Join Us in Reflecting on 2024

End of Year Pastor’s Report – 2024

Greetings in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we reflect on the blessings of 2024, I am delighted to share the incredible milestones that the House of Faith has achieved through God’s grace and your unwavering support.

Key Achievements in 2024

• Families Assisted: 19 families were supported with housing over the past 12 months, providing stability and hope during challenging times.

• Bible Donations: 250 Bibles were donated, spreading the Word of God and strengthening faith.

• Ministerial Training: 9 ministers received training, equipping them to diligently and love to carry out God’s work.

• Pastoral Support: 579 individuals received prayer, counselling, and guidance through our Facebook groups, demonstrating the power of technology in ministry.

• Baptisms: 25 individuals publicly affirmed their faith in Christ through baptism.

• Community Interventions: 31 targeted interventions were carried out, addressing pressing community needs.

• Food Bank Usage: 29 families accessed our food bank in the past six months, highlighting its vital role in the community. Our food bank has served 6,226 meals in the last six months – a remarkable achievement made possible by God’s grace.

Growth in Our Online Ministry

Our various Facebook groups have continued to grow, with over 10,600 members across three groups, all thriving year after year. These groups have become a source of countless testimonies as members share their experiences of God’s goodness.

Additionally, we’ve welcomed more passionate volunteers committed to praying for others and addressing their welfare needs. Their dedication has been a tremendous blessing to the House of Faith.

Worship and Ministry Expansion

This year saw a significant increase in attendance at our Bible study groups, prayer meetings, and Sunday services. To accommodate this growth and deepen our spiritual commitment, we introduced:

• Three weekly prayer meetings (scaled back from six for sustainability) have been ongoing for the past six months and are now an established part of our ministry.

• Three additional services provide more opportunities for worship and fellowship.

Gift Aid Registration

We are thrilled to announce that the House of Faith is now eligible for Gift Aid, which will help maximise the impact of your generous donations. We encourage everyone to use this opportunity, as it will significantly support our work.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we step into 2025, we do so with a vision of expanding our apostolic ministry into new areas worldwide. We ask for your continued prayers as we embark on this mission. Additionally, with several projects planned, your ongoing support will be crucial in fulfilling God’s work.

Call for Volunteers.

As the House of Faith grows, so does the need for more hands to sustain and expand our efforts. We are especially looking for volunteers to:

• Support our media projects, including uploading meeting content to social media.

• Assist with the food bank and other community initiatives.

Appreciation and Encouragement

I want to thank everyone at the House of Faith for your donations, prayers, and encouragement throughout the year. Your contributions have been instrumental in sustaining and growing our ministry. As we prepare for the year ahead, I encourage you to give generously to support our projects and ministry work.

Feedback and Collaboration

Finally, I welcome your feedback and suggestions, which are invaluable for improving our church life. Your willingness to collaborate inspires our staff and administration to serve you better.

I am truly blessed and proud to be your pastor. May God’s grace continue to abound in our lives and ministry.

With gratitude and prayers,

Apostle Peter Owatemi
