Today felt like a real Cape Town winters day.  We woke up at 06h30 with the sound of rain on the roof… and it was still dark outside.  Welman and De Necker were loving this and missing their Cape homes very much.   Last night we arrived in the little town of Langkap and because Ps Silvanus was busy ministering, we took the 30 – 40 min walk to the village where he stays.  He put us up in a large room and we even got mattresses and pillows.  What a blessing.  Last year’s team slept on straw mats, so this...

Work Your Way spent the month of October in New Zealand, seeking to enhance Gods Kingdom more every day. We spent our time there in Auckland, living with amazing guest parents who poured out awesome blessing on us. At first I couldn't help but think that a first world country like New Zealand won't need as much need for evangelism as say, India would, but once again I was amazed at the large amount of need for Jesus' love within the country. We worked in unity with different churches including the ACK(Afrikaanse Christelike Kerk), Doxa Deo and with the Royal Mercy Global Evangelistic...

Hi Everyone, I truly have mixed emotions when having to say, that the Work Your Way journey of 2011 has drawn to an end. On the one side it is sad that the journey has to come to an end, but it brings me absolute joy thinking back on how God has used my team and I across many nations being led by the Holy Spirit like we are called to in Acts 1:8 which says "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea...

God is faithful!  This is all that I can say after what happened last night.  Henro and Welman were out with the scooters when they ran into some Aussies down at the beach.  Apparently the one guy commented on Welman’s hair by shouting “Napoleon Dynamite”… some might find this funny.  Welman laughed (he found it funny) and they started chatting with them.  The end result was sharing of the Good News to the lost and they blessed us with 2000 Baht in return.  God is good. We had the morning to catch up on some backed up journaling, emailing and...

Today was definitely one of the toughest days of wYw 2011 thus far.  It started at 5 am with quiet time, some worship, cleaning and packing.  We met Ps Silvanus after this and went into town for our final meal together.  It consisted of egg roti (Indian bread) served with a side dish of curry sauce.  India seems to stick to our group.  This was washed down with a coffee, iced tea or milo. Ps Silvanus mentioned that Henro’s sermon of last night was good and the alter call had a few people recommit their lives to the Lord.  We...

Day five started very slowly as last night our room was, as Welman stated, like a primary school rugby tour.  We stayed up late telling ghost stories in the dark… and then everyone had to go to the bathroom together like a bunch of… uhm… girls.   Last evening Bernard spoke at the women’s gathering.  Being a guy, this was quite a daunting task, but God came through and gave Him the necessary words.  The message was on the compassionate God we serve and how He looks after us because we are His children. De Necker then had the men to preach...

Hi! My name is Philip Pretorius. But who exactly is…Philip Pretorius? I think the first thing you should know is that I’m the type of guy that always seeks out laughter and tries to see the fun in, well everything! I was born In Pretoria and grew up in Pretoria.  I am currently 18 years old and proud to say that I’m about to finish my school-career. Thus I have come to the place in my life where I have had to ask myself the important question… What exactly is it I want to do with the rest of my...
