So we've been away from South-Africa for about 5 and a half months now! Here's some news on what we've been upto as a team as just some personal growth and all kinds of things. Basically a brief overview this rollercoaster year so far... Okay in the beginning of March we started off in Brazil. There our main ministry was strengthening the ties between Global Challenge and the Agape church. We were commissioned to disciple 5 people from the church and meet and pray with them regularly. We also went to the tribes in the forest with Agape where they shared...

Getting Baptised After God brought so much freedom and healing in Guatemala, getting baptised brought even more joy and a new peace.   But this is only an introduction to living in the Spirit all the time – the old Betty goes under the water and a supernatural thing happens in the Spirit and then a new creation comes out from the water.

In Panajachel another group of young people came to also serve Mi-Reto and we came alongside them. So we are just unknowingly sitting listening to Louis (our team leader) welcoming the new group and he says “Ok, please open your Bibles up to Luke 10” and thats when we knew!! Luke 10 challenge!!!

Each night we received teachings from Ben on baptism, spiritual warfare, casting out demons etc. and we also got our hands dirty and went out and practiced these things!  Ah I love these people!! Our time with them meant so much to me, I am changed for ever! I just want to be...

The Brazilians like to bike around. I had my first bicycle accident on my first day in down-town Ubatuba and many were to follow. The first high speed accident was a head-on-collision (going about 2km/ph) with a 10year old boy while I was trying to balance the weeks groceries on the handle bars. There was lettuce and yogurt flying as I was trying to scoop up my pride from the sidewalk – on the wrong side of the road.
