Thank you, Mr Chairman. In this report, I will outline the work of the Operations Department during 2021 and will also share some more recent developments. I hope it will encourage all of you present and help you as you pray for this work. As I wrote in my last report for the quarterly record, I was encouraged recently when reading a report on public attitudes in the United Kingdom towards the Christian faith. Second only to growing up in a Christian family, reading the Bible was the main way in which respondents said that they had come to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. It may be that some of you have been told that people do not often come to faith by reading the Bible. You may even have been told that Bible distribution is not worthwhile. Well, if you hear such a claim again, think of this large survey, which strongly indicates that the opposite is true. Reading the Bible is one of the primary means used of the Holy Spirit by which people come to faith. The work that the Society is engaged in, the work that you support, is therefore a vital and worthwhile work. Our motto is the Word of God among all nations, and we seek to distribute the scriptures as widely as possible. Last year, through the Society, the Lord enabled 4.3 million scriptures and scripture items in 38 languages to be distributed to recipients in 108 countries. Full lists of the languages and the countries can be found in the annual report quarterly record. Over 1.6 million Bibles, scripture portions and scripture items were granted free of charge to institutions and individuals at home and abroad. These are recipients who have passed our grant application process and they include missionaries, evangelists, pastors and ministers, churches, prisons, schools, care homes, military establishments and immigration removal centres. Let me read you an email that we received recently from a prison chaplain in Yorkshire, which is typical of many such emails sent to us. We had supplied the prison with various Bibles, scripture portions, and scripture items for distribution to the prisoners. This is what he wrote. Hi, thanks so much for your very kind donation of all the items you sent us at the prison. I have to say it was a bit like Christmas, or I felt a bit like the child in the sweet shop. There are things in boxes you sent that have already gone out to the guys, such as bookmarks, daily light devotionals, Bible journeys, puzzle books, and Bibles. and I've already had other guys asking where I can get one from. I will evaluate all the bits you sent and see which will be most useful for us and if it is then okay with you, I will get back to you and let you know what else will be of help to us. In a place where people are used to being told no, you can't have that, we don't have the funds for that, it was so nice for a change to be able to say yes, you can have that, and that there are people out there who do care about you and want you to have a chance to read a Bible, or yes, you can have a nice bookmark, and not just a piece of toilet roll to mark the page in the book you are reading. This was such a blessing for me yesterday to be able to go and give these things out and I just want to say a massive thank you for enabling me to do this. Blessings and prayers. And then it was signed by the prison chaplain. A few examples of larger grants that were awarded during 2021 are as follows. 6,500 Bibles in the Sinti language sent to India, 6,500 Portuguese Bibles and New Testaments sent to Mozambique, a Portuguese-speaking country in southern Africa, 3,000 English Bibles sent to Botswana, 7,000 Spanish New Testaments sent to Chile, 4,200 English Bibles and other scripture items to Nigeria, and details of some other large grants are included in the quarterly record. All such grants, whether they be large or small, are sent out carefully, and more importantly, prayerfully, in the confidence that the Lord will use these copies of his word to accomplish that which he pleases. We also distribute the Holy Scriptures by selling copies, often at heavily discounted prices. Most items we sell will eventually be given away free of charge on the mission field, here in the UK or overseas. The total number of Scriptures and Scripture items sold worldwide in 2021 was 2.7 million, and of these, 1.5 million were under license to other publishers. As you would expect, the COVID-19 situation continued to impact the operations work of the Society during 2021 in various ways, as it had done in 2020. But again, we can testify that the Lord caused the work to prosper despite these difficulties. Regarding the public scripture display campaigns, I'm pleased to report that the pilot project which I mentioned last year to display scripture posters in bus shelters was successful and we're therefore planning for 2023, for the first time, a national bus shelter scripture display campaign rather than a railway station campaign. So please look out for this form which most of you or all of you should have received with your quarterly record in which you can consider sponsoring a poster to be displayed in your area and the bookings do need to be made by the end of this month if possible please. Please pray that there will be no hindrance to the display of scripture posters on bus shelters as there has been some hindrance in the railway stations and pray that the Lord will bless the project. In 2021, the UK Auxiliaries of the Society were responsible for circulating over 19,000 scriptures and scripture items. The vast majority were granted to prisons, schools, hospitals, and care homes. This included over 5,000 Bibles and 1,600 New Testaments. And I also would like to record our thanks for the many Auxiliary Committee members who give their time to pursue the Society's aim in their local regions. This year, several of the Auxiliaries have been very busy distributing the Platinum Jubilee Bibles. So far, 40,000 copies of this special Bible have been distributed, many through the Auxiliaries and others through churches and individuals. Let us pray for these children who have received these Bibles and their families. Perhaps many of them will be led to look again at their new Bibles as they consider the death of that one who was commemorated by those Bibles. Last year, we were present at various conferences and events throughout the UK, and we were glad that we could hold a normal AGM after the restrictions of 2020. In March this year, we held an open day at William Tyndale House, which was well attended and that many of you will have been present for. And as has been said, just two days ago, we held a wonderful text and translation conference at William Tyndale House. For those of you who were not able to attend, it was a very blessed and useful and encouraging time, and we plan to release audio and video recordings on our website in due course. I'd like to thank each member of the Operations Department in London for their hard work during 2021. Without them, the work which I've described would not have been completed. Our warehouse manager, Mr Gary Hayes, will soon be retiring after many years of faithful service to the society. We appreciate him and his work and he'll be difficult to replace, but we will soon be looking for a warehouse supervisor to take over from him. It is a sober thing that two brethren associated with the department have been called home since the last AGM. Our former sales representative to the retail trade, Mr John Tennant, who passed away in December, and the most committed volunteer, Mr Jude D'Souza, who passed away in June. We miss them greatly, but are comforted to know that for them it is better by far. I hope this report concerning the work of the Operations Department has been helpful. May the Lord continue to bless the Society as we all work together to circulate the Holy Scriptures for the glory of God and the salvation of men. Thank you.
