The meeting opened with an extended time of praise & worship.
Kam Kaur, the accountant, explained the audited church accounts & encouraged people to tithe & Gift Aid. We thank God for His provision & faithfulness through the church finance & especially for enabling us to continue to support our first church plant. The major expense this year was to refurbish the kitchen which has needed doing for many years & is an investment for the future.
We recorded a vote of thanks to Kam for her work.
We then summarised the annual report for the year ending April 5" 2025.
There is now a rota of DBS accredited helpers for Kidzchurch on Sunday mornings, which has been a great help for the regular volunteer teachers, & the children have really enjoyed seeing different people (they have their favourites!). They are planning something for Christmas.
Nick is planning to take a small team down to LBC Woodrow, our new church plant, one evening in the week, so our mid-week meeting will just be discipleship groups on Tuesdays.
Paul is looking for somebody to do the content for website & social media.
The Bible college in Nagaland that we support is funding evangelists.
The minister Nick Harrison then summed up by thanking Jesus & the people who serve alongside him, who have prayed & worked to extend God’s kingdom & he looks forward to the next year & our second church plant.
The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to Nick & with prayer.

1) GENERAL CHURCH REVIEW APRIL 2024 TO MARCH 2025
The year from April 2024 started with Darren & Lisa renewing their wedding vows and being baptised immediately after. Darren, though terminally ill, showed great courage and determination to see the day through. It was a beautiful celebration that we were never sure would happen due to the hospital potentially not letting Darren out because of his illness.
Throughout the rest of April and May our ministries into the local area continued to spread the gospel, ‘Café Church’ for the elderly ina local care home and Friday Club for local unchurched kids. Whilst the Lord continued to save lost souls through church members witnessing in their workplaces and on the local streets.
During the summer months a number of the church members went along to the Franklin Graham ‘God loves you’ event at the beginning of June. The event was held at the NEC Birmingham and a free coach was provided, it proved to be an amazing experience for everyone, and to top it off a salvation amongst our party too!
Also in June was our annual community BBQ, this year we added a few stalls to the mix along with the bouncy castles, crafts and face painting and free food. Again, it was a well-attended event and two salvations to top off a brilliant day.
In July, we closed the church one Sunday morning as we all went to celebrate with our church plant LBC Rhayader for their first baptisms, with 4 new believers going through the waters including our own Leticha who decided to get baptized in the local river too. What a fantastic joyful experience that was! Unfortunately, we had to end our regular Café Church ministry for the time being as Pastor Nick had too many responsibilities elsewhere to continue, but we do hope

to pick this up again sometime in the future, and we plan to continue to visit the care home occasionally for communion.
Into August and we held a fundraiser ‘family market day’. The day was a brilliant day, very similar to the community BBQ, with lots of good bargains had and we managed to raise over £220 too.
Sadly, in August our beloved Darren went home to be with the Lord after his long battle against cancer. The ensuing weeks and months proved to be very difficult for the family Darren left behind. Darren was a popular character and his funeral was well attended and led to three people surrendering their lives to Jesus during the service. We remember Darren with fondness.
Autumn was one of celebration with a baptismal service in October, and then the devastating news of our dear sister Christine Philips passing away after her extremely brave battle against cancer on 23 October 2024. This was the second blow for the fellowship within a couple of months and left David, the children and the fellowship reeling as Christine was a longstanding member of the church. A packed church gathered for Christine’s funeral and one thing that kept shining through was her kindness and generosity though she never spoke of this herself. We praise God for the impact Christine had on many lives.
Praise God that in the midst of our grief God gave us something to fix our minds on as a cause for celebration, with our first wedding service as LBC Hurst Green. Alex & Janette Southwick were married on 2™ November 2024, what a beautiful day for a beautiful couple. Later that month we had our senior leader Aaron Jarvis join us which was a special occasion as he has stepped back and doesn’t preach so much due to growing commitments elsewhere. We also had visiting speakers Dr Klaus Dierter John who shared his testimony of building a
From here to the Coast, into Europe and the world

