objectives, including the missional organisation Mission24, joining them on missions in the UK and Overseas, proclaiming the Gospel message, as well as teaching, training and equipping Christians to communicate and demonstrate the Christian message. These churches have seen significant increase in their church growth.

  3. We liaised with a church in Northern Spain and headed a team, visiting twice to help establish and support the pastors, with the church experiencing growth of 30 people due to the teaching and outreaches.

  4. We supported a Missionary Ventures project Love4Moldova, giving a donation of £250. This project takes and gives Children’s Bibles to primary school children in a small village in Moldova.

  5. This year we have trained 69 people in evangelism and outreach We had a new opportunity to work with a Church in Taunton by teaching and training in evangelism. It was great to see that they are carrying on the work and putting into practice all that they are being taught.

  6. We held a training session for the Rochdale plaza outreach which about 40 people came to from 7 local churches.

  7. We were invited to help lead and teach in the Mission 24 School of Mission and Ministry, both in Manchester and across the country and saw around 100 trained people in Evangelism over the course of 12 months. It was great to see that by their graduation, they had grown in their sense of spiritual wellbeing and sense of Godly purpose.

  8. The Go Impact Mentoring Group that teaches and encourages local evangelists continues and is now in its 4th year with 6 people regularly attending every month. Teaching of ‘Foundations’ has been completed over the year to build understanding and confidence in the Gospel. We have moved into a new phase of not just training and equipping but also practical with regular bi-monthly local evangelism.

  9. 3 attendees signed onto the Mission24 School of Mission and Ministry 12 month course and we gave each one a small bursary towards these fees as we continue to offer support in fulfilling their God given purpose.

  1. As we have seen many people choosing to follow Jesus through these activities as people respond to the Good News of the Christian Gospel Message of Hope, we offer people details of their local church so they can become part of a faith community.

  2. We continue to use the resources that Go and Tell have produced. We give Training Booklets and What’s Next Bookmarks / Videos, that Go and Tell have produced, to new Christian believers.

  3. We continue to communicate the work of Go and Tell through our Bi monthly Newsletters. These include details of what the CIO has been doing as well as testimonies which encourage people in their belief and Spiritual well-being.

  4. We have developed existing relationships and have made some new ones over the last year. We are part of a wider network of evangelists as we link up with those around the UK who have similar objectives as our own. We have met several times throughout the year for equipping, strategising and sharing resources.

  5. The Go and Tell Prayer Network continues to underpin the work of the Charity as it uses WhatsApp to communicate prayer needs, providing vital prayer support to those in need of prayer as well as for the nation.
