Public benefits

The direct benefits flows to the general public, through local & international Christian Missionary organisations & Christian Media organisations. The public benefit that flows from our purpose is Christ-centered Bible based Education, through discipleship proclaiming the Gospel. For example, the charity reaches the general public in Tigray,

Ethiopia. Working closely with local Non Government Organisations such as Operation Rescue, based in Mekelle the public benefit is reviewed and measured across age groups and benefits are demonstrated by feedback & regular evaluations, from Operation Rescue and the other international missionary organisations & Christian media organisations that are supported financially. We seek to ensure the financial resources are making a difference by asking for regular feedback from our participants across the various cities such as Mekelle, Adwa, Adigrat and Maichew in Ethiopia. This partnering with charities enables the advancement of the Christian religion more efficiently & effectively. Our Annual report will demonstrate benefits to the general public, and income distributed to advance the Christian religion. The benefits cannot be physically measured, but can be demonstrated through a greater understanding of the Christian religion, and thus a sense of hope in life, improved behaviour and contribution to the mental health and wellbeing to those beneficiaries, who we reach with God’s word. There is no harm flowing from the purpose of our charity. Who are the charity's beneficiaries? Followers or adherents of the Christian faith, potential followers or adherents of the Christian faith and the wider public. Is there any private benefit flowing from any of the purposes? Is it incidental and necessary? No. The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is that those who volunteer for the charity may feel an improved sense of wellbeing and soul fulfilling experience. The Trustees have no private benefit from the charity's assets.
