– Rora Christian Fellowship Trust Registered Charity 268681 – Annual Trustees report year ending 31.03.23

This is an annual report for Rora Christian Fellowship Trust (RCFT), registered at Rora House, Halford, Liverton, Newton Abbot, Devon, TQ12 6HZ.

Current Trustees: Mr Julian Harrison Mr Benjamin Khan Mrs Ruth Krolik Mr Peter Elks

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

All groups, conferences and activities were back to normal at Rora. Including large kids camps and conferences during the summer.

Maintenance work continued around the site.

Rora continued its partnership with the local Co-Op store in Liverton, and we were able to support local families with food parcels. This is a project that is continuing. Rora applied for a grant from co-op, who donates a % of its profits to charity, and to enable us to build a ‘trim trail’ outside activity for older children and young adults.

Rora was able to host a theatre production, by a Christian Mission Organisation, to highlight the persecution of Christians in other countries.

The church at Rora also sponsored a water bore hole in Malawi.

Two trustees resigned from the board in September 2022, Paul Ovens & Stephen Cassell.

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. God has been faithful and provided all the finances required to complete all the work being carried out, and to keep the house running.

Energy bills started to increase dramatically at the beginning of 2023.
