 The 3 weeks we had in New Zealand was amazing. Spending time with my host-parents from last year and the youth from the Afrikaans church was a privilege. I could see the hunger they have for the Lord and how much they really need Him. It was encouraging for me to share with them what the Lord has done in my life and how faithful he has been. By sharing with them, these experiences became a part of my life and not just another story. I underestimated the power our testimonies have and the responsibility towards others to tell them about the work of God. For me it might...

What an amazing year this has been for our Lime team. The Lord has been doing wonderful things in and through our lives.

   Changes and challenges of India As our train slowly leaves Kota station my heart fills with overwhelmed emotions. Leaving everyone behind that I've come to know the past 2 weeks was too much to bear. I never thought it was possible to grow so close to people in such a short time. Most of all, I've come to love them with my whole heart. A love that comes from God alone. This amazing people changed my life forever. People laying downs their lives for others, people facing persecution everyday of their lives, people taking care of the orphans and loving...

The grass is always greener on the other side but, through this "green" surface the pain, suffering, hunger and confusion of a lost nation...

During the past 2 weeks our Lime team has truly experienced God’s provision and blessing over our lives. We traveled to different towns and met amazing people along the way...
