Somewhere close to nowhere a river bends and flows freely through a remote dryland. It’s a place where the hot summer sun makes the earth pay its tax in the form of water in exchange for its energy and promise of growth. It’s a place where insects rule the ground and the call of the fish eagle sounds.   It’s a place where God uses the dusk air as a canvas to paint a new masterpiece every day.   With every sunset comes a new promise of a cool night. It’s a place where the stars rule the night sky...

Walking into global I was still very insecure and uncertain and didn't know what to expect at all.  I walked into an enviroment that was judgement-free and so full of love and acceptance. Within 2 weeks the team became my family.  In the past few weeks I've learned more about loving and serving than I have in my life. I've learned  about suffering and rejoicing in it. I've learned so much about fellowship with God and man and I've learned how vulnerability can bring people closer together.  I came to Global seeking adventure but on the way I found myself,...

When we arrived at Jeffrey's Bay on the 1st of June, we felt we had lost opportunities of adventure and experiencing Jesus in the nations- because we came back home six months too early. We were hit by the harsh reality of covid-19 regulations, being unable to greet our global community whom we last saw at the beginning of March. One thing we re-discovered is that we need to be more flexible and that God is using us in ways we couldn't have planned for or even imagined. We had to let Jesus drive while we followed in the passenger...

Hogsback, a place where nature envelopes you, where the forest aroma fills your nostrils, where the earth is alive, rivers flow and God’s creation worships Him. However, Hogsback isn’t known for any of that but rather for it’s heavy spiritual atmosphere, but God used us to represent His kingdom there by using us as His light in the darkness.   We could really see God working in people’s lives despite us and using us as the broken vessels we are to lead people into His Kingdom.   Being surrounded by Nature really reminded me that God is Lord of the...

We went to Johannesburg as our first ministry point. Going into Johannesburg I wasn’t prepared for all the things God would do in my life and the promises he would make for Johannesburg.   In Johannesburg I had the privilege to get to know the people within the city and I had a chance to work with the real gold of the city, the people.   God made it very clear through multiple prophecies that He has REVIVAL in store for Johannesburg. God also miraculously healed me from ADD. On the contrary to what I was expecting of Johannesburg, the...

Going to Brazil I was super excited to see what God had in store for us as well as Brazil. On our first day our team got divided into pairs in which we went to different hosts.   Even with a language barrier my host family welcomed us with open arms. In our week we have spent there we saw devision become unity in their family and we had the privilege of God using us to cast out anxieties and fear.   We really drew close to our hosts and they became family.   Throughout the whole of Brazil God...
