I took a short flight to Cape Town from Jo-burg. The engines hummed as the airplane taxied to the run way, while I page through the in-flight magazine. An article on circus clowns keeps my mind idle long enough to pass the seemingly endless wait for take-off. Doesn’t it always feel like planes take too long to take off, or doesn’t it always feel like queues are moving to slow? Why can’t I be alone by myself, why do we fill the quietness with noise, ANY kind of noise! We just can’t stand to be...

Krasnoyarsk is a Russian city located above the country of Mongolia and has a population in the region of one million citizens. Walking into the local grocery store you could immediately identify one of the main strongholds which govern the local community, right next to the normal everyday milk and bread. Poverty, absent parents but primarily alcoholism are causes of destruction in this country and the evidence is scattered everywhere. Stepping outside, the beauty of the three month Siberian summer took our breath away. One evening that stood out for us was how God can suddenly setup a...
For the last few days the Red and Silver team have split up on the Tibetan plateau, serving the only Christians in two little towns renowned for their Buddhist monasteries. They served in two little café’s and interacting and sharing the gospel with visitors. I stayed a few days with both teams, this is a story of a single Christian Chinese lady living in a small little town. 3500 meters above sea level. For the purpose of her safety, we'll leave her name unknown. She runs a little restaurant in town. No running water...

The other night I sat on a bus from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Grossing Israeli check-points to Bethlehem in Palestine. I started a conversation with a Palestinian man that sat next to me. After traveling through these check points for a few days, I lived through the struggle these Palestinians endure daily. Carrying work permits to enter a country that was recently still theirs, it ominously reminded me of the pass system during the apartheid era. The man started to fidget and sweat and said under his breath, "O no now they have me, their going to take me to jail."He explained that it is...
Two days ago God met us in a little convent in Bethlehem where we stay. It was the night before Palm Sunday celebration. We were on our knees pleading for peace in the Holy land and humility in our hearts. We were struck by the passage in Mathew 21 where Jesus entered the city on a donkey. Not a war horse or a mighty steed but a humble donkey. We have the spirit of Jesus in us, and as we enter city's all over the world we must be clothed in humility!!!! Hosanna to the King, not the donkey. Palm...
