As we start a new month we can't help but think about all that took place in July:

Hundreds are hearing the Gospel.
Over 1,500 served in medical clinics.
Thousands of pounds of grain were distributed.
Three homes were built for widows.
Students excelling in exams.
Classroom blocks are getting facelifts.

God is good.

Today, we gathered for our largest Sunday service with over 900 people on campus. Our entire student body with guests from the states and a medical team from Tenwek worshiped before heading into a very impactful week on the island.

Today, we not only welcomed 30 team members from the USA, but we also kicked off a week of serving in GGCC and the surrounding communities.

We can't wait to share updates over the next few days from our Women's Conference, Pastor's Conference, construction projects, and food distributions.

We are so proud of our student-athletes who recently competed in the Sub-County Games. Athletes from GGCC's High School brought home first-place trophies in boys' and girls' soccer, netball, and volleyball.

Students are succeeding not only in the classroom but also on the courts, and we couldn't be more proud.

Did you know we have a new mission hospital on campus to keep our pupils healthy?

We are excited to announce we have received our official registration and completed the licensing.

It is difficult on the island to receive the healthcare that many need. This is just the beginning as we continue to reach our community with the Gospel and provide excellent services.

Did you know our island is only accessible by boat? Our way of life is built around the lake as fishing and subsistence farmers are our primary source of employment and what our economy thrives on.

The classroom plays a vital role in our future as it opens doors to a brighter future and brings change to our communities.
