||Achievements against
objectives set
Para 1.41
This CIO is a new and small church now
giving support to 68 people: 27 adults,17
young men, 9 teenagers and 15 children
through our program of Biblical Schools in
which they receive knowledge about our
Christian faith on a weekly basis, 4 hours
each session, and all sessions are free of
charge.
The children receive free refreshments and
a sandwich.
The CIO is also now providing free meals to
homeless people in Trafalgar Square,
London, on weekends; we are now
attending around 80 persons per week.
The CIO has been making small loans with
zero interest to all members in need from a
small pot gathered from the personal
contributions of all our members; up to 9
loans have been made.
The Church is also supporting some
families in need by giving them small
amounts of money for emergency cases.
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set
Para 1.41
All members attending our church are
actively participating in the weekly Christian
sessions; they also give support through
voluntary contributions to the fund to pay for
rent and buy food for homeless people
every week.
Investment performance
against objectives
Para 1.41
The participation of our congregation
members is positive, and every person who
attends our church is fully committed to the
social goals and moral values we strive to
reflect in our work. The funds raised by all
our members are gradually making it
possible to fulfill our community service
goals, such as serving free meals to the
homeless (currently serving about 80
people per week on weekends), free snacks
for children who attend Saturday services,
and Christian outreach to all our members.
