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. 2 ## **Financial review** The charity continues to raise the funds it needs to carry on its activities from congregations as well as individuals who believe in the work of the charity.
