Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
At Antioch prayer house, our achievements and performances are rooted in prayer and faithful commitment of our church members. 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.
During the financial year, we were able to donate people in medical need. 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 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.

We were able to add substantial revenue via church member’s gift aiding their donations. We intend to continue to increase our donors with a gift aid declaration in coming years.
During the financial year 2025, the major expenditure seems to be rent which is proving to be more challenging in coming years as we struggle to find our own church property. The church was able to carry out significant charitable and church activities compared to last year.
