TREASURER’S REPORT
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. I want to take this opportunity to thank the churches that have paid their
budgets in 2013/2014 church year. Again in this year we saw some churches paying late and others not paying
at all and as such there was no growth in the finances of the District. Budgets that were paid later than
December 2014 may not be reflected in this report but have been considered for calculations of 2014/2015
budgets.

Restrictions and limitations This report is strictly private and confidential and is intended solely for the information and use of the Nazarene Financial Committee and the District Assembly. This report may not be disclosed to third parties without prior written consent. Tha audit team assumes no responsibility to any user of the report other than the District Assembly. It is the responsibility of the District Assembly along with the Financial Committee to ensure adherence to good governance practices, to assess potential risks within the District and implement appropriate system of internal controls to address such risks. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the District to ensure that there is an effective control system in place to prevent and detect fraud. The report is based on documentation, information and explanations supplied to us, and from discussions with various church leaders and the financial committe. We have relied upon the documentation, information and explanations made available to us in good faith to conclude on the information included therein albeit that we determine such to be reasonable in the circumstances in which such was received.
Section 1: Summary A Church District audit is an independent evaluation of the financial reports and records and the internal controls of the Church District by qualified person or persons for the purpose of reasonably verifying the reliability of financial reporting, determining whether assets are being safeguarded, and whether the law and procedures are being complied with.
AUDITOR’S
REPORT
2/14/2015 Financial Year 2013/2014
I completed my review of the District Financial records and reports and have been assessed in line
with the Generally Accepted Auditing Principles. The details and findings relating to this review are
presented in this report.
17
Section 2: Foreword and explanation of an audit An audit is an examination or review of financial statements and records to determine that they present fairly the financial position and results of operation for the period then ended. It does not, for example, say that an audit must be performed by a professional, or that it must conform to generally accepted auditing standards, or that it must be prefaced by the usual representations and caveats that auditing firms incorporate into their audits. An AUDIT is meant to be a process that provides reasonable assurance that good stewardship is being used in handling and accounting for the funds and other assets of the District. Conducting an audit is not a symbol of distrust:
It is a mark of responsibility.
It is good stewardship demonstrated for all to see.
It is a message to local churches that you care about their contributions.
An annual audit is the best way we know of:
To protect the persons the District elects to offices of financial responsibility from unwarranted charges of careless or improper handling of funds;
To build the trust and confidence of the financial supporters of the church in the way their money is being accounted for (trust and confidence lead to improved patterns of financial support);
To set habits of fiscal responsibility to assure that when there is turnover in personnel there will be continuity in accountability and nothing will fall through the cracks;
To provide checks and balances for sums received and expended.
NB: Church of the Nazarene Manual 2013 – 2017
203.25. To provide for the auditing of all district treasurers’ books annually, to at least the minimum standard required by national or state law if applicable, or other recognized professional standards, either by a District Auditing Committee, a committee of independent examiners, or by such other appropriately qualified persons duly elected by the District Advisory Board.

3.1 Issues arising from the District Budget report:
3.1.1 Churches are not submitting reports on time.
The financial information regarding the churches was not complete for all churches concerned at the time of the audit. It was advised by the treasurer that other churches forwarded their reports late and also that there is no clear cut date for submission.
3.1.2 Churches are not adhering to paying the budgets on time.
After careful study of the District financial records (Bank statement) it was realized that churches continued to pay amounts for the previous financial year within the current financial year which creates confusion as to where the money belongs.
3.1.3 Churches are ignoring to pay their budgets.
During the financial year end 2013/2014 the financial records of the District revealed that there are some churches that deliberately ignore their budgets totally without any explanation.

Section 5: Issues arising from the income and expenditure 5.1 The District is incurring a huge amount on Bank Charges
The District has incurred an amount of R3224.16 on bank charges alone for the financial year end 2013/2014. Every time the district issues a cheque it is a total of R90 which R45 is for issuing and another R45 is for cashing the cheque.
The other issue on the bank charges is that when the district wants to print a bank statement it has to be charged for it.
5.2 Lack of independency on cheque signatories
Through interview with the District treasurer, Mrs Sepeng, it was realized that one of the signatories is Mr. Sepeng and the second one is Mr. Mtyeku who is a member at the same church as Mr. and Mrs Sepeng.
5.3 Bank statements send by post not received
The bank sends the bank statements to the post office box of Mr. Kanju and such documents have never been forwarded to the financial committee.
5.4 No register for cheques issued
The financial committee does not have a register in place when cheques are issued and the committee only relies on the short description on the side of the cheque. The register should give a full description of the cheque, date, to whom, cheque number. The register would be used to verify the existence of the payment especially in cases where the cheque book is lost and will be used as a tool to authorize the payments.
5.5 No controls exits
The district does not have controls in place to ensure that the District Finances are properly and effectively managed.
Section 6: Random Summary of Challenges arising Church level
6.1 Due to the large number of Churches not reaching their budgets or not paying at all a random
selection was made and the pastors or the treasurers of the churches were called to try and
understand the challenges that other churches are facing.
6.2 Different reasons were given and explanations as to why churched are not able to meet their
obligations.

