Thank you once again for your partnership with us in our international apostolic work. We take very seriously our responsibility as we make major decisions about how your gifts are used and are pleased to highlight some of the activities.

Over 50 gifts were channelled, some quite small, others substantial. These include opening up new apostolic bases, starting churches, training leaders, gathering youth on different continents and supporting work among the poor and needy.

In East and West Africa John Kpikpi (Ghana) and Edward Buria (Kenya) continue to gain influence in the nations around them. John is planting into six other West African nations and Edward is impacting a similar number in East Africa, including establishing some new national bases. Both are impacting their cultures through the broadcast media.

In India, after a period of consolidation, we are seeing fresh church planting initiatives. Training programmes for pastors and people are now equipping pioneers to move out.

Translation of literature is gathering momentum. We shall be concentrating more resources there in the coming year.

David Devenish has held Leadership Schools in several strategic nations in Eastern Europe, gathering leaders from isolated pioneering situations.

Finally, we were able to make a rapid response to two disasters this year – the flooding in UK and the crisis that followed the elections in Kenya. Your response to the latter by taking special offerings (over £200,000 to date, not included in the attached report for 2007) has resulted in hundreds being saved as they have experienced your love and compassion through food distribution, provision of mosquito nets and blankets, and support in starting up small income-generating initiatives to bring dignity and a measure of independence.

Thank you again for your on-going partnership.
