## **Objectives & Activities** 

The objectives of RCFT are 

- A base for a fully functional Independent New Testament Church 

- A home church base for missionaries who have the genuine call of God to other lands. 

- Opportunities for those called into the work at Rora to: 

   - 1) Gain practical experience in a work environment. 

   - 2) Trust God for their needs. 

   - 3) Learn to serve the Lord together as a team. 

- A platform for Christian conferences, bible teaching ministry and children’s camps. 

- A base for churches, missions and other Christian groups to run their own seminars. 

- Holidays with fellowship for those in need of refreshment in a Christian atmosphere. 

## **Achievements & Performance** 

As with most places that are open to the public, a lot of the activities at Rora were closed down and restricted due to the covid-19 pandemic.  We were able to host some outdoor activities during the finer weather in the summer months, keeping within the government guidelines at the time.  We had no overnight groups staying at Rora from March 2020 through to July 2021. 

Maintenance work was able to progress around the site.  All the remaining old wooden windows were replaced with new UPVC double glazed windows.  Rora received a gift of new storage heaters for the bedrooms and some other areas, these were fitted over the period of the year, and completed in September 2021.  The new fire escape was also fitted. 

Rora continued its partnership with the local Co-Op store in Liverton, and was able to support local families with food parcels.  This is a project that is continuing. 

## **Finances** 

RCFT does not charge for use of the facilities, but ask for donations from visitors.  RCFT does benefit from Gift Aid re-payments on appropriate donations.   Despite not having visitors at Rora for around 18 months, God has been faithful and provided all the finances required to complete all the work being carried out, and just to keep the house running.
