| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The charity has been successful in helping people with their Christian lives, providing teaching and prayer and practical support, helping people to deal with mental health issues and the negative consequences that ensue from the tough times we are living in. The charity works with various groups who pray regularly for those in authority, for regions and nations and it is hard to quantify where these benefits manifest. We just know that God directs us to pray and we stay focused on that and see positive results. |
