Guatemala     In one word... Growth!!  When we were about to leave Costa Rica, Geoff felt that our team should split up and meet each other again in Guatemala in 10 days. Quinton and I traveled together and had an amazing journey. We spent 3 days on a volcanic island on Lake Nicaragua and climbed a 1670m volcano!!     As we were getting closer to our destination, so our money started running out and we barely made it to Panajachel, a very peaceful town next to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. But the Lord provided use with a place...

  This blog will be my attempt to explain what happen the last 7 weeks of training, seeing as I don't journal I'll try my best... Training: January 11 - 28 February Welcoming Our first weekend it felt like meeting family for the first time, everyone was super exited and full of expectations!!  We were welcomed as if we landed at an airport and had to book in our luggage and have our passports ready. I soon after got to meet everyone that is doing the Work Your Way journey, Geoff - our group leader, Quinton, Vilandré, Roan - but...

Europe   WoW!! What an amazing journey. While we were still in Canada serving at one of the camps, there was a team helping to facilitate activities for one of the churches at the camp. This organization’s name is Athletes in Action and they spread the gospel through sports ministry, when they heard about our idea to cycle through Europe they helped us get in contact with Athletes in Action in the Netherlands. When we arrived in the Netherland, they welcomed us with open arms as family, an awesome feeling. During the next few days they helped us get bicycles...

Canada   We are now in Canadian air space and as we look down we see no snow what so ever!! BIG disappointment as in our minds Canada “is” snow. After n little speed bump at customs we were picked up and drove to Ignite Camp and Retreat Center the place we would call home for the next month and a half. After all “formalities” were done and over with we got settled in, and we were overjoyed at all the freedom we had. We stayed in our own cabin hidden in the “woods”, in the kitchen we had a...

Cuba Luke 10 Journey   Our time in Mexico has come to an end and we’re waiting for our flight from Cancun Airport to Cuba. We’re sitting at a table playing cards. Geoff’s telling us that the pastor in Cuba did not come back to him and that the Lord has leaded him to that we do a Luke 10 Journey instead. I’m to team up with Vilandre and Geoff with Quinton. We arrive in Cuba 3pm the morning and to save some money we slept on the airport and took a taxi to a guest house at 7pm. We...

Panama   After 22 hours of flying we made it to Panama our first country. Our arrival was met with my bag going missing on the airport, not that it fazed me one bit. We then took a taxi to meet up with Pastor Bill at his church in Gamboa, which is a small town next to the Panama Canal. Pastor Bill moved to Gamboa over 30 years ago to minister at the Gamboa Union Church. We stayed at the church for 8 days, where we had so much free time... but it was filled to the brim with worship,...