complete £10 million hospital by faith in south America and later that month we had Dave and Mandy Scott-Morgan join us for a Sunday morning too. A brilliant time on all occasions.
The year closed with our first ‘Carols on the Carpark’ event where we invited locals to join us for carols on the carpark with hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows, Christmas lights and crafts. Again, it was a brilliant time with a real sense of Christmas joy and laughter. The icing on the Christmas cake was our newest convert, Hazel, receiving her first ever Bible. Hallelujah!!
The new year started with our online Marriage course which proved to be a real success and a great help for those couples taking part — we hope to do a second one later in the year. The first major event of 2025 for us came in February with the annual celebration of our first church plant, LBC Rhayader. Again, we cancelled our Sunday morning service to join our brothers and sisters in Wales. It was astonishing to see what God had accomplished from nothing in 12 months with a few willing hearts. Amazing — Glory to God, we are so proud of Adam & Leonie and the Rhayader team.
This was followed by our first baptismal service of 2025 as Owen and Rachel went through the waters. And then a month later our second baptismal service of the year as Gemma and Kelly got baptised. We have much to look forward to in the months ahead, particularly with our ‘missions’ week in partnership with Mission 24!

The major event during the year was the replacement of the kitchen. Eugene knocked the old tiles off the walls, after he & Nick had demolished the old counters & cupboards. Ken did work on the old & new electrics & plumbing, and Nick put all the cladding on the walls. The new oven was put in, then various people installed the new units, some of them stainless steel, and cleaned up afterwards. A big thank you to all who helped. We started in August and managed to finish for the wedding on 2nd November!
Sunday Services — Nick Harrison
We had several visiting speakers throughout the last year: Bernd Schulz continues to minister into the fellowship on occasional Sunday mornings, Bernd is a missionary street evangelist and brings good solid teaching. Pastor Craig Bennett who has an apostolic ministry has joined us on two occasions. We also had visiting speaker Dr Klaus Dierter John who shared his testimony of building a £10 million hospital in the mountains of South America, and then we had Dave & Mandy Scott-Morgan who brought a vibrant word of encouragement to us all. We would love to have these speakers back at some point in the future. What a blessing.
Prayer— Nick Harrison
The Engine Room prayer times every Thursday evening, have been well attended and Thursday nights continue to be a favourite time for the fellowship. We never really know which way the Holy Spirit is going to lead us in these times, we pray for one another, the church, the community, the home nations and the persecuted church. We realise more and more how significant these times of prayer and intercession are.
Discipleship Groups — Nick Harrison
The discipleship groups have continued to meet as one in the sanctuary of the church, but will be moved back into home venues later this year. During the last half of 2024 we all did the Romans course by the Bible Society, it was a really well put together course and everyone enjoyed it. The discipleship groups were started with a time of worship, then people split into two main groups. One group did a deep bible study on 1 & 2 Thessalonians, whilst the
From here to the Coast, into Europe and the world

younger Christians amongst us (after completing the Romans Course), did various short studies on things like the Sabbath, faith, witnessing etc.
Youth Work— n/a
The absence of youth work remains a focus of prayer for the church, we have been in talks in March 2025 with Youth for Christ to see if there was something we could do in partnership, though there was not much traction resulting from these discussions and the feeling is that we will take another route to minister to local youths.
Kidzchurch — Becky Davison
Leaders / Supporters
Rebecca Davison and Andrea Powell have continued to take on the role as joint leaders of KidzChurch.
Number of children
The number of children has increased this year; we now have 18 children on the roll (children that come sometimes).
We had 7 regular attendees — Joseph, Jacob, Jaden, Jemima, Jubilee, Janelle and Dylan. Unfortunately, we lost 4 regular attendees due to parents leaving the church.
Resources for planning
We have continued to use ‘Mission Bible Class’ — an online resource that provides detailed notes on how to deliver sessions and activities to support the sessions. We started regular team building games to encourage relationships between the children. We regularly use a quiz called ‘Kahoot’ which the children love and it allows the children to reflect on what they have learnt in lessons and recap previous lessons. We also use ‘Saddleback kids’ videos to emphasise the bible story that we are learning about.
Structure of KidzChurch weekly lessons — same as last year
- Snack — various items of food have included toast, crumpets, pancakes, crisps, biscuits, fruit and cordial.

