All our charitable activities focus on the advancement of the Christian religion and the relief of poverty and sickness. 1. Ministering every week to the spiritual needs of the people through bible study, prayer meetings, counselling sessions and healing meetings. 2. Our focus as a ministry and church is the outreach for souls. ## **Who used and benefited from our services?** Our church services are presented with both the regular congregants and the visitors or seekers in mind. We minister to the physical, mental and spiritual needs of the members in our services giving specific consideration to the seekers or newcomers in our midst who may not necessarily have a church background and as such may not understand the processes and procedures of Christianity. We have also helped relieve poverty and hardship amongst both regular and irregular congregants who are suffering from a period of financial hardship due to unemployment and lack of financial resources. ## **Principal funding sources** The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of Donations and Gifts from congregants through the offering basket passed during Church services and through bank standing orders.