The church has an electricity bill to the amount of around R100 000 which has made arrangements with the municipality to pay at least R5000 per month excluding the current electricity usage. The balance of this debt is still over R50 000 excluding interest. This debt was brought about the hail storm that occurred in 2013. The hailstorm left the church windows briken and the Mission house requiring renovations.

SDMI (Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International) Superintendents Report Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ, to all Church Boards, Pastors and our DS we appreciate your presence in this thirty-fifth annual convention. If one looks back we come far as the Western District and a lot need to be done before our departure on planet earth. SUCCESSFUL STORIES Children’s day in Mamelodi is one of our successful stories. This event at District level was organised by Mr Maseko. We need a lot of such events. We also organised a mini workshop which was attended by Danhouse, Mountain of the Lord, Mabopane, Mamelodi and Worship Centre. Our theme of the day was operating SDMI which is now called NDMI (Nazarene Discipleship Ministries International). We need to get use to this new interesting name, I love it. We also had a drawn annual programme for events in the District, which included couples, children, single parents and elderly. We appreciate programmes and all activities done by women, men, youth as NYI and NMI programmes under good leadership. We had a programme for Men’s Ministries and Women’s Ministries, which ran successfully. Again the District Men were able to win a trophy for attendance and offering at the Annual Nazarene Men’s Conference (NAMECO). District Women were also represented at the Annual Nazarene Women Extravaganza.
26
ADMINISTRATION This area needs serious attention if we have to excel in NDMI. If you check our assembly report most of the people chosen in the leadership are not even active in local churches. It will be proper to elect through the consultation with DS to choose other people who will work for the advancement of the District. We see a strong trend of all NDMI working on their own. All these structures should start co-operating, because we do have a common goal. United we stand divided we fall. All structures and committees should report their financial position like Adult Ministries (Men & Women), NMI and NYI. Our church totally believes in transparency and accountability. Men’s ministry has opened their account that has R500 with Standard bank. The NDMI cannot operate effectively without a budget or financial resources. The account that was opened for Children Ministries in the Post Bank should be revisited and direction should be given by either this convention or the DAB or the finance committee on how NDMI can be financed. THE FUTURE The future is bright, our call of duty is still on course, let’s all attend meetings when called, let’s know and call our leaders when we need help. Any failure to any church is a failure to the District. Know your church and know its operational system. Church Boards should encourage all ages, all members to attend NDMI classes. Let us not compromise this, this is non-negotiable because is our genetic code as Nazarenes. We are called to make disciples. May GOD richly bless you. Kindly submitted by Abel Sepeng
DISTRICT NMI PRESIDENT’S REPORT To the District Superintendent Rev. M.M. Bopape, Pastors, local church NMI presidents, the District NMI council members, distinguished delegates from our local churches and visitors, I greet u in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a great honour to present this report to you of which without the help of our district NMI council and the local NMI presidents would not have been possible. MEMBERSHIP Statistically we have declined as compared to last year where we reported 1 537 members. It is with great disappointment to report that this year we have 1 024 members. We have a decrease of 3513 members. Let our focus not move from our campaign of winning the lost unto Jesus as is our theme of (MAKING CHRIST LIKE DISCIPLES IN THE NATION Respectfully submitted, Mrs. R. R. Maluleka.

DISTRICT SUNDAY SCHOOL REPORT Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ. You stop to exist if you don’t fulfil your purpose in the Lord. THERE IS A NORMAL TREND OF FUNCTIONALITY IN THE FOLLOWING OFFICES: 1. Women’s ministry – all planned activated were supported by all churches. 2. Marriage and Family Life – even though the attendance for activities is under average. Two seminars were organized and attended. 3. NYI – all planned activities were supported by all churches. 4. NMI – even though offerings are not consistent. KEY ISSUES FOR THE FUTURE:
- District needs good leaders who will commit to working for district. The District is rich of capable
leaders who are very active at local churches and can bring innovate ideas to the district. Pastors
can encourage their members to participate as leaders at district level.
- Churches through Pastors’ encouragement need to support district activities. Pastors can
encourage their boards/councils to plan local activities around the district calendar or include
district activities as part of their local programmes.
- Western District’s existence need to be re-affirmed or re-stated. The local churches must be
aware that they don’t exist in isolation; they belong to this great organization and that the
district is formed by the local churches combined. Pastors can make members aware on this and
just give proper direction when it comes to the district issues. I believe that NYI and Women’s
Ministries are the two threads that are keeping the district together. I was glad to be in the
combined Easter Conference, this is another thread and we need others to keep the district
together.
- Children’s ministry needs leaders who will organize activities at district level where the kids can
get together with others and just be more encouraged in their faith.
- Adult ministries need active leaders to lead men’s ministry and senior’s ministry. The current
leaders for Marriage and Family Life are very passionate about this ministry and are taking it to
the next level with all our support.
ACKNOWLEDGENETS: We, District Sunday School board, would like to thank all the local churches who came for the convention. Humbly submitted by District Sunday School President

