Thank you

Now spring has arrived, there is an excitement about the opportunities and hope ahead. For Church Growth Trust (CGT) it is also an opportunity to look back on what the Lord has done over the last year.

You will have seen some of their faces and read some of their stories. These are the churches CGT has worked with over the year. They have been remarkable and their commitment inspiring. So often it starts with trustees who take the bold step of passing on their buildings CGT to allow other churches to continue the Lord’s work in their communities or because they want to benefit from the help that CGT can give them.

CGT’s staff and trustees rejoice in the work the Lord enabled them and the churches they have worked with to do over the last year and have some highlights to share with you:

• In 2022, CGT was gifted or appointed as sole trustee of 10 church properties;

• Seven new custodian/holding trusteeships were taken on;

• 26 churches were helped with advice on building issues or potential building projects;

• Six building or refurbishment projects were either started or completed for CGT’s occupying churches; and

• Two new staff members and one new trustee were appointed.

The staff team at Church Growth Trust is truly grateful to God for all that has been achieved during the last year. He has been faithful in providing for the ministry with the resources that were needed, keeping everyone going through busy and stressful times.

Also, CGT would like to thank you for working with the team in many different capacities. For encouraging them, for speaking well of CGT and for being gracious if expectations have not been met. CGT looks forward to working with you and seeing the Kingdom grow further in 2023.

May the Lord give you fresh vision and direction for the year ahead as you seek His will.
