The following command was given by
the Apostles to Israel, and all afar off─
_Repent, and be baptised every one of_
_you in the name of Jesus Christ for the_
_remission of sins, and you shall receive_
_the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the_
_promise is unto you, and to your_
_children, and to all that are afar off, even_
_as many as the Lord our God shall call. _

we look towards arranging meetings and

amnesty
allowing

their
Membership has resulted in a number
being reinstated, and new Members
have also been added. This has also
resulted in an increase in subscriptions.
Thanks to the hard work of our
Treasurer, the “Gift Aid” process is now
updated and working efficiently.
Our largest outgoing is for our Annual
Convention, but although we have
managed to keep the costs for delegates
down to a reasonable level, our overall
expenditure was not excessive.
In the general financial position, savings
have been shown in the everyday
running of the Fellowship. There have
been particular economies, with regard
to the magazine and other publications,
with excellent savings on printing.
Our support consists of a combination of
annual subscribers, regular monthly
contributors, and periodic donations. We
are blessed with a number of very faithful
supporters, who share our vision.
Many of our newer publications are
distributed free of charge, although a
charge is made for some of our literature,
especially during our conference meetings.
Also we have recently received quality books
and booklets, donated for sale by our charity.
The sale of a property, which formed
part of a legacy shared with other
charities and beneficiaries, has resulted
in a sizeable boost to our funds.
All these factors have encouraged our
Council and Members with regard to the
overall financial position. However, we
trust in God, as we seek to do His work.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
