Jesus JunXion – Proclaiming Freedom, Restoring Hope
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners…” (Isaiah 61:1)
From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised. – Psalm 113
:3
Founded on this promise, Jesus JunXion has been a place of refuge, healing, and restoration for over a decade. Established with a deep burden for the broken, we have worked to bring beauty instead of ashes, joy instead of mourning, and praise instead of despair (Isaiah 61:3). Our mission is simple yet powerful—to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need. At the heart of Jesus JunXion is a dedicated team, anchored in faith and love:
Gwen and Andre du Preez: The founders, who first answered God’s call to bring hope to the lost. Sloan and Chantell: Faithfully serving in ministry and management, ensuring the ministry thrives in the North West province. Gwen Dwyer: The mother of us all—the one who carries us in prayer, keeps us grounded, and nurtures this ministry with wisdom and unwavering faith. In the past fourteen years, Jesus JunXion has established soup kitchens, homes of safety for abused and abandoned children, and places of solitude for the weary. Through these efforts, countless lives have been touched, not just with physical provision but with the life-transforming love of Christ. On November 5, 2020, Jesus JunXion expanded its mission through Anchored in Hope—a new chapter dedicated to taking the gospel to the coastal regions of South Africa and Africa. Gwen and Andre, stepping out in faith, embarked on a journey aboard a 34-foot sailboat, bringing the hope of Christ to those along the shores. Through this journey, we have learned that true hope is found only in Jesus. The things we once held dear have faded, replaced by a deeper trust in the One who called us first. No matter our failures, no matter our missteps, God remains faithful—providing, guiding, and revealing His purpose in ways we never imagined. Jesus JunXion continues to serve the North West province with unwavering commitment, ensuring that those in need do not go unnoticed. Every meal served, every child rescued, every heart encouraged is a testimony of God's relentless love. We are a people called by God, planted as oaks of righteousness to display His splendor. This is Jesus JunXion.
