## 10. OBJECTIVE, VISION AND MISSION 

The Charitable object of the AFCU is the extension of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in and through the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom and internationally. The AFCU seeks to attain this end by encouraging witness to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, with prayer as its basis and bond. 

The vision for the AFCU is to be a dynamic and outward looking prayer union, discipling a growing membership, upholding Biblical principles in the Armed Forces. 


The mission of the AFCU is prayerfully to: 

- Encourage those who are already Christians in the Armed Forces Community to live out and develop their faith, to act as ‘salt and light, and through them to encourage others to come to a committed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; 

- Work for Christian unity amongst serving military Christians worldwide, and to work alongside other military Christian Organisations (MCOs) in support of the chaplains; 

- Support the Armed Forces, providing a Godly influence upon military culture; Expose the role of Christians in the Armed Forces to the wider Christian and secular community.

**Armed Forces' Christian Union 1193977** 

## 11. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 

## The AFCU became a **Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)** in March 2021. 

The rules of membership and governance of the AFCU are defined in the Constitution. 

The AFCU is interdenominational in character. Membership is open to those who have an interest in the work of the AFCU and wish to pray for the Armed Forces. The only conditions of membership are a Christian belief in prayer to God through Jesus Christ and a commitment to pray for the spiritual welfare of the Armed Forces. There is no membership fee; members are invited to make donations. Despite Covid-19 restrictions on physical events, the AFCU has still managed to register new members. To date, we have 2776 members, with 154 new members joining in 2021. 

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the policy and strategy of the AFCU. Additionally, the trustees consider the major risks to which the charity is exposed and satisfy themselves that systems or procedures are established to manage those risks; the transition to CIO is one example of such risk mitigation activity. 

The Board consists of a minimum of seven members and seeks to include two serving (Regular or Reserve) members from each Service, a civilian, a chaplain, and an honorary treasurer who is usually non-serving. Committees answerable to the Board oversee various aspects of the AFCU’s operation: Finance, Communications, International work, Women’s work, Men’s work, Families, Under 35s, Post Traumatic Growth, Prayer and Safeguarding Risk and Governance. Recruitment to the Board of Trustees is through expressions of interest from the AFCU membership, followed by selection interview, and appointments are normally for a period of three years. 

In addition, the AFCU appoints a President and up to four Vice-Presidents who are normally serving members of senior rank (OF5 or above). The Presidential Bench advocates on behalf of the AFCU to the Military Senior Leadership and advises the Board of Trustees. Its members are invited to attend meetings of the Board, but do not have a vote and are not trustees. 

Staff (paid and voluntary) carry out the central administration of the AFCU.

## 12. ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT 

The Charitable Object of the AFCU falls within the following descriptions of purpose: 

- The advancement of religion; The promotion of the efficiency of the Armed Forces of the Crown. 

Like all charities, the AFCU has been established to deliver Public Benefit; public in this context is ‘a sufficient section of the public’, i.e. the Armed Forces’ community. The benefit delivered is moral and spiritual welfare for members of the Armed Forces which enables them to deepen their faith and makes them more effective in their roles. Selected quotes from members are included in italics throughout this report as supporting evidence of the benefit delivered. Specific activity under each Mission Area this year is marked in bold. 

The activities through which the AFCU undertakes to deliver Public Benefit are: 

## a. **Prayer** . 

Prayer is at the heart of the AFCU which traces its roots to the Army Prayer Union formed in 1851. 


Today, the AFCU prayer ministry stimulates and guides prayer for: 

i. the needs (spiritual and physical) of AFCU serving and non-serving members and their families; 

ii. the AFCU’s activities; 

iii. the spiritual needs of the UK Armed Forces; 

iv. the spiritual needs of the Armed Forces of other countries; 

v. the government and all involved in Defence. 

This is done mainly through our Prayer Support Teams, but all members are encouraged to pray for the spiritual needs of the UK Armed Forces and those of other countries. To this end a daily prayer diary is sent to all members. 

In 2021 the AFCU added 6 **new Prayer Support Teams** to its list of those praying for a number of serving ‘links’; the AFCU now has **a total of 69 teams** (39 groups and 30 individuals) around the country. There are now **267 serving members who have requested to be linked for prayer.** 

The AFCU has an emergency prayer chain and requests for emergency prayer are sent out to 68 members. In 2021 there were **12 new emergency prayer requests** , plus many updates on each one. The AFCU also has a Confidential Intercessory Prayer List for about **25 serving members who have requested long-term prayer support** . This list is distributed to 52 volunteers who pray for those asking for prayer. 

**Page 06** 



**Armed Forces' Christian Union 1193977** 

The AFCU has numerous testimonies of specific answers to prayer, which have clearly brought benefits to many. Comments include the following: 

Serving PST Link: _“If AFCU should ever question the calling to be a Prayer Union let the answers to prayer that we have received be a witness! Linking Serving personnel to PSTs and encouraging more ex-Military and others to form PSTSs is essential business. God answers prayers! Thank you so much to my PST!”_ 

## b. **Literature** . 

Our newsletter is sent via email to many of our members with those who prefer, or do not have access to email, receiving it by post. The newsletter moved from a monthly email to a weekly newsletter in September allowing us to keep our members more informed on the life of the Union and to facilitate a greater feeling of connectedness. The printed version is sent out every two months as a summary of what has happened over that time. 

