Achievements and Performance

SORP
reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 In 2020, we introduced a new edition of
‘Voice’ that was printed in Welsh as well as
English: for distribution to the public.
Due to Covid 19 distribution of this booklet
has not been implemented. The booklet
encourages women as well as men to seek
a Christian life with Jesus Christ.
Such testimonies relate how lives have
been transformed, which might be a
restored marriage, overcoming addictions,
family reconciliation, physical and mental
healing or other personal problems
overcome, all of which have a beneficial
effect on the wider community.
We have other resource materials that help
reach others for Christ more effectively.
In previous years we have been involved
with the annual Global Outreach Day, which
mobilises Christians in over 200 nations to
bring the Gospel through sharing
testimonies with friends, neighbours and
members of the public.
Due to Covid 19 we have not been able to
use street outreach to share our real-life
stories, which we would normally do
verbally and through handing out FGB
Voice magazines to members of the
general public and through house-to-house
visits.
