TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the accounts and comply with the trust's governing deed, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)”
Structure, governance and management
The trust was established by a charitable trust deed on 24 June 1987, and registered as a charity with the Charity Commissioners under the above name.
The trustees who served during the year were: Reverend D Kolenda Reverend P van den Berg Reverend R Benson Reverend J Mitchell O Raper
New trustees are recognised and appointed by the current board of trustees in recognition of their contribution and value to the charity. The board collectively, on an ongoing basis, reviews its trustees. The board is in regular communication with each other and with the chairman and vice-chairman on all matters concerning the charity. The trustees share major decisions that are noted in the minutes of the annual general meetings, and when required consult with a specialist charity solicitor. These decisions are passed to the UK Director, Mr L. Cartwright, and his staff for day to day execution.
Because new trustees are appointed from the ranks of those who are already familiar with the charity's objectives, methods and systems, little formal induction or training is required upon their appointment.
The trust currently employs the following 14 staff (11 full-time and 3 part-time):
-
UK Director
-
Operations Manager
-
Finance Manager
-
Marketing Manager
-
IT Manager
-
Warehouse and fulfilment Manager
-
Warehouse and fulfilment assistant
-
2 Finance assistants
-

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Public Benefit
The trustees have had regard to the Charities Commission statement on public benefit. In this respect we see many lives changed when the Christian message is proclaimed and people take it on board. When communities and areas in Africa live out Christian values and ethos we have often heard reports of reduced crime and how living and life has materially improved. Communities are formed and strengthened and many people benefit from having been involved with Christ for all Nations.
We teach and equip people to help them develop personally in their own faith.
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the Christ for all Nations trust are the advancement of the Christian Faith, the worship of God, the relief of persons in need, hardship, distress or who are aged or sick.
Primarily we carry out evangelistic campaigns in Africa.
Fundraising for evangelistic campaigns in Africa is vitally important to the charity, and the trustees take their duties and responsibilities in this respect very seriously. To this end the charity complies with the Code of Fundraising Practice issued by the Fundraising Regulator. All of our fundraising is conducted by our own staff under the guidance and control of the UK Director, and systems are in place to ensure that all mailing and e-mail communications are approved and signed off before release. To protect donors, anyone may request removal from our mailing list at any time and in any event will be removed after two months of not responding. We have received no complaints to date about our fundraising activities.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the trust should undertake.
Review of year
This has been a great year for Christ for all Nations.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to all those who continue to pray with us and for us and stand financially in these incredible days of Harvest.
In 2023 we reached 81 Nations and saw 3,552,818 Salvations during 14,020 Gospel Campaigns and outreaches. This accelerated activity is as a result of the vision of the ‘Decade of Double Harvest’ and CfaN raising up hundreds of Evangelists who are now in the field in Africa.
In April we were in Zambia where we held 11 crusades in 11 different cities/districts throughout the country simultaneously. In each of the 11 cities, there are a pair of CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp graduates carrying the lion's share of the ministry (each pair will cover 4 of the 5 nights of crusades in each city). Daniel Kolenda travelled each day to a new city and preach one night.
In August and September, Evangelist Randy Roberts was the lead evangelist for two Gospel campaigns with CfaN in Luanda, Angola. He was joined in Angola by our very own trustee and CfaN vice president Peter Vandenberg.
We ended the year in Tanzania where Bootcamp graduates Daniel and Katrin Smenes with a team of 16 CfAN evangelists held 404 outreaches culminating in a 5-day Gospel Campaign.
Christ for all Nations has been instrumental in reaching over 90 million people with the Gospel in its nearly 50 years of existence.
We are grateful to all staff members who have served during this season. The hard work from every member culminates in a good result. Many of our team go the extra mile in their responsibilities and duties and this helps us to propel forward and achieve great things.
We continue to remember and celebrate evangelist Reinhard Bonnke who passed away in December 2019.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Achievements and performance
We continue to grow our Monthly Partner programme and have nearly 2400 people regularly contributing on a monthly basis. This enables people to regularly support the charity from a financial perspective.
We continue to connect with our partners on a monthly zoom event called FUEL that has really helped us in a low cost way of communicating all that God is doing in Africa and around the world.
We have continued to build on our Fire Camps and held 2 in 2023, one in North London and also in Northern Ireland. We have also had great success by using weekend 1-2-1 evangelism workshops to get in front of Churches and while helping equip them to share the Gospel, we have then been able to gain extra monthly Ministry Partners.
Financial review
The trustees consider the financial situation of the charity to be satisfactory.
We have sufficient ‘Trustee Indemnity Insurance’ in place.
Most of CfaN’s funding is by way of voluntary giving and it is clear that this years support has remained strong and continual. Income in 2023 has dropped marginally to £1,392,605. Expenditure this year included £885,252 on the advancement of the Christian Faith (a total of 63% of the income). Full details can be seen in the financial statements and the accompanying notes.
Plans for the future
The strategy that we started last year we feel is the right direction to continue to push and that is with the Workshops.
By utilizing our army of Evangelists raised by the Orlando Bootcamp and the UK Firecamps have been representing us in Churches running these training sessions and is helping us gain new monthly partners.
The African crusades will not just continue but will increase with Evangelist Daniel Kolenda leading us in 2024 by celebrating our 50th year since Reinhard Bonkke founded CfaN, by holding an unprecedented 50 Gospel crusades across Africa!
In relation to our trustees structure we continue to look for potential additions who can add to the already strong contributions that we have.
The report was approved for and on behalf of the trustees on .................................... 2024 and signed on its behalf by
Reverend R Benson

