Aim and purpose

Worship Harvest Ministries UK (WHUK) is a movement of the Gospel, Discipleship and Mission. This constitutes the word of Jesus (the Gospel), the way of Jesus (discipleship) and the works of Jesus (Mission). We exist for catalysing Spiritual, Social and Economic renewal in our immediate communities and eventually communities all over the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.

We aim to achieve this by planting life giving, disciple making, community renewing churches in all our areas of operation.

Objectives and Activities

WHUK is committed to reaching the communities in which it exists with the love of Jesus. We operate under a missional rhythm of Celebration through gatherings, Connection through missional communities and Commission through outreach frontiers.

Celebration:

Church services we call Garage celebration are held every Sunday at all our centres of meeting both in person and Online. Our services are designed to enable worship through music, teaching of the word of God from the bible, prayer and community fellowship.

Connection:

Missional communities meet every week on Wednesdays to plug into MC Live, a weekly broadcast of teaching from the Bible that forms the focus of discussion. The acronym PPEGG is used to describe the activities of our MCs; Pray, Play, Eat, Grow and Go on mission together.

Commission:

Every week, the MCs engage in community outreach programs including Evangelism, running the Alpha course and other community frontiers.

Other activities:

Prayer - Worship Harvest prioritises prayer and holds daily prayer meetings online at 5:00am everyday.

Gatherings - WH holds an annual gathering each year that brings together Worship Harvest Disciples and other Christians for envisioning and days of teaching and training.

Church Partners - WH seeks to give 10% of its tithed income to other churches and missions in the UK and Worship Harvest churches abroad.

In planning our activities for the year, WHM has considered the Commissionʼs guidance on public benefit and Safeguarding. We have policies in place and sufficient training to ensure the guidance is followed in line with expectations.

Summary of the year’s activities

Worship centres

This year we launched a meeting centre in the city of London on 8th May 2022 at St Ethelburgaʼs centre for reconciliation and peace, 78 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4AG. We have regular services every Sunday at 10:00 am where we meet to worship, pray and listen to the teaching of the word.

Events

In May 2022, we hosted the first Europe Gathering in Dusseldorf, Germany. The Gathering drew in members of Worship Harvest Globally, in particular within Europe. The Gathering hosted by WHUK gathered members of Worship Harvest Ministries around the world for a time of teaching, prayer and worship. The Gathering hosted the lead Pastor and founder of Worship Harvest Ministries, Moses Mukisa and other leaders in the movement.

Financial Review

Total receipts in the period were £69,130. The net result for the year was an excess of receipts over payments of £21,266. The balances carried forward at 31st December 2022 totalled £21,066, constituting cash of £20,066 and debtors of £1,200.

Reserves policy

It is the WH policy to hold in reserves the equivalent of three months general running costs. In addition a balance of funds (where possible), equating to at least 20% of unrestricted income towards the purchase of

property. This target was successfully achieved.

Volunteers

All our church workers are volunteers and we recognise the incredible work and time spent serving the objects of the Church. Special thanks to our Trustees, Missional Community Shepherds and all the other members of the Church for their valuable contribution to the ministry and for keeping the church running.

Independent Examiners Report

Independent Examiners report to the Trustees of Worship Harvest Ministries UK for the period ended 31 December 2022

I report on the financial statements and notes to the accounts for the period ended 31 December 2022 as set out in pages 8 to 11 of the accounts.

This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees as a body in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the “2011 Act”). My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report or for the opinions I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

1) Examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act
2) To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and
3) To state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of Independent Examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

Although the charity’s gross income does not exceed the amount provided in section 146(3) of the Act, and so your examiner does not have to be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act, I nonetheless confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination as a member of the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants.

Independent Examiner’s report continued

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared accounts in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting standards applicable in the United Kingdom. I have completed my examination and can confirm that no matters have come to my attention:

1) Which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements: a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
b) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act.
2) to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts

Basis of Accounting

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are laid out below.

Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared for the period ending 31 December 2022.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or to the notes to the accounts.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16/07/2014 and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are presented in sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.

Going Concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of these financial statements.

The trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet liabilities as they fall due. This is because the charity has sufficient monetary assets, including short term cash deposits, which could be readily realised to meet liabilities should there be an unexpected curtailment of income.

Note 1: Income

Income is recognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the funds will be received. Income for this period is made up of voluntary donations only.

Restricted funds in the period were given specifically towards Worship Harvest Global building, land and church planting projects.

Note 2: Expenses

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation

committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

A breakdown of expenses is included below:

Period	21 Oct 2021 - 31 Dec 2022 (GBP)

Total Expenditure	47,864
Of which:
Global Worship Harvest projects	28,605
Rent of Church gathering premises	9,648
Events	6,193
Other costs	3,417

Worship Harvest is run by volunteers only therefore there were no salaries or any other form of remuneration paid to Trustees and volunteers except expenses incurred solely for and on behalf of the Church.

Note 3: Debtors

The amount recorded under Debtors (GBP 1,200) relates to the rental deposit of our venue for Sunday Services at 78 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AG.
