We had several events internally and joint ventures with our sister networks. We also had great opportunities where we collaborated with external organisations for the good of our town. Yeovil is a small growing town which attracts a significant number of people from other parts of the country and beyond to work in Yeovil District Hospital (YDH) and Leonardo which are the main employers for the local community. So as a church we received several people looking for a place to worship and feel at home. We helped them to settle and assisted in their social and cultural integration having come from different parts of the nation and the world. We experienced a steady growth of our members who included young energetic and dynamic men. They formed a football team which from time to time played with teams from other churches and community. This is one of the platforms we used to network and impact the Yeovil community. As part of spiritual growth, we introduced weekly Sunday morning discipleship classes to teach the members various life skills and Christian values to live by. We also organised a team of educators who volunteered their time each week to come and teach believers helping them to grasp foundational biblical teachings. In these small group teachings, the new people were assimilated into the church community hence creating a support network for other areas of life. As a charity, we engaged in various social activities. These included Men’s breakfast and conference, Women’s conference and retreat, youth retreat, church picnic and barbeque, Mothering Sunday celebrations, Father’s day celebrations, baby showers and dedications. We held community Christmas carols and donated to the mayor`s Christmas fund and various care homes. All these various platforms brought church members and the community together in a spirit of goodwill, kindness and shared values. We collaborated with other churches and participated in local street pastoring and evangelism along the streets of Yeovil. This gave us an opportunity to engage with the marginalised and vulnerable in our community. These and other initiatives helped bring community transformation which is one of the aims of our charity. During this year, one of the trustee members, (Mrs Patience Osoria) turned 70 and decided to step down as the assistant treasurer and signatory. We are grateful for her contribution to the team during her time and wish her well in her retirement. In our last board meeting, Mrs Priscilla Justice, who is one of the pastoral team became her replacement and we are looking forward to working well with her. Finally, I would like to appreciate the pastors, all the trustees and the volunteers for the continued and tireless sacrifice they make to ensure the charity’s services are credible and keeping in line with strategic goals as stated in the bible, Trust deed and the church vision. 2 ## **R.C.C.G GOD'S HOUSE INTERNATIONAL CENTRE YEOVIL** ## **(Charity No 1194921)** ## **Reports and Financial Statements Year ended 31ST MARCH 2024 Trustees report continued..** Current MANAGEMENT TEAM Mrs Remi Baruwa-Member Mrs Thozama Ntsulumbana- Treasurer Pastor Joseph Khisah - Pastor Pastor Fatima Sibanda- Senior Pastor Pastor Faith Khisah-Member Priscilla Justice - Member Pastor Justice Jimba- Pastor ## Signed on behalf of the trustees **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE REPORT** The trustees, who are also the management committee of the charity, are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and accountable for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ……………………………….
