The Trust makes God’s Word more widely available. It provides portions of God’s Word in many languages, and both identifies and provides some support funding to suitable partners in the distribution and explanation of it. In most cases, portions of the Word of God are given free of charge. Locally, one volunteer meets with members of the Northern
Irish public from time to time, to promote the Christian faith and the reading of the Bible. The Trust discusses needs and areas where it can be involved in the future, to promote the Christian faith. It also provides funds for selected suitable Christian organisations whose primary function is to provide medical, physical and/or mental health relief, and spiritual help for needy persons, in the name of Christ - primarily in developing countries. Volunteers meet with some people whose lives have been changed for the better. In order to monitor effectiveness, and to plan for the future, the Trust reviews feed-back in the form of letters, emails and reports which give testimony to positive life changes, as well as reviewing reports of poor people receiving medical and spiritual help while in hospital in developing countries