_“Thank you for such an inspiring article. It's such a timely read for me, considering I will be taking my Private Pilot Licence check ride tomorrow. May God receive all the Glory as we seek to honour him in all our endeavours. AMEN.”_ 


Due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, Contact magazine was ceased temporarily and so has not been produced this year. The time was used to reflect on the efficacy of a magazine and the decision taken to change to two annual booklets: one that would focus on outreach to nonChristians and the other to be a teaching resource for our members, specifically aimed at those serving and convenient to take away on deployment or ops. 

_“Really encouraging read”_ 

## c. **Activities** . 

_“Thank you very much indeed for sending out this piece. An extremely important subject and I found the article most informative, thought provoking and helpful.”_ 

_“Wow great stuff and really made me think about my own retirement.”_ 

_“The recent article on craving community was amazing and very in tune with what is on my heart as the UK emerges from COVID”_ 

The AFCU continued to run a total of 15 virtual events and 5 in person events within the Covid 19 restrictions. These virtual events are now seen as a useful addition to our programme, especially in facilitating an opportunity to ‘gather’ despite the restrictions. From planning to execution of activities, Government guidelines were always considered, along with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public safety and benefits. The main activities were: 

**Page 07** 



**Armed Forces' Christian Union 1193977** 


After many decades of holding our youth camp at Easter, we have now taken the decision to move it permanently to the summer. 

• **Summer Camp** continues to be aimed towards young people to help them find acceptance, encouragement, and support in whatever circumstance they come from. This love and the ability to grow and strengthen their faith brings them back year after year hungry for more. Many of those without Christian support at home or school are reluctant to return home at the end of the week – a great testimony to its success. 

_**“The best bit was fellowship with likeminded Christians around God's word”**_ 


- **Men's Ministry** – We held nine online evenings with notable speakers, such as Krish Kandiah and Carl Beech; the attendance varied from 30 to 60 each time. The Men’s weekend was also held online in the early part of the year on the subject ‘Reasonable Faith’. 96 men attended. 

- **Flourish** – An online event was held in March to comply with Covid restrictions. 119 women attended some of whom were able to attend despite being stationed abroad. In the Autumn, a hybrid event was held with locations in the North (Catterick), South (Guildford) and online too and had 80 women in attendance. 

_“It was wonderful to have an event near me that I was able to attend. I didn’t quite know what to expect but have enjoyed it and will come to more things in the future.”_ 

- **Twenty4** –  This women’s leadership and mentoring programme launched a new season via an online conference. 37 women are involved in the programme this time either as mentees, mentors, supervisors or prayer support. During the year mentees meet regularly with their mentors, the mentors have undergone monthly training to support them as they mentor people and the supervisors meet with mentors frequently to further support the mentors and enhance their skills as they follow this programme. 

- **Officers’ Weekend** : 90 people attended this residential weekend. 

_“It’s wonderful to get together with other forces Christians and their families centered around bible teaching.”_ 

_“The best bit was fellowship with like-minded Christians around God's word”_ 

**The ABM (Annual Business Meeting)** was held in November and was used to present the Vivid Vision for the next 3 years for the work of the Union. It was good to have 90 people attend this online and hear our plans. 

**Prayer Support Teams: fact finding zoom** – our prayer support coordinator ran a very wellattended zoom call for people who wanted to understand more about this valuable ministry. 

**Page 08** 



**Armed Forces' Christian Union 1193977** 

- **Service of Prayer** – this Remembrance service was run with the Defence Christian Network at Shrivenham in the Defence Academy, with over 230 booked in. 

- **Board of Trustees weekend –** 12 trustees and 3 members of staff met in person over a weekend in December. Meeting in person was much appreciated after many zooms during Covid. 

- **U35s –** two weekends were held in Watchfield during the summer. It was a chance to gather after a long time and enjoy living outside. 

## d. **Contacting and Visiting Members.** 

The object of AFCU's contact and visits is the advancement of the Christian faith of our members and the serving community. 

Virtual gatherings, events and zoom meetings have been the medium of choice during the pandemic, and these have allowed us to reach out and connect to more members than originally expected. 

Despite the restriction on physical meetings and visits, the AFCU registered **154 new members through virtual meetings and events** . 

We have also made extensive use of messaging services for maintaining contact with serving members, on an informal basis. We have three main groups who encourage each other in their faith: RN, Men’s and U35s. 

## e. **International Work** 

The international work receives funding from the International Fund and gifts to this fund are specifically designated by the donor. In order to promote the formation and strengthening of military Christian fellowships and chaplaincies in the Armed Forces of other countries, the AFCU seeks to provide funding support for international military Christian conferences and events and encourages AFCU members to attend such activities. The AFCU also seeks to invite overseas military Christians to attend its events, travelling either from abroad or from the UK where they may be attending a course. 

