ANNUAL REPORT 2023 UKAPOSTOLIC CHURCH OF GOD 7TH DAY Charity Reg. Number 299921 The Church gives God thanks for bringing us through 2023 with all its changes and diffficulties. Lik¢ 2022 we had a number of deaths but the Lord helped us. The Lord's church in general held more meetings online instead of in church buildings. This seems to be how it is nowadays but we found that more people tuned in to our online meetings which is a blessing. We found that members who live far away from church buildings found it easier io attend online meetings than struggling with public transportation. A new type of Christian ministry has developed and we made full use of it. We wer¢ able to have more bible studi¢s and prayer meetings online which peoplc attcnded as they could take part in their own homes. Prnyer fellowships increased in homes and families, communities, and not only in our nation but people joined us from other parts of thc world and shared fellowship. Many people, not only Christians but non-christians received renewed hop¢ in these diificull days as we shared the word of God. People who were not Christians asked to be prayed for and we were able to share the scriptures and prayed for them. Many were sick peopl¢ who were looking to the Lord to help them. Hence, our bibl¢ studies and prayers grew and many received strength from the Lord. Our Ministry in the UK Our evangelistic team worked very hard in 2023 proclaiming the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and as people asked, th¢y distributed gosp¢l leaflets, booklets and bibles. Our team oft¢n met up with other evangelistic teams and they worked together in 2023. This seemed to have been bringing Christians closer together as they often worked together, Ministry of the Young People 2nd ChildreD Things went very well with the young people and children, and more of them are coming to the church meetings when w¢ do hold them. They also took interest in our online services and bible studies. BoolLS and Literature Dr Lake is still writing Christian books and Articles which blessed all those who read them at home and abroad. Pcople reported how infonnative and encouraging her books were to them, their families, relatives and friends. Dr Lake's books serve churches very well as they ar¢ being used to help with teaching and bible studies. Her books are faith building and many p¢ople, both Christians and non-christians enjoyed reading her books. Dr Lake's books help Christian ministers in their work for God. She writes to minister to the needs of ¢veryone and the books continued to be a blessing in 2023. Our ministy continued to offer frec bibles and Christian literature to all who requested them. As in previous years, our organization received enquiries from overseas ministries requesting that we help them with teaching materials. They were instrncted to go to our

website where wc have lots of studies and where they could help themselves to whatever they needed of our Christian literature. We also advised them to log in to our online services and bible teachings. Helping at Food Banks Besides the spiritual side of our ministy, we have helped, as necessary, at Food Banks to serve donaled food and clothes to the very needy. The Communities are very grateful for our work amongst them. Numbers at food banks have grown and our work amongst the needy is well appreciated, We thank God for helping us in 2023 and although the year was a very challenging one, the Lord brought us through victoriously.
