Nepal has been wild so far In the past week we've spent much time with the Church here. Encouraging our family in Christ. The team split up into 2 groups. 7 of us visited house fellowships everyday and attended a few different church services. Bringing the Word of God and seeing people set free! Experiencing the Lord's favor. While the other 4 hiked 8 hours up a mountain to the village of Chepang. There they also attended church service and prayed and encouraged the new believers! Witnessing the Splendor of God and His Creation. Being touched by the humility and...

India is hectic. For the first week, we were in Delhi, doing some serious bible studying. Then we took a train to a big orphanage. Our goal there was to repaint the inside of the boys hostel and to provide a new set of undies for each child, along with chilling with the kids, and hosting an evening program every night. Except for one thing..we didn’t have any money to do this So we scraped, sanded and painted in faith, trusting that our Father is The Provider. And after only 5 days of fund raising...
Started off this sweet country by spending 2 nights in the Tel Aviv Airport. After this we camped beside the Sea of Galilee and karyoke bar ( not really , just felt that way from our lovely neighbours haha) It was so cool having bible study there, reading about Jesus's life. It kinda made the scriptures more real, seeing and being in the places where Jesus did ministry. Next we went to Jerusalem. We helped out the church we were staying at by picking their olive trees and cleaning their gardens a bit and...
This is the blog for the first 2 weeks of Russia. If you wanna hear about the time in the village for the rest of the time, check with Sabra! For two weeks we were in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Northbound was split up in this time, so it was Riaan, Tiaan, Dedre, Sabra, Robynne and I. Our contact there is a sweet family from Australia. We helped out at an english camp for about 25 kids aged from 6 to 16. Global challengers were in charge of helping the kids learn more english and a sharing time every...
Lize, Marykee, Tiaan, Ryno and i went to Laos together. Before we started, we received scripture about patiently waiting on the Lord. Which is exactly what happened. For 3 days we stayed in a park beside the Mekong River, just sitting and waiting and praying. But because of our Father’s goodness and faithfulness , the story doesn’t end there. On the third day things began to happen. Through meeting a guy and helping him fix someone’s air conditioner in some house, we were led to find the christians. I never liked christians so...
Coming from India to beautiful, green and clean Thailand was nuts. This is the blog for my half of the team: Marykee, Annami, Ruan, Ryno and I. We went to Phuket. For the past 2 weeks we’ve been working at painting a local school , while staying in the classroom. Learning to serve with integrity and unity – just like Jesus. Starting our days off by the exegesis of Philippians has been awesome. Discovering deeper truths about Jesus and who we are in Him. So good dude* And some evenings we caught a ride to the...
Okay here's my halfway year blog. Im thankful for every place weve been so far some more challenging than others. But I'd still rather be here than anywhere else. I seriously love the friends I've made. They're a real blessing Im struggling to use my words today , so this one might be short.. Im thankful for everything my Father has done in me so far. I can't imagine what He's planning for the rest of the year, but I know there's so much more. I just wanna be open and obedient Thanks for all your prayers, love and support Jesus...
Ho Chi Minh city- We attended a bunch of different English classes at coffee shops and places. The Vietnamese people love practising english. Just shining our lights with love and joy. We also helped out at a rad coffee shop. Working shifts, hangin with the staff. Dedre + Ruan even had the privilege of making some live music a couple of evenings! Nha Trang - We spent some time in a village meeting with the elderly, blessing them with some food packs. Was depressing seeing the cute little grannies worshipping their idols, no hope. Noticed the real difference between the...
Indonesia was definitely a highlight for some of us. We met some seriously rad people. Our schedule was jam packed. Spent the mornings at a christian elementary school teaching English and morning devotions with the classes. And had time with the awesome teachers. Some days we went to public schools and hung out with the Muslim kids too. Basically every evening was spent with the Destiny Generation church people. Like student aged. We had great times of fellowship and worshipping together, praying with everyone. We got to know them like friends, they're so cool. Cell groups, prayer walks, teaching times. And...
