public and through house-to-house visits. The testimonies in Voice magazines (which are also available free on the FGB website) relate to how lives have been transformed: 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 FGB members and other Christians reach people for Christ more effectively: much of the FGB literature is available as free downloads or for purchase through the on-line shop on www.fgbuk.org . As a result of FGB outreach initiatives, including breakfast and dinner meetings with guest speakers sharing their life stories, many members of the public choose to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and as described above enrich their lives and then live with a God-given purpose in life. Also, where needs are identified, appropriate support is provided.

fnancial position at the
end of the period|Para 1.21|Income for 2021 saw a small decrease
on the previous year, which was
attributed to the lack of a live national
conference, where a number of
donations/gifts are usually made (the
national conferences were held on
Zoom during 2021).||

Spending had also decreased by a

budget, with only one issue of Voice
printed in 2021.
