Blue team safe in Cambodia..... :) We are blessed to be staying in a house with a roof (YAY) and to be eating the exotics of IndoChina... Andrew, who is our contact here, has been nothing short of fantastic is his accommadation of our 15 strong team! A jam packed week long session leaves not a moment to be bored! Blue team got the privalege of hosting an intimate bible study with the English students last night which not only was great for unity but a chance to spread the gospel ... *YES LORD!... The Camai (Khumer) people are amazing!...

How do I begin to describe a journey that has changed my life!!! I planned to write a long testimony on all the things that have been revealed to me and how the Lord had worked in my life thus far - but it would be a very long letter and I may begin to cry... So, a quick note :) The Phillipines moved me in may ways, well Christ did, i loved the intense ministry and I found a love for prophesy and prayer! I, too, got the privelage of leading and being part of worship as well a...

Location: Mendoza Airport, Argentina. Destination: Lima, Peru. 6 days. 5000Kms. GO! With another night on a airport floor under our belts colour teams were given the above instructions, and with that we embraces the words, “this is NOT a race”, “have fun” and “go see the nations”... how exciting! Backpacking through South America, this is what dreams are made of! We head to a hostel in central Mendoza to begin our journey preparation. Reality strikes... we now have 5 ½ days to travel form Argentina to Peru via either Chile, Brazil, Bolivia or Paraguay with a very limited budget and...

*DEHLI* :) What a wonderful place... Really... it is as Jesus himself spilled this paint set onto a nation and they fabricated it all into bags and shiny objects... What a sight... you do, however, have to glance past the 'pee-pots' (outdoor urinals), the spitting locals, the dust, the smell and the dung om the rodes... but all that vanishes as bursts of cultur infactuate street dwellers... We braved a taxi today - this one had 4 wheels AND breaks... what a treat :) the airport was efficient enought yet our biltong went undertected... again, treat! the journey from Dubai...

         My time in Peru has come and gone, and certain memories have lifetime status won! From Lima to Chiclayo (in which we began our stay), the Peruvians welcomed us in the most blessed of ways. The Groenewalds and pastors did everything they could to make us all comfy as real family would!   Then Touching Hearts course ran for 11 days- intensive ministry that challenged our ways. Translated from English to Spanish it took rather long but pressing on it broke even the 'strong'.     With much to process we took to the road, Incawasi in Andes...

As promised  few pics to tie up Cambodia...                  A land that stole the hearts of many, a nation that knows love no other where the smiles of people light up the darkest of moments... A few things to remember... - the tuk tuks (the hours we spent in them) - the mangos - tannie Alta's (and all her ministry work) - the children and how they crept into your heart!!!              JESUS LOVES YOU... "pro-jesu-throw-line-nye""

Hurricane Agatha that struck the south of Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador has left a wake of destruction, devastation and dead bodies. With countless families loosing lives, homes and possessions we find ourselves in the midst of great need. Having hit on 29 May 2010, shortly after the Northbound team left, the effects are still being felt with problems far from over. With the hurricane comes torrential rain causing mudslides and rockslides leaving everything in near proximity buried. Panajachel, a town in the southwest Guatemalan highlands on the shore of Lake Atitlan, has been rather affected as well as those...

What a way to wake up after a rather topsy turvy start to NZ... I can hardly believe its over, its nausiating really... but the good kind.. the I 've got butterflies from excitement 'cause I know what lies ahead kind..  the realisation of how much we need Jesus kind.. the scream into your pillow and kick your legs around kind.. the look how God rocked our world in NZ kind! After being fined 400 dollars for an orange at the airport (insert little gag effect here), we were greeted by Work Your Way (another team who we seem to run into often) Clara (project...

The Taj Mahal was conquered by the Blue team! from Dwarka to Delhi to Agra and all e way back! We were blessed!!! Viva South Africa ViVa!   GiHaHaHaHaD... Riaan, Sam and Suiyen braved the "Holi fest" in Shimla.. it was crazy... randoms  throwing you with powered paint (which we are still battling to get of our clothes and hair!) - they even sneaked up on us a few times, it was kinda like a friendly Gihad (ok maybe not the most appropriate comparison but rather true)... and rather sad, if you get my poo humour...  Sam DRIVING a tuk tuk.......

Why are you (me) doing this year????? People still ask the question: "Am I my brothers' keeper?"... (Gen 4:8-9) Are you going to be brave enough to say YES? Levitcus 19:18 clearly tells us to love our neighbour (people) as we do ourselves... but do we? The LORD himself gave these commands! As the body of Christ we need to be more concerned for our brothers and sisters... We are so guilty in that we see the anguish of their souls and do nothing!!!! The book of Acts is a good model of a caring community... "And all who believed...
