MAKOMEREH PASTOR ANDREA V. COWELL PASTOR RURAMAI GARA (SECRETARY) ## CHARITY REGISTERED NUMBER: 1196389 The Trustees submit their annual report. (The Financial Statements for The Father's Love Ministry for the year ended 30th October 2025 already submitted online) 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 street witnessing in the community intensified, salvation flyers were distributed in the neighbourhood, town centre, community parks and witnessed a hunger for the Word and message of salvation. Most people requested prayer during the street witnessing. The meetings, Bible study, prayer, worship continue to take place at the registered address where people are free and welcome to join. ## **COUNSELLING** This was made available free of charge mainly by the Pastor (Chairperson), either in person or through telephone. We witnessed people’s lives being touched by the power of God as they received godly counsel as scriptures were shared from the Holy Bible. Some marriages found peace and strength to continue working together as husband and wife through teachings from the word of God. We saw a greater need to offer comfort through counselling and prayers in season of loss of a loved one. Home visits were carried out at the request of the individuals who willingly opened their doors for prayer, and fellowship and through which hope was restored back. ## **VOLUNTEERS** The Church is grateful for its Trustees who are involved in service provision and above all giving their time in prayer, offering their unwavering guidance throughout during trustee meetings. This working together has provided stability, transparency and accountability as we seek to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ and see lives transformed. 3 ## **ACHIEVEMENTS and OBJECTIVES** The process of planning, development and implementation have continued in the last year. We have successfully ministered to the needs of different people in our community by sharing the gospel, praying for our community and especially our neighbourhood. We saw lives touched and transformed both young and old through the teachings from the word of God. We have witnessed people embracing biblical principles that enable them to see life through the eyes of the Word of God, lives were touched in a practical way. Street evangelism continued with the distribution of Salvation leaflets as part of our evangelism tools in reaching our neighbourhood and the community with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our hearts went out for the homeless where food (mostly fresh) was donated to Noah Enterprise a charity for the Homeless in Luton and SMART Prebend Centre – which offers service for the homeless in Bedford ## **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 (Already submitted)** 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.