Women’s Ministry — Joyce Neech
The continued aim of the Ladies ministry is to encourage and grow the ladies of our church in their faith and to become all that God is calling them to be. We are also exploring ways to reach out into the community with the love of God to the lost.
The team leaders consist of Joyce, Andrea, Becky and Lisa. We try to meet at least once every 2 months to plan our quarterly meetings. We are still looking for any ladies who are interested in being part of this team to bring fresh insight and input into the work.
Our quarterly meetings are as follows: -
Saturday 27th April 2024 There were 10 ladies present
From here to the Coast, into Europe and the world
7
We began with worship time as always. We then did an exercise where there were a number of items placed on a table and everyone had to think of a scripture that related to the item. It was a great time; all ladies contributed at least one scripture.
We then had a video by John Bevere called gifts of the Spirit which was a continued theme from the previous quarterly meeting. This is to encourage us to find out what our gifts are and start using them. We ended with a pizza meal and fellowship.
Wednesday 10" July 2024
Meal out at the Fox Hunt, 12 ladies came. A great evening of food and fellowship was had by all so | am told, as | was recovering from an accident and not able to attend.
Saturday 26"" October 2024
Only 9 ladies attended but we had a great meeting. We had a bible quiz which proved challenging but | think we all know a bit more about some of the bible characters. Becky then gave an excellent word about Rebecca which we all enjoyed.
26" February 2025
Ladies’ meal out was held at the Wernley. There were 13 in attendance, great evening of food and fellowship.
Friday 18" and Sunday 20th April Easter Drama
In January | shared with the team the possibility of the ladies doing a drama for Easter. We share with all the ladies at the meal if they would be interested and everyone was keen to give it a go.
After discussing it with our Pastor, he suggested that we take over leading both the Good Friday and Easter Sunday services. This felt a bit daunting but as we progressed through the several rehearsals, we began to get more confident. We not only did 2 dramas but we also performed a dance to one of the praise songs. It was a great combined effort from all the ladies in the group and we had some good feedback from those watching.
From here to the Coast, into Europe and the world

In conclusion as a team, we feel that the last 12 months have been very good. We have lost some ladies but have also gained some new ones and friendships are developing between us all. There is much more to come as we are already planning for the coming year, broadening the things that we will be doing. We are also looking to expand our organisation team. So, if any ladies are interested in helping to plan our future events, please contact me.
Worship — Nick Harrison
Our worship continues to be through PA & YouTube via overhead screens.
Helps & Hospitality — Andrea Powell
We have helped many people this past year with our food store.
At Christmas we made 10 Christmas parcels to give out to the needy in our local community. They were full to the brim with staple food items and some treats! Most of the food came from the food store. We had lots of staple food items, not many treats, but thanks to our generous congregation we were able to add additional items. The parcels were a real blessing to those who received them. We also gave 5 bags of shopping out randomly to people/families on the street. Plus, over 100 party bags with bible tracts in for local kids, and donated £400 to make our ‘Carols in the Carpark’ a free event. Thank you for all of your support and prayers in making these things happen.
Following Christmas 2024, any food items that were nearing their best before date were offered out to the congregation or taken to the local Pantry Manna House byJoan.
We didn’t buy any goods this last year for the food store, but we plan to start topping it up again over the coming weeks/months.
| am pleased with where our support has gone this year, we wanted to reach out to the community and | believe we have done that, whilst also supporting our own congregation. | pray that God continues to give us a clear vision of what He wants from this ministry and as always, | pray that it is for His Kingdom and His glory.

