"We must be known for hope for the day we live in, as the purposes of God are always great. He will do everything needed, according to His promises for His victorious bride." - Bill Johnson   If God doesn’t build the house, the builders only build shacks.  If God doesn’t guard the city, the night watchman might as well nap.  It’s useless to rise early and go to bed late,  and work your worried fingers to the bone.  Don’t you know He enjoys giving rest to those He loves?

The moment when I think of China I start to think of all the negative things the world has spoken over this incredibly big nation. When you hear China and 1.2 billion people in one sentence, I immediately put on my straight face in disbelief. Our team had the privilege to spend 2 weeks together in Xiahe. We had to take 2 connecting flights of 2 hours each,...

At first glance you won't think that Kathmandu has so much locked up in itself. It's a poor city with many rich people.   Our time in Nepal was spectacular!   Oh, turquoise team!

Madelein, Chanelle, Annique, Anseri, Quinton and Coetzee.    When I started off thinking about writing...
