MISSION AFRICA (THE QUA IBOE FELLOWSHIP) (A Company Limited by Guaranteo) COIJNCIL'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENQED 31 JANUARY 2024 Achl•v•monts and pertormanco (contlnuod) a. Revlew of activltieg This past year: February 2023 - Jantjary 2024 has been a difficult one bul we give thanks that God has been lailhful and good. There were ongoing changes and adjuslmenls lo the operation of the Mission during thi5 period but these did not detract or deter the Mission from continuing lo fvlfil the aims and objectives of the Mission as outlined. The Mission through the Council, staff, overseas workers and African partners hope lo continue lo serve the African Church through ovangelism, ITaining, medical and compassionate ministries. EVANGELISM Evangelism remains one of the key strategic aims of Mission Africa. In Nigeria, our evongeliskn'c efforts are intrinsic to all our work, bul may be most obviously found in our work amongst the Fulani. Reverend O. Onuche continues this work as a mission partner but sees the need for others lo come alongside and assist him. Nevertheless we keep in close touch with the work in this region and small financial grants have been made to Fulani schools and orphanages. Despite the ongoing serious securlty issues wlthin Burklna Faso, our partner9hlp yth the EPE (Evangelical Prolestant Church) has continued successfully. Ana van 8rakel moved lo the Ivory Coast in January 2024 Io assist the EPE by leachin9 and trainin9 local pastors and their ¥Mves al the L'lnslitut Pastoral Hebron. Jeremy and Rachel Nash moved to Chad in mid-2023 to serve In a support role alongside Oovid and Lucy Morrison. Jeremy continues to make regular visits lo Burkina Faso and promote basic theological education by extension amongst children and lo establish the Gamaliel Association to continue the ministry. We give thanks for his safe travel and regular visits. Samantha and Godfrèy Ibla and thelr Iwo chlldren moved from Abuja lo Enugu where they seek lo establish the work ol Fellowship of Chrislian Students (FCS.)

She conllnued the M1$5ion's ongoing partnership th the Presbyterlan Church ol East Affica IPCEAI and other mlnlsldes vthlle preparing to h05t and support volunteers from the UK with the Mission's short term programme. STRENGTHENING THE CHURCHES OF AFRICA Mission Africa tn'es al all times lo work in strategic ministries that allow u5 to make an impact Ihat is disproportionate lo our small size. The most strategically important work in which we are engaged in is Ihal of theological education. In providing missionary lectures for various Iheological colleges in Africa, we are lacililaling and enabling the Iraining of a new generation of leaders for some of the fastest growing churche5 in the world. Our primary relationship is with the theological colleges of the United Evangelical Church (founded a5 the QIC.) Reverend Godw"n Ekanem continued to provide service to Mission Afrlca as Liaison Officer between the mission and our primary partner, the United Evangelical Church, whilst G8il Ekanem had been leaching part.lime at William Whealley Theological College IWWTC> whilst wrrtin9 books for Ihe African Church. The Ekanems returned to Nigeria in the second half of 2023 to continue their ministry.

MEDICAL, PRACTICAL AND COMPASSIONATE MINISTRIES David & Lucy Morrison continue to serve in Chad under the umbrella of COCOAM and TEAM. Their work is cenlfèd upon the alleviallon of suffering amongst marginalised and abused women. They returned lo the UK in July 2023 for a short period of home assignment and returned again to Chad in August 2023. Katie Morrison relumed to the UK in April 2023 after an eight-month period in Nigeria, based al Holley Memorial Hospital.

