In a few hours time we'll be leaving to Jinka in the south of Ethiopia. A place where killing someone of the other tribe with a spear or an AK-47 is nothing out of the ordinary. It is a place where chiefs rule and there word is law. We are going to visit an orphanage where mingi children who were saved from the dead, are raised and looked after.   To read more about mingi and the tribes near Jinka go to this website...  >> www.drawnfromwater.org<<

    Cambodia – Thailand – Hong Kong Hope – Springs Eternal, by Johannes Wagner       The Bible teaches us that without VISION , hope for the future or revelation about the future, people perish ! (Prov 29>18).     In Cambodia you can travel from one place of Phnom Penh, the capital city we stayed in and experience complete hopelessness and upon entering another area, feel Hope rise within you. It is really a metaphor of different areas of our lives... In one area of our lives, perhaps finances we feel hopeless, yet upon experiencing love in...

(A view from the city Panjaechel where we were staying) Firstly I want to tell about the revival in the team. We have been working on our unity as a team so much this year but this revival...

This is what my leg looks like after some insect of some form or shape (in Zanzibar) launched a feeding frenzy on me 4 weeks ago.  In a month's time the itching hasn't even stopped.  Healing comes slowly in Africa...Ai.

As part of our mandate to reach impoverished areas in the world we have a strong mission to look after orphans.  Thus one of our ongoing projects has been the consistent investing into the lives of orphans in India. Over the past few years significant amounts of energy and funds have been ploughed into two orphanages in India that GCEX has a special relationship with. Despite this some parts of the orphanages are in serious disrepair and need urgent attention. In September and December this year two teams are preparing to leave for India on an Impact India expedition. During...
