The past year has seen the local church continue serving faithfully in the face of considerable challenge. Worsening economic pressure, rising living cost, conflict and natural disaster have added additional hardship and forced our church members into being adaptive and highly responsive in immediate need while also looking forward to long term solutions. Regardless, the Church was able to open all Sunday’s for weekly services and all Tuesday’s for prayer meetings throughout the year. The church was able to impact more than a 100 people either through in person attendance or online services. The church members have been extremely faithful throughout the years through their participation, prayers or donations.

We were also able to donate gifts to individual who were in full time service to God and various ministries in the UK for a Youth convocation and a Holy convocation. The Church was able to provide a two-day ministry service in Belgium. The church had a very engaging one day church outing during the year where almost all the church members participated. The church was able to provide support either in prayers or fellowship to all the needing individuals throughout the year. **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The trustees aim to keep a reasonable working reserve.