Western District NYI 2013-14
President’s Report To the DS, Pastors and everyone be greeted in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Firstly I would like to thank God for the grace and mercy upon my life. The strength he gave me for the entire year. We thank God we managed to have all our planned events as per the year plan. I would like to thank the committee and local committees that attended the meetings we hosted in order to plan together the year ahead and convey the feedback to their churches. I would like to thank God for the life of our DS Mrs Bopape. You’re such an inspiration to me, your guidance and support means a lot and I really appreciate the motivation. Mr Maseko and Mr Bokaba thank you for your support and advices that made a difference in this journey. Not forgetting Dr T.W Ngobeni for your advices that got me through this journey. I want to take this moment and give a special thank you, to some of the committee members for the commitment they have shown this year. The district is looking for young vibrant leaders like you. May the Lord bless you even more and guide you as you keep serving in our district. You took your time to make sure all the work is done. Challenges The lack of commitment from NYI- Western District board-members. Some members never attended meetings and events. Same with some local churches and their presidents. The Camp that was organised was never a success due to lack of commitment from churches. It takes a slot of efforts and sacrifices to organise a camp. Finding a camp site is one of the most challenging missions. Two committee members had to give from their pocket to pour petrol on the first trip and on that trip we used a car that was offered by one member of the NYI-WD board. On the second trip my car was used and again we had to use our money for the petrol. Sadly later on that day we got involved in an accident and the car was seriously damaged. Glory to God after a month it was fixed and we used it again to look for the second camp site but after we got the second place still churches never committed. It is hurting and discouraging to go through all this for nothing. The prayer of my heart is that God raises young people in our district who will work for him in truth and in spirit. A change in our district will take place when people start to take responsibility, from local and district committees. I would like to encourage Pastors to motivate and know NYI-WD year plan and forbid any event contrary to the plan. And please pastors and parents I see a huge gap between yourselves and NYI. If you want the best for NYI start getting involved in their meetings especially Pastors. YOUNG PEOPLE REMEMBER NYI IS ABOUT SERVING GOD AND PLEASING HIM ALONE. MOST OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE 90% ARE NOT SPIRITUAL. WE WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH HOLLINESS BUT MORE OF ENTERTAINMENT. WE TAKE NYI MEETINGS AS A PLACE OF SOCIAL GATHERINGS. IT IS TIME WE GO BACK TO GOD AND SERVE HIM IN TRUTH AND SPIRIT. PASTORS IF WE CAN’T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NOW THEN BE ASSURED TOMORROW WE WONT HAVE A CHURCH THAT’S ALIVE AND THE DISTRICT ASWELL. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SHOW THE WORLD THE RIGHT WAY TO HEAVEN, IF WE OURSELVES ARE NOT COMMITED. I suggest if u want to have a successful NYI choose people whom are committed and matured to the things of God. Personally I will advise that a new committee be people who always attend and supported district plans. May you all have a blessed and a fruitful 2015. Good luck for the new committee. Written and submitted by TP Mokokoana.

District Advisory Board (DAB) Report
2014 – 2015 Financial Year
Western District Church of the Nazarene
Introduction, composition and changes
Greetings in the wonderful name of my Lord and Saviour. Christ is still King of my Life.
The 2014 – 2015 Western District Advisory Board (DAB) is composed of 3 elders namely: Rev
Phumzile Phago, Rev. Mandla Mnisi and Rev Eric Mtyeku as well as 3 lay men; namely: Mr.
Rest Kanju (Secretary), Mr. Moleko Maseko and Mr. Lucas Ntsane. The District Superintendent
is the chairperson of the DAB.
The District Advisory Board met on the 7th
– 8th
of March 2014 for a Planning Session held at
the Good News Conference Centre. This meeting was a success and very inspirational. At this
meeting, the DAB decided to set a five year plan in line with the District Superintendent’s vision
for Western District which among others includes:
• Improving Pastors’ salaries
• Housing support and benefits as stipulated in the manual
Planting of new churches – our district is big – we need to grow our district to reach all
corners and boundaries of the district – from Warmbath to Zeerust. We need to have a
district Evangelist who will lead our plan of church planting and this will in-turn help us
to grow in our district. The District therefore need to support planting of new churches
financially
• To ensure that our Pastors have favorable working environment and they’re able to work
effectively in their churches.
Furthermore, the DAB dealt with a number of issues relating to the Office of the DS and smooth
running of the District. Saulsville Church of the Nazarene has shown and expressed its interest to
join our District from Gauteng District.
39
The DAB recognizes and appreciates the work done by Lay Pastors, their hard work is noticed
and we are very proud of them. We therefore want to urge the Western District to support their
calling through prayers and any other possible support.
Conclusion
The DAB acknowledges that 2014 has not been an easy year for our district; however we still
believe that we have the capacity and capability to improve for the better. We recognize
individual skills, talents and expertise and as a result it is of paramount importance to earmark
and groom district members for a succession plan as future DAB members. Finally, we would
like to request your prayers for us as we lead the District.
Humbly submitted
Rest Kanju
Western District DAB Secretary
