We have much for which we thank God as he has continued to bless our ministry.
- More children and young people responding to the Good News through new holidays, new Lifepath and X:site events and our schools ministry
- More churches resourced to make disciples of children and young people through new publications, growth in LightLive and local training events
- More Christians growing in discipleship through the Bible and prayer through continued growth in the number of WordLive users.
The financial headlines are:
Gift income down 3.4% to £2.87million mainly due to a decline in gifts to support our international ministry Publishing income down 6.3% to £2.6million as sales of our periodical products continue to decline Expenditure on face-to-face ministry in England and Wales down 6.7% to £2.78million. Expenditure on our digital ministry, WordLive and LightLive, down by 34% to £0.6m A net deficit of £88,000, which is a much less than we expected principally due to additional legacy income. Following a significant reshaping of the movement and cost reduction programme in 2009 we have been able to budget for a balance of income and expenditure in the current financial year. This, however, is dependent upon the continuing generous gifts of our supporters. Please consider making a gift today using one of the options below. Thank you.
