Hi Everyone So the first week in Egypt has just been AWESOME! The whole team was caught with their pants on their ankles a bit because of the weather, all of us thought we were going to be sweating the WHOLE time, and when we arrived here ALL of us had to get our jackets out and start putting on some extra clothes :P We had so many teachings the last couple of weeks in SA and even here in Egypt but i quickly want to share something with you that really made me think a lot How many times...

So the last day or two we have been running around Jbay and PE and doing the MOST MOST bizzare stuff EVER!!! We have had to catch a chicken (twice) make footprints in cow dung, build a human statue, play official official at a local school's (read GLA) athletics day, played for a hour on a super tube, took a swim in the indian ocean, took a Ihashe for a ride on the beach ( for some of us the horse took us for a run...:P ), visited a few historic places in PE, sang gummy bears song about 100...
The last two or three weeks in my life has just been AMAZING! I have had such a wonderful time here in China that it is difficult to explain it in words but i will still try :P As soon as we arrived here in china about 3 weeks ago all of us just knew that it was going to be a month that will change our life's and that God had some amazing things planned for us! Our time started with 2 nights sleeping on the floor in train stations, and then we got on a train for a...
We started of traveling out of Cairo Egypt on 18 March at 03:25AM and flew into Malaysia and arrived at the airport and now had to find our way to Pudu hostel We took a train and bus and eventually got to the place and booked in and went to bed at around 01:30 AM. The Morning of the 19 th March we where woken up at 6 am with the words - ITS CHALLENGE TIME and off we went, we started with a breakfast which we all enjoyed together and after that went all around KL from Holy temples,...
There is just one thing that i realised from my time in Cairo and that is how thankful each one of us that grew up in a Christian home/community can be. We have got ALL the resources necessary to read up on anything that we need or want to but still we as Christians (South Africans) moan and groan and complain about everything. For us it is an issue just to walk to the bookshop, buy a book and read it where here in Egypt there just isn't ANY Christian bookstore. We complain and struggle to wake up at 5 in...
So my question for the time in Turkey was this.... After you have let yourself down and let the people around you down and have realized that you are not so great or immune to certain things that you thought you were, what is your first thing that you do? Do you go to your parents? Do you go to your friends? do you ask advice from a magazines Dr Ruth? Do you go to Opera? Or do you fall on your knees, repent and pray that God will lead you and give you strength and pick you up again?...
The time in turkey for me was AMAZING ( and no it is not controrary on my last blog, it is because of that and because of what God has done through that that even though it was difficult it was still a GREAT TIMEA) I got confronted with so many things and so many ways that we live our life in South Africa, and God really came and revealed to me what it really means to Give up everything to Serve him, i met people that lost their jobs, their families, their friends, their whole life just because they...
The past week we have been here in Israel backtracking Jesus last few days of his walk here on earth, and it has been an AMAZING journey. We have been to the mount of olives, the garden tomb, the "western wall", and just plainly exploring the streets of Jerusalem where He walked, lived, suffered, performed miracles and preached. We are staying in a Hostel in the old city on top of the roof, so every morning we have the MOST beautiful sunrise that we can ask for in the whole world over the Lord's city, and when i look at...