All European Military Christian Ministry physical events were cancelled due to Covid-19. Over the lockdown period, the **AFCU has had participants joining virtually in its midday prayers from Portugal, Bulgaria, and Albania** . 

## f. **Mission Support** 

The AFCU has 16 members and their families who have now left service life and who have gone into the mission field. A small missionary fund is maintained to help to support them. In 2021 we made 3 gifts of £800 to missionaries: 

- 1.To help towards the building costs of a house for one couple serving with YWAM in Uganda; 

- 2.To help towards the moving expenses and new windows for a missionary couple in Togo; 

- 3.To help towards building a new garden house for a missionary bishop to use as an office. 

One of the letters of thanks was as follows: _“My family and I here in Togo are sending you this letter of THANKS-GIVING to you through my Spiritual Father Captain Brian Sloan, the then Leader of the evangelism team on board the M/Anastasis Mercyships in 1995 in Togo and through whom also the Lord CALLED me to become His Minister of His Gospel to feed and to take care of the lost souls they won in 1995 through this year 2021. May the Lord our God richly bless you with His Spiritual gifts to empower you to keep up your good works with Him. And what’s more, may He protect you with your family and all your teammates from all problems and to meet your respective needs for your financial support for me and my family through Captain Brian, my Spiritual Father in Jesus Name. All the best.”_ Pastor James Mensanh Kossi Adoukpo

**Armed Forces' Christian Union 1193977** 

_**“Thank you for the quote by Spurgeon and the enclosed Scripture extract from Psalm 121. Both gave me a smile, lifted my spirits and focussed my eyes on what’s important. There is a better time to come in Jesus and we’re fortunate to be in His family. Please keep me in your prayers as well as other prisoners, our families and the system. My prayers for you all and the AFCU’s work continue daily in earnest.”**_ 

## g. **Support to Veterans in Custody (VICs)** 

There are a number of ex-service veterans who, for one reason or another, end up in prison and there come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. 23 of these have joined AFCU over the past 6 years or so and the AFCU seeks to maintain contact by letter or email and send cards and Christian books at Easter and Christmas and for their birthdays. About 7 or 8 of these men correspond with us regularly and some others from time to time. Two further prisoners were released this year, one in Sunderland, who was put in touch with another Christian charity, Junction 42, and the second in London who, sadly, was prevented from being put in touch with Caring for Ex-Offenders by the Probation Service. The past two years have been very hard for all those in prison due to the Covid pandemic and they have been locked in their cells for up to 23½ hours per day, with no visits, so our written correspondence has been all the more important. We have had some wonderful comments during the year: 

_“I shared the Contact Magazine with [another prisoner] and he in turn gave me a copy of Lt Gen Sir William Dobbie’s ‘A very present help’. It’s a fascinating read and, though events here are on a much smaller scale, it’s helped me to see God at work around me and in the people behind the wire.” (Lt Gen Sir William was President of the Officers’ Christian Union 1954-1964.)_ 

_“I want thank you immensely for visiting me today. You cannot comprehend the joy you brought with you. I am overwhelmed with my birthday presents. I am short of words to express my gratitude. All I can say is that you are blessing in my life for which I am extremely grateful. Your generosity both spiritually and morally is a recipe to prolong the life of a desperate individual like myself.”_ 

## _h._ **Administration and Collaboration** 

The AFCU always tries to support and work collaboratively with other Military Christian Organisations (MCOs). The move into the new office in Oct 2019 has facilitated this collaboration and is proving beneficial in many ways. Sharing the downstairs floor space with the Naval and Military Bible Society (NMBS) has strengthened relationships and provided ample storage space. With the three Directors sharing the upstairs office space, there is still room enough to host staff meetings and small conferences. This has been used by several other MCOs, primarily for trustee meetings. 

With the launch of the Defence Christian Network (DCN) in 2019, AFCU has continued to offer assistance where applicable, especially in supporting virtual events within the serving community.

## 14. FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Planned events for 2021 were still constrained by Covid-19, but based on the experience of 2020, a flexible budget was set for the year. In practice, expenditure and income were reasonably balanced and in line with the budget projection. With the transfer of legacy money from the Special Projects fund, a small surplus of income over expenditure was achieved. 

Salary costs remain the dominant factor in the charity’s expenditure with all other items closely controlled. There was an exceptional increase in legal costs associated with the conversion to a CIO. 


## 15. RESERVES POLICY 

Income from donations, Gift Aid and bank interest was marginally lower than for 2020. 


The AFCU Reserves Policy requires the calculation of the costs for closing the charity within two time periods: 1 month and 6 months. This includes payments to employees for redundancy and notice periods, minimal commitments for utilities and rent in lieu of notice. 

If the Reserves available (i.e. within the General Fund & Special Project Funds) fall below the 6- month figure, then the Finance Committee and Board of Trustees are to be alerted. If Reserves then reach the 1-month figure, these same Committees are also to be notified, with a view to considering emergency corrective action. 

At present, these sums are estimated at £67k and £129k; these are 34% and 66% of the Reserves respectively.

## 16. STATEMENT OF AFCU TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES 


The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales (the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008} and the provisions of the trust deed require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charity Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP); 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Approved by order of the Board of Trustees on
