    We as an orange team are settings this world on fire. Since the last blog that Liesl wrote we had some amazing times. We learned so much from each other and the team really grew as a unit. Everyone is really filling their role well.   Liesl (Team leader) Yvonne(Food) Johann(Finance) Henri(Travel/communication) We have set out from our initial base camp in Jefferies and moved just down the road to the VCSV camp and received some amazing teachings. We then had a challenge from Jefferies to Mdumbi which is located in the Transkei. Again some amazing teaching and some...

   We were priviledge enouth to visit the lovely people in the Transkei. At first we had to get there on our own from Jeffreys bay. This was the first official challenge we had and it was a lot of fun and a good way to learn more about our team which is the orange team. We were given R690 to get there which is about $120 for a 700km trip and we had to buy food and to various other tasks including hugging a pig and eating "run aways" which is boiled chicken feet. We started hicking to Humansdorp where...

Hi All After a long time that I have not writen a blog I am back and ready for the new "adventures" that God has placed before me. We are currently in South-America in Bolivia and is planning to go to Peru. We are on our Luke 10 journey but we have descided that we will approach this journey a bit differently that what we set out to do. We have descided to sit down and submit to God and listen what he has to say to us before we just go and do things. We set out from Sao Paulo in...

  Sitting here in the Internet shop and knowing that we have to say good bye to Malaysia and the people we met is heart braking. We had such an awe sum time and it IS as if we are part of the family, especially Ben and his family.   Me and Johann broke away from the larger group to come help with some IT difficulties that the ministry in Malaysia was experiencing. We did from the most basic of carrying computers to setting up servers and building websites. I still don't think that we know what kind of difference...

Today was my last day at work. Very sad but very exciting in the same breath. As usual there was a lot to take care of and a lot that pop up in the last minute. The time with my fellow workers was only 3 years but it feels like I knew them forever. I hope and pray that they all stay in touch and remember me everytime i write something new on this blog. For those of you that is going through the same thing: Good luck and GOD bless. For those of you that is still thinking and not...

In the year we have had some up, down, left and right moments. I will share a few with you...     If you are lonely a tree seems to be "someone" that you can open your heart to  If this does not work there is always a Johan(n) to fill the gap :) Most of the time we struggle with finances and we have to look at cleaver ideas like ensuring we get the eggs that comes from chickens that date stamp their eggs Sometimes we are luck and get some veriety in our meal ooo even better we sometimes...

  For us as orange team this was a pretty hard time since half of as stayed in Thailand and the rest of us went to Malaysia. I can however say that joining up again was great and we instantly started to share stories and felt back at home. We surprised the girls with some orange juice, balloons and yes chocolates.   We also made food for the south bound and it was a great success. We decided as south bound to do this so we can save on expenses and as we found out on time as well. It also...
