5. Message from the Africa Fellowship, IVP
Priscilla Penny
 Dear GB Friends,
 Welcome to GB Africa Fellowship. The Girls’ Brigade is represented in 12 countries on the
African continent with a membership of almost 30 000. Africa is full of diversity in culture
and ministries which makes it a unique continent.
 There are a lot of challenges that the Christian family faces throughout the continent of
Africa. This calls for the need to develop a generation of Spiritually strong citizens and
Prayer Warriors. We, in the Girls' Brigade Africa Fellowship, have a passion to nurture our
girls to be able to stand up as Women and Leaders of tomorrow with strong Christian and
Social foundations.
 Wherever you are in Africa, the Girls' Brigade is for you if you care about the future of our
beautiful continent. We aim to develop a holistic girl with a four – square programme
covering, Spritual, Physical, Social and Education.
 The current leadership of the fellowship was ushered into office in August, 2008 in Abuja,
Nigeria. It is an honour and a challenge for me to lead the fellowship and pray that together,
we can accomplish the aim of the organisation of helping the young people to know Christ and
find true enrichment of life.

Asia to help birth a generation of Esther generation of girls who know the reason they are
here on earth. We need all whose hearts are open, whose hands are willing, whose feet
will go. Will you ride the waves with us until all of Asia has a GB presence?

7. A message from Jennifer Box International Vice President (Pacific)
 Dear GB Friends,
Welcome to the Pacific Fellowship. The Girls’ Brigade is represented in
10 countries in the Pacific, each with their own unique culture (see list
to left).
As a Christian Organisation we provide activities that will provide the
girls with values and life skills, as they develop spiritually, physically,
educationally and socially.
 Communication would be the biggest problem in the Fellowship, even
though all countries are contactable by email now; this is not always
reliable with power outages and tele communications sometimes being
down.
I praise God for the many Churches who have taken on Girls’ Brigade as
a mission outreach in their Pacific countries. While membership has
its highs and lows, everyone is encouraging young girls and women in
their communities to “Seek, Serve and Follow Christ.”
