Public benefits

1. By advancing the Christian religion through ministry and the production of Christian literature the direct benefits are a moral and ethical framework provided by the teachings of Christianity. 2. By providing humanitarian aid the direct benefits are the provision of essential medical, disabled, dental and recreational supplies to those in

Romania suffering from poverty and a lack of resources who are unable to access these resources or services without the help of the Charity. 1. The Charity provides Christian Ministry and teachings which are open to the public without charge. Through these services there is Bible teaching and public worship. There is an identifiable benefit to the public from being instructed in what the Bible says on specific subjects and in allowing the opportunity for members of the public to be involved or helped in worship. It is recognised that participation in public worship brings benefits to society. This is supplemented by the production of Christian literature to assist those teaching in Christian ministry and providing educational materials. 2. The provision of humanitarian aid to those without these essential resources can be demonstrated through an increased quality of life for the beneficiaries by the provision of basic medical, dental and recreational equipment. The Trustees believe there is no harm flowing from any of the purposes. The beneficiaries are those receiving the Christian teachings offered by the ministry in Romania and those receiving teaching at Emanuel University. The beneficiaries are also the residents and staff of Emanuel Hospice, those using the neonatal unit of the Maternity Hospital in Oradea, Bethesda Medical Centre, the Felix Orphan Community, the users of the Racatau Retreat Centre, the Betel Baptist Church and the Preventis Drug Addiction Centre, Casa Grace. While some of the direct beneficiaries of the organisation are young people, vulnerable people and children through the work outlined above, the Charity does not work directly with children or vulnerable people. The Charity's benefits are also open to the wider Roma Community as a whole. The Trustees believe there is no private benefit flowing from any of the purposes.
