ANNUAL REPORT 2026 UK APOSTOLIC CHURCH OF GOD 7[th] DAY Charity Registration Number 299921
For God so loved the world that he gve his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
As the years go by we see more of the love of God manifested before our very eyes ; we see his faithfulness as he takes care of our every need day by day.
The Lord's churches held many of its meetings online instead of in church buildings. However, we have found that more people attended the online meetings than meetings in church buildings. Obviously, people can fit in these online meetings when they get in from work as they do not have to worry about transportation, which was sometimes a problem. We were able to do more bible studies and more prayer meetings: numbers grew and continue to do so as people gained more strength to face the stresses of life. We found that this type of ministry enabled those invited by Christian friends, to attend from their own homes.
Bible studies and prayer fellowships increased in homes and families and many Christians and nonChristians were able to participate in our services from where ever in the world they live. They received help from the Lord as they shared with us the studies and prayers. Our bible studies and prayer meetings online have gone from strength to strength. Sometimes people asked for prayers for themselves and sometimes for their families and many were blessed by the Lord.
Our UK Ministry
Our evangelistic team worked very hard in their desire to propogate the gospel. We found that in these difficult days many people stopped and listened to the gospel of Jesus Christ and asked many questions concerning the Word of God. The team gave to those who asked, Christian literature, booklets and bibles. People were very grateful when the team was able to respond to their requests for Christian gospel literature.
Our evangelistic team met up with other gospel workers as they shared the Word of God and they often shared fellowship, which we found was a way of bringing Christians together.
Youth Department
We have had more young people coming in. We believe the Lord is drawing young people to himself. We have had meetings for the youths that they are being taught to run with the guidance of adult ministers.
Sabbath School
The Sabbath School Department run by the Sabbath School leaders was very good and the children are happy to come
Overseas Ministry
We continued to supply our Overseas ministry with gospel studies and literature, much of which is on our website. We helped and encouraged them with teachings; again a lot of which is on our website. Also they were able to communicate with us, online.

Ministry and Literature
Dr Lake: I am still writing Christian books and Articles which bless all those who read them, at home and abroad. Ministers and Christian brothers and sisters have reported how informative and encouraging the books have been to them, their families, relatives and friends. My books have always served churches well and they continued to do so. My books are faith building and many people, both Christians and non-Christians enjoyed reading them. I write to minister to the needs of everyone, and my books continued to be a blessing with the help of the Lord.
As in previous years, our organization received enquiries from overseas requesting that we help them with teaching materials. As usual, we instructed them to go to our website which has lots of resources, free of charge, and we informed them to log in to our online studies and bible teachings.
Food Bank
Besides the spiritual side of our Ministry, we do Food Bank. Our Food Bank Team collected and gave to the needy donated food, clothes, blankets, etc. Numbers of the needy, and those sleeping on the streets grew, but the Lord blessed and our work was greatly appreciated.
Despite the challenges, God blessed our work and brought us through another year with good success and victory.
