A special word of thanks is due to Pastor David Aimer for his wise counsel, and steadying hand. We live in a tempest tossed nation, where there has been a steep decline in church attendance and young people are bombarded by unwholesome ideologies. This is a time for believing Christians to take up their destiny and respond to the challenge as servants of the Most High. I have a number of objectives; to promote a collective style of management, to bring others unto the Board , and learn to use modern technologies to promote the message that the Ten Tribes are in the world right now, fulfilling God's plan, though hidden from sight to all but the wise ,those who study God's Word diligently. **DR CLIFFORD SMYTH,** PRESIDENT 3 ## **GENERAL SECRETARY** ## **Post Covid** We are all grateful that the worst of the Covid virus is behind us and we can slowly get our lives back together again. The British-Israel-World Federation has suffered without having our usual meetings. But we have been able to have our Morecambe meeting to start things off again. That first meeting after Covid, was a special meeting with everyone appreciating the fellowship between us all. The revamp of the hotel made the meeting room so more enjoyable than before. The administration work has of course continued as before meeting all the deadlines to the best of my ability. The Board of Management meetings have been continued via ‘Zoom’ which is working out well. I would like to mention the passing of The Rev. Dr. Barrie Williams MA MLitt LST PhD who was one of our Patrons. I really appreciated his style of lecturing, and his clarity of information on history that left one amazed. **DAVID J AIMER** , GENERAL SECRETARY 4 ## **THE NATIONAL BIBLE COLLEGE** ## **RE - DESIGNED WEBSITE** The new website is now fully operational with the latest technology providing user friendly links to College resources **.** ## **DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAMME** The programme continues to attract people young and old who have registered on this distance learning programme from home and overseas. Many have completed all four modules. Written feedback and guidance is given following responses to the essay questions set at the end of each of the ten units in all of the four modules. A College Certificate is awarded for the completion of each module. ## **TEACHING MATERIALS AND VIDEOS** The National Bible College has a dedicated ‘youtube’ channel. Simply typing ‘The National Bible College’ on the youtube search bar brings up the channel which has now attracted over 337000 viewings and well over 1600 subscribers. This is a highly effective medium for conveying our message. As new teaching presentation videos are added to the channel, each subscriber receives them automatically via an email. Comments are encouraged in the section below each video which can lead to useful conversations with viewers. **DAVID AIMER** , PRINCIPAL **MARTIN LIGHTFOOT** , PROGRAMME CO-ORDINATOR 5 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** ## **TO THE MEMBERS OF** ## **THE BRITISH-ISRAEL-WORLD FEDERATION** ## **For the Year ended 31[st] March, 2023** ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and auditors** 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 needed. ## **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 independent examiner’s statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 of disclosure in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 statement 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 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. 26[th] January 2024 Rose Partridge Barnhaze Accountancy Ltd AAT Licensed Accountant Newhayes Sampford Peverell Tiverton Devon EX16 7EE 6 ## **THE BRITISH-ISRAEL-WORLD FEDERATION** ## STATEMENT OF THE TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those Financial Statements the Trustees have:- - a) Selected suitable accounting policies as set out in Note 8. to the Financial Statements and applied them consistently. - b) Made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - c) Have adopted policies in accordance with SORP and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departure disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements. - d) Have prepared the Financial Statements on the going concern basis.

He was from the USA and had us busy wrapping and packing and handling all the packages which we sent a couple every month almost throughout the year. The ‘Drama of the Lost Disciples’ is by far the best seller in the U.S.A. as well as here in the United Kingdom. We print the U.S.A. edition in bulk in the state of Arkansas whereas we print on demand here in the U.K. Amazon orders are increasing both in our books as well as the few books we have on ‘Kindle’. **DAVID AIMER,** Company Secretary 13 ## **The Covenant Publishing Company Ltd** Company Information for the Year Ended 31[st] March, 2023 DIRECTORS: Miss M Dowling Mr N.
