Pastor's Re ort The theme for 2023 was'"Divine Multiplication,, based on God's original purpose for creating man on Earth (Genesis 1..26-28). We challenged One another to discover the call of God on our lives, and to fulfil our assignments in service to mankind. We learned to liTre for the glory of God and for the good of man. iritual The weekly Bible studies were mainly based on the book "God's Pattern for Christian Service" written by Brother Gbile Akanni and the Peace House Discipleship group, with the aim of fostering our discipleship relationship with Christ. The prayer ministry continued to be a means of inspiration to many, as God graciously granted us the company of His presence each time we inet. The Worship Group faithfully led us in intimate times of fellowship with God. Outrcach At Easter, we held a 'Praise in the Park, outreach at Cliff Park in Hanvich. We had opportunilies to share the Gospel and to witness in songJ lo those at the park and beyond. In December, we co-hosted a centre for the Ministers. Leadership Retreat (MLR) at Red House Fann in Stowmarket. with Brother Gbile Akanni ministering. Guests attended from across UK and Europe, and others were able to connect electronically from as far away as Oceania. For the first time. there was a graduation ceremony for those who attended the Ministers, Leadership Refresher Training {MLLERT) over the last three years. Pastors Oweikumo and Chi¢ny¢z¢ Eradiri were among the gladhands. Financial aid was s¢nt to various disast¢r r¢lief and missionary agJ¢n¢i¢s affiliated to King's Way. Education Initiative The Church continued to inspire, support and reward educational excellence by giving annual cash prizes to the best studenis in Maths, English and ScienLe in each year group in all l O schools in the town. In addition, trophies were presented to the most senior }'ear groups. Membershi We have been blessed to see the spiritual gyrowth and witness of the rnembership. We saw the intervention of God in the lives of those who were ill, and we PTaise Him so much for His gracious mercies towards us. To God alone be all the praise and thanksgiving. Without a doubt, God has been very kind to us! We are ovenvhelmed by His love and care. We give Him all the glory and seek His leadership for the years to come. Pastor Oweikumo Eradiri
TRF.ASURF.R'S RF.PORT FOR 2023 Be cheerful with Joyous celebration in every season of life. Let your joy overflow! And let gentleness be seen in everv relationship, for our lord is ever near (Philippians 4..4-5 TPT). This I believe was our story in 2023. Celebrations included & i¥eddin¥, birthdays. graduations, and a church barbecue. To God be the glory, great things He has done. The Lord through members of this ehureh and our online viewers, provided financially for the day-to-day running of the church. Your generosity over the year, enabled us to engage in school initiative progFrammes, men and wornen breakfast rneetings, conferences. digital and print advertisements. supporting missionaries. baptisinal. welfare, physical and digital evangelism, outreaches, children's spring7 and surnmer school. and coffee morning. All details pertaining to income and expenses will be provided in the audited report. On behalf of the Pastor and leadership of Kingsway Community Church, I would like to say thank you for being a kingdom flnancier. God bless you and may your cup never run dry.

Women's Report 2023 To God be the glory great things He has done. We are grateful that God has successfully brought us through another year. As a church, we celebrated our pastors 50th birthday, which was organised by the Ladies Ministry. This was a very special moment for us as we rejoiced with our pastors for having the privilege of being engraffted in the grown-up club. Paul, the apostle encourages us to rejoice with those who rejoice (Romans 12-15). Thank God we had no need to mourn. God has done us well. Jesus, our pattern. protype, big brother. gJot up early while his disciples were rnay be still asleep and made breakfast for them and invited them to eat (John 21: 12). The ladies, ministry at Kings Way Community Church continues to follow in Jesus, footsteps, and we continue to host our quarterly women's breakt"ast, which is still free of cost to everyone. We had one combined breakfast for both men and women in 2023 and will have at least one more in 2024 as we facilitate the visit of missionaries from the United States of America. Our attendance is usually more than thirty (30) women who gather with one aim in mind, which is to glorify God. We had both external and internal spcakers each time we gathcred. We pray that God will continue to use us mightily for the rest of the year and beyond to bring Him glory and honour. We pray that He .111 give us creative ideas, vision. and insigJht of how we should coniinlle to point others to Hiinself as we make Jesus known each time we gather for fellowship.. global influencel I
