My journey is to walk with God and to hear His voice everyday.  He knows what's in my willing heart.  The Holy Spirit is a part of God that comforts, guides and leads me through my journey.  As God fills you from the inside you change and will never be the same person again.  So where do I start to describe how great the Lord is.  I have already seen and learned so much these past few weeks.  Doing self investigation and learning so many things through God's work, in my own life, and through others around me. I can't...

it is in serving the people that you discover something about the heart of God. We are currently spending time in the local community meeting people and playing with kids in the streets.   The way we view community is limited to our environment. We compare what people have to what we have. It is like we deem our standard of living as the benchmark.  Our take on the world is limited to our own suffering. We lack perspective. Their is a world in need and we are blind to what the world really needs...hope. We all need it. Jesus...

Hello everyone!!           So this is officially the first blog post of the year- hopefully the first of many!! So I will be writing a little unconventionally- I feel like there is a lot of explaining going on about what we have been doing for the last 3 weeks. I don't really feel like explaining today, so instead I will give a few word description of what we did and and how I felt about it or what I learned. I hope you enjoy!   Training started January 9th: After 2 days of traveling, I am...

Short and Sweet for the time being.. Father God is doing incredible things here in South Africa, through Global, through a Fellowship filled with so much of His Love..  It's good.. More later whenever the time may come.. God is Love. 4:8

Three weeks ago we arrived in Jeffreys Bay, backpacks containing all the belongings that we will need for the year on our backs, mentally and physically ready to begin with training for our Global Challenge Expedition 2015:)   During the first couple of days we were introduced to the Global community. By sharing amazing stories about what God has done in and through their lives all over the world they imparted to us their heart for the nations and a new excitement to see how God wants to love His children across the globe.    On day five we received...

At the end of 2014 I quit my job as a Physio, said goodbye to my comfortable life in Sea Point and decided to pack my backpack and join Global Challenge in travelling the world to make known to the nations what Jesus has done for us and to share His love. I believe God places a desire in your heart for the reason to bring Him glory and that He gives you talents, interests and passion for that same reason. What a privilege to be part of a group of 16 like minded young people forming the Hidden World...

Unfailing Grace has brought me to this place where God can really use me.And where I can get to a place where I can have devine encounters with His intimate character. In these two weeks I have realised that God has called us to serve, to be humble and to love. And despite our pasts or human nature, Gods plans will manifest and He will use us in ways we never thought possible. While I'm writing this I'm just realising that with every sunrise and sunset, how thankful I am to know the God of all creations and to have...

Thinking about it, going back in my mind to retrieve the archives of my memory dated 27 January 2014.   What was I busy with? What were my thoughts milling about? Was there excitement for the year which lay ahead?   I now believe that whatever I was busy with, the great and mighty things in my mind and the year which followed - have all prepared and shaped me for the now time. A time of training for a great year planned for me by God. Work your way 2015!   Where will you be 27 January 2016? You...

Wow! How do you even start to put the past two weeks in to words?    Trainig started off with a bang! Well, no guns were included, but after a lot of heart warming stories from the Global community, and visiting all the awesome schools, we had our first challege!!    From catching a chicken (we named her Sally, and no, she cannot dance), to surfing and eventually hiking down to a farm where we spent the next 4 days doing "Survivor Global".  With nothing but he clothes on our backs and few "luxury items", we were bushing it out,we...

Training started off with a bang, my heart beating like a drum, meeting new people knowing that they will be my family for the year. At first it did not seem possible but after running with a chicken, pulled out of our comfort zones, bubbels burst, testimonies spoken and God revealing the state of my heart, I can honestly say that I feel like I am appart and accepted into a God loving family that not only care for me but also care about my heart... After 3 weeks of intense sessions with Carla ;) I am really looking forward...
