| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | This has been the first year of our operation. We have had difficulties in setting up bank accounts and being operational which has limited our abilities to operate financially. However, the voluntary attendance at prayer meetings has increased and the encouragement for each participant to contribute to their local communities irrespective of faith, gender, sexuality and race. This has resulted in attendees having a spiritual relationship with Jesus and being motivated to love, be inclusive and contribute to their local communities. |

Why- our Purpose
-
We believe God has called us to create informal but yet spiritual environments focused on Jesus within local communities (homes, pubs, community centers etc).
-
By being a part of this community of faith people will feel enabled to build their relationship with Jesus as well as people in their local communities (neighborhood, workplace, friends and family)
-
We want this to be a space where we can invite friends and family who may not go to traditional or formal churches
-
Ultimately we want to see more and more communities of faiths in Jesus spring up that would love and care for their local communities (neighborhood, workplace, friends and family)
