Editor’s Note ‘En Route’ comes from the heart of the Lord, through the many talents of the staff of FCE, unto the Glory of God. If you read this edition: ‘feel it, it is here’ the excitiment, the celebrations, the adventure, and the admiration. Leaf through the theme pages and experience the excitement of a vision that is so big that it scares you. Participate in the celebrations of 21 years and lift your hands in thanksgiving for His provision, His protection and His banner that is raised. Dare to join in the many adventures of living on the edge and walking in faith. Unite in the admiration for a God who loves this world so much that He gave His only Son. We bring honour to the Creator in us who blessed us with creativity to present to you “En Route” – FCE’s real life story. A story that brings honour to the One who has put His dream in our hearts and His calling on our lives, who shaped us into His vessels to GO into His World and onto His Highway to renew minds through His Training. Join us “en route” and be inspired by our testimony of how He has transformed lives and communities, brought new life and restored relationships. Come and feel it, come and read it, come and see what the Lord has done! It is all here! Anita de Jager

ORNERSTONES C Since the very beginning the Lord has revealed four cornerstones to keep us true to our calling and focused on our vision, and these become an integral part of all FCE’s work and activities.
MISSIONS
TRAINING
The FCE emblem was given by the Lord, through a dream, to one of our staff members, Dalene Treptow. Through this revelation the Lord confirmed the vision and strategy for FCE. We consider it a precious reminder to keep us en route.
PRAYER
CURRICULUM
KEYSTONES
God’s inspired and infallible Word is the only foundation for all activities. His Cross, encompassing the world, reminds us to live a Christ-centred life. The nations in the 10/40 window under the crossbar of the cross, represent our main calling, to the unreached people groups of the world. Discipleship, where the mature believer reaches, teaches and points the student to Eternity, is foundational to all our activities. Our lifestyle and perspective should be “out of this world.”

YEARS LATER The Lord has built up and established an international mission organisation, out of nothing: The Foundation for Cross-cultural Education. Through this magazine and in this year of celebration we remember: FAITH that anchored us, HOPE that drove us and LOVE that compelled us, so that He can bring in a great harvest through FCE. We rejoice over staff members who have put their hand to the plough without looking back, and who are still building God’s Kingdom. We share about students whose minds are renewed, so that they can know God’s will. We rejoice over missionaries who are trained to lead those who live in darkness to the Light. We celebrate with the angels over the souls who came into God’s Kingdom. We cry with thankfulness for the many previously aimless, wandering children who now can read their Bibles. We laugh with fathers who can provide food for their families and mothers who are empowered to clothe and care for their children. We thank all the FCE prayer supporters who have been our right hand throughout the years and who share this harvest. And we honour Him who called us, equipped us and entrusted His vision to us. To God be the Glory!!!

ome years ago Neels de Jager had to drive all the way from Central Africa to South Africa to attend his father’s funeral. His dad had passed away unexpectedly. The journey was endless and very tiring. On that trip, while he was hurting, tired and longing for a clean toilet and a hot shower, the idea was born to start guesthouses, all the way through Africa, from the South to the North, as resting places for weary travellers. It is now ten years later and the King’s Highway Guesthouses and Rest Camps have been oases for many travel-weary tourists and missionaries. They have also proven ideal facilities for weddings and conferences. In-service training is provided for students who are interested in hospitality and tourism. The income from these guesthouses is also used to help carry the running costs of the training centres or to help finance FCE projects.
