Introduction Wclcome to the Annual Report of the Bibleway Church Charity for the year 2023- 2024. We a.s Iruslees have Lome througyh a year of work and blessings. The longer-tem] effects of the global pandemic have continued to be a lime of challengTe for many people, and il has affected some of our members economically, physically, and even spiritually. For some, it has resulted in personal hardships in lols of ways. It has meant that we had to constantly adapt our plans and strategy to meet new challengyes and secure the ongoing work of the charity. We have continued to acquire new skills in using technology and social medi{ and we have had to upgrade our technology equipment to facilitale our work. Names of the Trustees he Right Reverend. Bishop L.A. Williams Reverend D. Ogunlana Missionary K. Duncan Minister L.S. Williams Structure Governance and Mana ement The Trustee board of the charity takes counsel from accountants and solicitors and from the executive board of senior Elders and Missionaries and from its members via regular members meetings to govern the Charity's activities. The Trustees regularly monitor and evaluate the work of the charity in relation to meeting its objectives. Ob ectives and Activities The following are further particulars of the Bibleway Charitable Trust: _ Its object is: "The advancement of religion of The Bibleway Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ World -wide (United Kingdom)": clause 3 of the Trust Deed. The Bibleway Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ World-wide (United Kingdom) is defined in clause 2 of the Trust Deed as: _"Members of the Bibleway Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ World -wide within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the world" The reference to'members of the Bibleway Church within the United Kingdom and worldwide." is a reference to the churches within the United Kingdom and the rest of the world that is associated with the Bibleway Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ World- Wide.

"fhc charilj, orgyanii.es a widc variety of Church servicL"s on sunday.s. during tIIL week and on SPLLial occa.%ions to fulfill its objectives. This w'ill continue lo be a gireal part of our future goals. Sunday Servicc.s would c()ntinue to include teaching and confidenLe-building activities .]lh]n IhL Sunday SLhool Department. I"hese constructive and Lreative programmes help tlie children and Ihe adults to understand Ihe teachings of Ilie Bible and to aid the members to become good cilizens in their schoc)Is and 'ithin the loLal community. Much of the programmes on Sundays are devoted to worshiping, praying, and teaching Godly principles from the Bible. The Sunday programme also provides opportunities for grealer interaction between people of different cultural background, including help for those who are sometimes excluded from society, those who are disaffected and isolated to have a sense of inclusion into the "church community" During the week, the charity will continue to organise a varied package of departmental initiatives, including Men's ministry support, Women's ministry support, and Youih activities. These activities encourage a great deal of involvement from the Bibleway membership, which in turn aid our members to develop their potential and to raise their aspirations to function as valuable participants in community from a Christian lifestyle. In addition, the charity seeks out and engages our community, in providing many opportunities to develop the skills of its members and the local communities in various cities. This is done by way of, e.g. sports, like badminton, football, and musical talent search within the local community. Financial Information As trustees, we have always had a prudent approach to managing the charity finance. We have generally aimed to keep the charity finance as strong as possible given the very volatile economic and social environment. The charity's principal funding stream is from the free- will donations and tithes and offering from Ihe Bibleway membership and visitors, received at the various programmed activities held at the churches and in the local community. Thankfully, during the year, many of our supporters continued to give donations via direct payments into the charity accounts, using internet banking and their mobile phone apps. We are grateful for their ongoing generosity during the year and beyond. Looking forward, we are looking into ways to strengthen our financial position through gift aid and sponsorship, and become more economically and operationally resilient, and build on the unwavering support from our donors.
