ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable Activities
As we continue to recover from the pandemic, the Church has been very active both to the congregants and the community.
The church was able to organises its regular Sunday worship service for its members and these services are open to the public. These activities include weekly Sunday school for adults and children, Bible study, and midweek prayer meetings.
Other activities include organising an away day to Margate seafront for the members, youth and the children which was fully participated by all the parents.
The youth wing of the church was able to meet on Saturdays for music teachings (vocal and Instrument) for interested children. The church opens these programs to the public especially the community where it operates.
The church offers its building for community use (by arrangement) for programmes such as seminars, English lessons, and events for the benefits of the community.
ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2022
New Bethel Revival Ministry Achievements in 2022

Many of the groups arrange extra meetings and have their committees’ meetings during the week. Ministers and Leaders of Departments meet monthly, Sunday school Teachers meets monthly for preparation.
Once again, we have been able to welcome new members into the church with many of them coming with talents nurtured in their home churches, which they have used here.
The Choir had weekly rehearsals and arranged two concerts. They were also in demand to take part in concerts arranged by other churches. The junior choir has flourished, increased in numbers, and taking part in the service. Lessons in music and keyboard have been held regularly and for a short time. Trumpet lessons were also given.
The children’s ministry met in the lower part of the building every Sunday morning with the teachers meeting regularly for preparation and the teenagers met in the partition of the lower part for their own service except for special occasion when they joined the main congregation.
We were able to engaged in caring for the poor and homeless in our community by distributing food stuff and relief materials. Those who were sick and bereaved were visited and prayed for.
Despite the economic hardship occasioned by the Covid 19 pandemic, we were able to carry out some major projects: We did a complete overhaul of the roof of the building, double glazing our church windows, washing the entire brickworks of the building and painting of the entire building.
We were also able to organise the crossover night on 31[st] December 2022 which was fully participated by members and the community.

Report of the Trustees
For the Year Ended 31 December 2022
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to.
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP.
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of New Bethel Revival Ministry
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 set out on pages three to six.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
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
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- 2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