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the trust for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST FOR ALL NATIONS (UK)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Christ for All Nations (UK) (the ‘trust’) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the trust in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

CHRIST FOR ALL NATIONS (UK)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST FOR ALL NATIONS (UK)
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the trust’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We design our procedures so as to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence that the financial statements are not materially misstated due to non-compliance with laws and regulations or due to fraud or error.
We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations – this responsibility lies with management with the oversight of the trustees.
Based on our understanding of the charity and industry and discussions with management we identified financial reporting standards, Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act as having a direct effect on the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
As part of the engagement team discussion about how and where the charity's financial statements may be materially misstated due to fraud, we did not identify any areas with an increased risk of fraud.
Our audit procedures included:
-
enquiry of management about the charity's policies, procedures and related controls regarding compliance with laws and regulations and if there are any known instances of non-compliance;
-
examining supporting documents for all material balances, transactions and disclosures;
-
review of the Board of trustees minutes;
-
enquiry of management and review and inspection of relevant correspondence with any legal firms;
-
evaluation of the selection and application of accounting policies related to subjective measurements and complex transactions;
-
analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
testing the appropriateness of journal entries recorded in the general ledger and other adjustments made in the preparation of the financial statements;
-
review of accounting estimates for biases;
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements of the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).
The potential effects of inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud because fraud may involve sophisticated and carefully organized schemes designed to conceal it, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or intentional misrepresentations being made to us.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the trust’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
2 Accounting policies
Charity information
Christ for All Nations (UK) is a charitable trust.
2.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
2.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
2.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

CHRIST FOR ALL NATIONS (UK)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2 Accounting policies
(Continued)
2.5 Resources expended
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Any apportionments of costs are based on an appropriate split of each cost on an item by item basis as approved by the UK Director.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Land and buildings 2% reducing balance Technical equipment 25% reducing balance Computers & office equipment 10% to 100% reducing balance Fixtures, fittings & equipment 10% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
Sound systems and equipment for handling and moving such systems, which are intended for use at campaign events in Africa, are not capitalised but treated as a campaign expense in the year of purchase.
2.7 Impairment of non-current assets
At each reporting end date, the trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss if any.
2.8 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.
2.9 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
