My journey South The ink of this skilful writer became dry but the time has come to fill this page with words that proclaim His Glory! The journey started South with a team showing fruit of faith and obedience. We did an extreme overland hitch hike from Mendoza, Argentina to Lima Peru.   This journey took us 4-6 days! On the border of Chile the Lord reminded me of these words I spoke a few days ago:” All that I desire is to know Your word and walk in Your presence!”  The great test came when my day bag, with EVERYTHING...

New Zealand   I am truly convinced that the beauty of the world was cut into pieces and then God puzzled them together in the shape of an Island, New Zealand. I watched a documentary of a helicopter flying over the South Island that revealed places and beauty that no man has set foot on.  " The South Island is a mountainous Island.  As far as the eye can reach nothing is to be seen but the summits of these rocky mountains.  These mountains seem to lie so close to each other the valleys between them fade in the eye...

We were all very excited and enjoyed the day in the sun with the local people.  Just to say that these people run up a mountain  like we run a downhill.  They spend most...

The headlights of the bus lightened the entrance to the orphanage and a young boy ran to open the gate. As the door of the bus opened my heart replayed well kept memories; I am where my heart is. Standing and embracing the moment I dared to look around to find familiar things, children and or faces. Behind me I saw his smile, joyful and alive. “You are here”, I exclaimed! Lun the Kitchen boy, my boy came to greet me. Having no contact for more than a year I was hoping he was still here. With no time wasted...
