## **– Rora Christian Fellowship Trust Registered Charity 268681 – Annual Trustees report year ending 31.03.25** 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** Groups, conferences and activities continued at Rora. Including large kids camps and conferences during the summer. The monthly youth club is also popular, with 35+ kids attending each month. Once again, we were able to take some of the young people to a youth weekend in Reading in February. General maintenance work continued around the site and in the property. The church has continued to visit a local Old Peoples Home once a month to hold a ‘church’ service for the residents, and also run ‘Open the Bible’ assemblies in 3 local primary schools. 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. ## **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.
