we arrived in Krasnoyarsk on the second of July. Our team was divided into two: four of us stayed in Krasnoyarsk to present African Cultural evenings to the Russians. This made us really homesick. The fist week was very busy. During the morning, we planned and worked out a program for the evening and in the afternoon we played sports. During the cultural evenings we talked about our different foods, cultures, cities and history. We even demonstrated some dances like kwaito and sokkie...we also performed Waka Waka....ALOT. During this first week, we had some time to minister to the people...
After spending 3 weeks in Thaliland, we only have one day left in this beautiful country. We are sad tpo leave, but are also looking forward to our next country - China and what God will do there.
On arrival in Bangok, we received our first challenge...and what a challenge it was! It took the RED team 38 hours to complete, but we finally made it to Phuket.
I can't believe we are actually done with training. Wow, God blessed me so much in such a short time...I can't wait to experience him in 11 different countries!
We are in Phuket, Thalang - busy painting the school! We have had such a blessed time here, seeing so much of God's creation and delving into His word together. We learn more each day! On Saturday, we are leaving to go more North to another ministry point. I can't wait to see what God has planned for us there!

I have postponed writing this blog for a long time, partly because I was writing exams and didn’t have a lot of time and partly because I really didn’t know what to say or where to start. Then I realized that it doesn’t matter where I start, I just have to start. So, here goes: I was born in Potchefstroom and grew up and went to school here. When I was in grade 2, I became “sick”, or at least that’s what I call it…I would have panic attacks everyday because I didn’t want to leave my mom, because...
The race is on! We started on Bangkok airport at 10:00 am Sunday morning...
Our time in Varanasi was amazing! We really experienced God's grace and faithfulness. We met a woman from South Africa and helped at her friend's ministry for the children from the railway station. We also had a boatride on the Gangajesh river, which was beautiful and upsetting at the same time - just to see how lost these people are, bathing themselves in extremely filthy water because they think it is holy! I couldn't help but feel powerless: it would be impossible for us to reach all of these people in the short time that we are there (there are...