Future Expectations:
- e No further updates at this time
3) OUTREACH/EVANGELISM
Community BBQ
We had a brilliant Community BBQ in June 2024, what a blessing to have so many from the community come and enjoy the day, it was beautiful to see so many children there too. And to top a wonderful time off, the Lord blessed us with two salvations. These are always special times and a great tool for outreach. Thank you to everyone who rolled their sleeves up and helped the day happen. Praise God for those so willing to serve the community in Hurst Green.
Friday Club — Nick Harrison
What a brilliant ministry this is has developed into with 70 kids on the books and an average of 30 -35 kids each session. None of these kids have heard the gospel, so we realise how important it is to ensure we bring a gospel message each session. The children love the activity games that we do and are very
From here to the Coast, into Europe and the world

receptive to the gospel when done via a fun objective method. Joan and Edwin joined the team of volunteers in the summer of 2024. Opportunities for evangelistic conversations to share Jesus with the parents as well as the children are one of the objectives. The highlight of the year is the 4 lads at Fridy club who surrendered their life to Jesus towards the end of 2024. All glory to God.
Street Evangelism — Nick Harrison
We have not been able to do so much street evangelism this last year as in previous years, this has been due to in-house pastoral issues such as planning for weddings, funerals, church events, supporting church plants etc. and other demands on our time. We do have planned street evangelism forthcoming in April 2025 and hope to be busier on the streets during this coming year.
Church planting — Nick Harrison
Our vision as a local fellowship is to be a church planting church, which fits in with the LBC global vision ‘to plant churches from here to the coast, into Europe and the world’ Our aim is to plant 3 churches in 5 years. Our God-given model for church planting is to 1) plant 2) establish 3) repeat. Now that LBC Rhayader is established as a young church, we can start looking and planning our second plant. We have earmarked a few places in Redditch, but are holding these in prayer until we receive confirmation of which one God is sending us too.
Café Church — Tender Care - Nick Harrison & Dennis & Sandra Shearman
Unfortunately, we have had to bring this ministry to a close for the time being, though we have had a very fruitful time in the care home and the door is open for us to go back at any time in the future. We are grateful to the manageress and staff at the care home and we are grateful to the Holy Spirit who gave us much fruit in the way of salvations and even a baptism over the last 18 months. We look forward to returning in the future.
Overseas Mission:
We have been called to evangelise and plant in the UK and so that is where our focus remains. However, we do understand the importance of sowing into our brothers and sisters abroad. So, we have increased our giving to the Nagaland

Final Word— Pastor Nick Harrison
Well, | think it is only fitting to sum this last year up with a note of thanks, first to Jesus and then to the people he has put me amongst to serve.
As always, my first note of thanksgiving is to Father God, | find my heart echoing the words of Paul... ‘Thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour’ (Ephesians 1:3)
From here to the Coast, into Europe and the world
14
God has constantly given us reason to be encouraged and strengthened through His glorious joy. So much fun and laughter despite the tears of losing those we love, health issues and personal struggles that come to every follower of Jesus. God has blessed us with abundance in all we need, practically, physically and spiritually. Thank you, Father God, it’s been a privilege to lead LBC Hurst Green this last year.
My second note of thanks is extended to every saint in LBC Hurst Geen Church family for their hard work and faithful support as we seek to fulfil the great commission. Also, for releasing me to support Adam & Leonie in their first year at LBC Rhayader, and for being willing to sacrifice LBC Hurst Green services on occasion to go and stand with them on special occasions.
| am blessed to be given responsibility for such an amazing family of believers in LBC Hurst Green, who make so many personal sacrifices of time, finances and devotion for the cause of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
| am filled with confidence for the year ahead, despite the hard work that will be required for our second church plant.
If any of us are lacking faith, we need only consider this last year, and how God not only brought us through, but brought us through triumphantly. Glory to God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. AMEN & AMEN.
