The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the church comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the church's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in March 2005. ## **THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY** The advancement of Christian Faith in the UK for the benefit of the public through preaching and teaching of Christian doctrine and principles. ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT** In determining how best to pursue these objectives the Trustees have taken on board the charity commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular it’s supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for public benefit. The Father’s Love Ministry continues to pursue these objectives by operating from its registered address. (21 Ridgway Road, Luton, BEDFORDSHIRE LU2 7RP) ## **EVANGELISM & OUTREACH** Evangelism was carried out throughout the year, and once again one on one witnessing in the community intensified, salvation flyers were distributed in the neighbourhood, town centre, community parks and we witnessed a hunger for the Word and message of salvation. The meetings, Bible study, prayer, worship continue to take place at the registered address. ## **COUNSELLING** This was made available free of charge mainly by the Pastor (Chairperson), either in person or through telephone. We witnessed a great move of God in the lives of those who received prayer, exhortation during counselling and they went on to strengthen others. Home visits were carried out for prayer, and fellowship and through which hope was restored back. 4 ## **VOLUNTEERS** The Church is grateful for its Trustees who are involved in service provision and also have given their time to prayer, attending trustee meetings, offering their unwavering guidance throughout. This working together provides stability and accountability as we seek to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS and OBJECTIVES** The process of planning, development and implementation have continued in the last year, during which the church has been successful spiritually in ministering to the needs of different people within our neighbourhood and communities, reaching out to the bereaved, offering prayer, sharing the words of comfort from the Bible and through these lives were transformed both young and old from different backgrounds. We have helped people develop biblical principles that are enabling them to fulfil their purpose and live a happier life. Street evangelism continued with the distribution of gospel leaflets as part of our evangelism tools in reaching our communities with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lives are touched in a practical way during evangelism as not only the gospel, prayer, leaflets given but the homeless given blankets and bathing towels- (Noah Enterprise for the Homeless) ## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** The church continues to aim, as part of fulfilling its main objectives, to secure a facility that will equip, help develop the whole man, young and old, spiritually, mentally and physically as we continue to advance towards the goal of proclaiming the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in a manner that is relevant to the lives of families and individuals in our communities and in the UK as a whole today. We believe there is hope to fully serve the communities and see people’s lives transformed. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of The Charities Act giving a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period.
