Fighting lies with truth Overcoming evil with good Conquering heart-rocks with love Winning wars with Word(s)   Marching forward Step by step Word by word Taking ground Declaring truth Establishing hope Proclaiming peace   War is raging The enemy's scheming We are fighting The battle is on   Eyes are opening Ears are hearing Shackles are breaking The earth is shaking   The Spirit is moving The King is coming The Father is longing The enemy's running   This is Morocco with its 1000+ believers fighting on their knees God's answering their pleas   MOROCCO WILL BE FREE!!!

  <!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --> July 2010 So there I sat in a living room in Addis Ababa listening to the story of a JUST adopted kid from Ethiopia. His adoptive parents had to prolong their stay a few times to wait for the adoption to be approved. Their boy was clasified as a Mingy (cursed/dirty) boy. He's punishment would have been death. But God saved him – hisbiological parents protected him against all advice. And now he's on his way to start a new life with LIVING hope and new parents...

  EXPLORE AFRICA TEAM LOviNg Zanzibar!!! Eating EXOTIC Fruit Making Exotic Food and finally... ENJOYING EXTREMELY EXOTIC FOOD... the Zanzi-way!!! LOVING AFRICA!!!!

On Tuesday, the 2 nd of June 2010, at 07:00 in the morning the dawn broke on what would be Explore Africa's first day of food distribution in Niger. We left Zinder in the almost pouring rain which is a miracle in itself considering that it has only rained once in this region this whole year. We chose for this day the small town of Dogo 35 Km's from Zinder. According to our sources in Zinder, Dogo is a town already affected by the 2010 food shortages and the need abounds all over the surrounding district.   Yhaiea is a...

Dear friends, The team have now succesfully distributed food to the total value of R80 000! And all of the target villages have been reached. We thank God for this miracle. Unfortunetly the team's time is up and they need to move on to catch their flight to Ethiopia. The fact of the matter is that there are still millions of people on the brink of starvation. I recently read this article http://m.news24.com/NEWS24/Africa/News/10m-in-need-of-food-aid-20100611 on News 24 which describes the emergency that Niger now finds itself in. We cannot ignore the pleas of the people, even though the team is not...

The rocking sound of a generator in the background is whispering bits and pieces of the story of Zanzibar – and  Africa:about falling and standing up and falling again,and eventually getting up again.. It becomes a famaliar sound, like the screaming Imam's voice and together they tell the story of this Africa –her pain and sorrows, her bondage and her everlasting struggle. Yet, the children keeps on greeting friendlyand the sun keeps on shiningand somewhere inside of me a ray of hope shines through the crack of these prison walls. For a Savior is on His way to reveal that...

Monday, 14 th of June marked the last day of food distribution for the Explore Africa 2010 Team. While our journey continues through Africa, we hope and pray that The URN Project will still continue to change and save lives. We received news on Sunday that the Nigerien government finally announced a state of emergency and hopefully the food shortages will receive a lot more press coverage and much needed attention. In the first half of May whilst still in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, the URN Project was born out of lots of hope, prayers and uncertainty. We initially trusted the...

The URN Project is on a roll Watch our video: [video: 100x100] Praise the Lord for the R26 400 we have already received. With this money we will be able to serve our first targeted village with food parcels! This weekend we spent time with the Fulani tribe in Tânout, which is our major distribution point. When we arrived, it really broke our hearts to see numerous children with empty buckets begging for food. We enjoyed time with the Fulani tribe and also had some Bible studies with them.We discussed the project, and they are very excited and thankful on...

Enjoying the WILD side of Africa!!

AFRICAN EXTREMES 10 Jun 2009 In a week's time I've experienced so many different African Extremes... From Niger's desert-villages to the city of Abuja in Nigeria, nearly nothing is the same. Here are some African Extremes: Last week we couldn't find one ATM in the former capital of Niger, this week we can pick and choose between 6 ATM's that's standing next to each other in the foyer of a hotel. Last week I woke up in my tent in the middle of the desert, with the sound of Fulani-women discussing the white people whose visiting their well. This morning...