The mission currentty has no personnel deployed lo work with Advance, bul continue our partnership with the Child Sponsorship Programme al 09Ugu which has grown numerically over the last number of years. THE HOME BASE Caroline 8ustard, Chair of Council, became Inlèrlm CEO and has been leading Mission Africa through the challenges and difficulties that followed the Paul Ballle's passlng in November 2022. This role was advertised in 2023 and was resulled in a successlul recfliilmenl process. There were several staff changes in terms of personnel and roles during this period. Lauren Mornin returned from malernity leave in March 2023. Paul Wright began employment as Chief Executive in September 2023. Naomi Spence resigned Irom her role as Short Term Mission Officer in October 2023 and was replaced by Catherine Pope after an external recruitment. Peter Irvine resigned as Finance officer in January 2024. There were several team$ of volunteers and medical electives during the summer of 2023 to both Kenya. The work of Mi55ion Africa continues lo be promoted by our represenlalives, Robbie & Margaret Toop in Scotland. Jeremy Nash worked as 8 Mission representative in England until he and Rachel moved to Chad in mid-2023. They have been regular Gontribulors al various churches, conventions and exhibiknons as well as leading and attending various prayer group5. We give thanks for the Mission Africa prayer groups. Their role in promoting prayer, giving and th8 general profile of the mission cannot be underesllmated. W• are concerned by the relalivety small number of prayer groups in existence today. We would ask our supporters to make'il an urgent matter of prayer Ihal the next generation would continue to be diligent in prayer. The Central Player Zoom each month and has proved to be a means ol connecling staff, missionaries and supporters and Conlinues to date. b. Invegtment pollcy and perfomiance The objective is to maximise investment income, thus limiting the need to fund actsvities out of reserves,. but the level of risk is kept lo a moderate level. We are very ably advised by Inveslec and. more recently, by Evelyn, on all inveslmenls matters, and Council lake the view that the use of undisputed expert advisors fuifils the fequiremenl of the Trustees Act that all investments be handled wth all possible care and diligence.

Going concorn After making appropriate enquirles, the Council members have a reasonabl8 expectation Ihal the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, the year ending January 2024 has again revealed a deficit. We eonlinue to be grateful to all those o have supported the work through their sacrificial giving. While there is a deficit for the year ending January 2024, we know that the monies spent have been used to further Ihe aims and objectives that are core lo mi9sn Africa. To ensure the Misslon's reserves are adequate to malnlaln and fvnd the long term owecllves of the Mlssion, expendllure vlll nomially be limlled to the Income derlved through Ils Investments, membership subscrlptlons, annual appeals, bequests, regular Grfi Aid donations and (to a very minor extent) the sale of books. 8e¢ause of the deficit that has aflecled the Mission Finances over the last few years, it has proven necessary lo expend reserves from time to lime. Council has agreed, however, that the reserves will not be perMed lo drop below fSgure that would be the aquivalant of 6 months of normal operations. The state of the Mission's investments remains robust, although there have been market fluclualions in these financially uncertain days. c. Post balan¢• •h••t •v•nt In August 2024, the company compleled the sale of a property located at 163 Sandown Road, 8eifast. BTS 6GX.

We Identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company Ihfough discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector and we focused on specific law5 and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company, includlng the Companies Act 2008, Chgrilles Act. taxation legislation and employment law. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fiaud rnighl occur, by making enquiries of mana9emenl 88 lo ere Ihey considered there was susceptibilily to fraud, their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud and eonsidering thè internal controls in placè lo mitigate fisks of fraud and non4ompiiance th laws and regulation$. We obtained an understanding of internal controls relevant lo the audit in order to design audit procedures that were approprlale in the circumstances bul not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Company's inlemal controls. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls. we performed anal11 procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; lested journal entries to identify unusual Iransaclions,, evaluated the approprialene$s of accounting policies used, including management's use ol the going concern basis ol accounting, and the reasonableness of accounting estimales and related disclosures made by management,. and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and noTrcompliance wth laws and regulations, designed procedures which included bul wefe not hmiled to agreein9 financial slalemenl disclosures lo undertying supporting documentation,. reading the minutes of meelin9s of those Charged with governance., and enquiring of managemenl as to actual and potential litigalion and claims. Because ol the inherent limitations of an audlt, there is a risk that we will not detecl all irregulartties, including those leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This fisk increases the more that compliance wth a law or regulation is removed from the events and Iran5aclions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likety to become aware of instances of non<ompliance. The risk 1$ also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresenlalion.
