REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Trustees are pleased to submit the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Objects of the charity
The objects of the charity are the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith across the UK, the Republic of Ireland and overseas, in particular (but without limitation) by telling people about the Christian faith, planting churches, supporting Christian workers and Christian missionaries around the world, training Christian leaders and teaching the Bible.
Summary of the charity’s main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity’s main activities and achievements were spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, educating people about the Christian faith, providing a place of worship, sponsoring Christian workers, and providing training and Bible teaching to Christian leaders.
The charity spread the gospel through distributing Christian literature door-to-door, engaging with people on the streets, and sharing gospel messages online.
The charity educated people about the Christian faith at Sunday services, small group Bible studies, children’s classes, and personal discipleship courses.
The charity provided an outreach center in Derry/Londonderry with outreach events advertised to the general public through signage, leaflets, websites, social media, and word of mouth. The outreach center is called “Grasta Community Hub” and hosts weekly activities such as clubs for children and young people as well as Bible studies and other special events.
The charity continued sponsoring ministers of religion in Southeast England and Derry/Londonderry and added an additional missionary in Derry/Londonderry. All sponsored workers are focused on advancing the Christian faith through spreading the gospel, educating people about the Christian faith, and providing training and Bible teaching to Christian leaders.
The trustees are encouraged by the progress in both Southeast England and Derry/Londonderry and look forward to seeing the gospel advance in other areas around the country in 2026.
