After more than 10 years of conflict, the Syrian civil war has forced the displacement of more than 5.5 million Syrians with now over 1.5 million refugees residing in Lebanon. Last year, more than 70% of Syrian refugees were living below the poverty line, and many do not have access to public services and education. Through Baptist World Aid Lebanon, GBC continues to supports programs to advance the rights of refugees, provide children and youth with access to education, and adults with vocational training to be able to generate an income.

Mother’s Heart is the only organisation providing services for women/girls in crisis pregnancies in Cambodia who want to keep their babies. They provide a unique wrap around service to disadvantaged girls and women throughout pregnancy, birth and postnatal care. Through GBC's support Mothers Heart will be able to reach over 45 clients a year and provide support with immunisations, baby baskets, safe community-based housing, contraception, breastfeeding, parent and child development education. Support also includes mediation and advocacy so that the women/girls are reunited with their families and are safe and protected in their communities. Those who are ready to work are provided with vocational training and job placement opportunities, and are supported until they can sustainably support themselves and their family.
Strong Women Talking (SWT) works to break the cycle of family and domestic violence within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and break the shame and stigma of sexual abuse. The Founder and Director, Sono, was able to break the cycle of domestic violence in her own life, and her children’s. Through Tearfund, GBC supports Sono and SWT as they bring culturally sensitive education and awareness to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, children and families in their communities. The support also helps SWT develop new ways of tackling systemic issues facing these communities.
We have eight Frontline Missionaries who work in local and global contexts and are sent and supported by a variety of different mission agencies and organisations. We as a church support the continued work of these missionaries through their respective organisations.
