Hi All After a long time that I have not writen a blog I am back and ready for the new "adventures" that God has placed before me. We are currently in South-America in Bolivia and is planning to go to Peru. We are on our Luke 10 journey but we have descided that we will approach this journey a bit differently that what we set out to do. We have descided to sit down and submit to God and listen what he has to say to us before we just go and do things. We set out from Sao Paulo in...
So we sadly finished India and moved on to a much deserved rest in London. But what was our plan and what did God want from us during our time in India. This has been the question on my mind for the few weeks that we spend in India. Most of us had some sort of sickness during the time in India and personally I think it blurred our vision for India and therefore we did not keep our focus on God and what his plan is for India. We did what we set out to do and with...
Well what can I say… India is a very beautiful place depending which set of sunglasses you use. The country side where we are spending the last few days is very beautiful with the Himalayas in the back ground. They don’t seem to be covered with snow since the weather does not really justify snow in a 35 degree region. It however is still very cool compared to the 48+ degrees we had in Kota in the middle of India. This is where we did our main ministry in India and where we worked at the orphanage. We...
Sitting here in the Internet shop and knowing that we have to say good bye to Malaysia and the people we met is heart braking. We had such an awe sum time and it IS as if we are part of the family, especially Ben and his family. Me and Johann broke away from the larger group to come help with some IT difficulties that the ministry in Malaysia was experiencing. We did from the most basic of carrying computers to setting up servers and building websites. I still don't think that we know what kind of difference...
Yes Yes we had another challenge in Malaysia. It was amazing as usual and really joined forces with the locals to finish the tasks as soon as possible, and when I say locals I really mean locals. As most of you know me an JohanB was blessed to travel back to Malaysia in order to help the local church community with some IT problems they are experiencing. It came at the right time since we had to be out of Thailand on the third of April and we receive the good news on the 31 st of March. This...

Training period is officially over but we still have sessions to just finilize some of the outstanding training. We had some amazing teaching from amazing people and we really felt like we are ready to go out and do the work that we set out to do in the first place. However getting to Egypt (Cairo) was a culture shock since Egypt claims to be first world but the infrastructures in no in place. We really had difficulties with communication and every person wants to sell you something at an enormous rate I dont have my camera with me t...
We were priviledge enouth to visit the lovely people in the Transkei. At first we had to get there on our own from Jeffreys bay. This was the first official challenge we had and it was a lot of fun and a good way to learn more about our team which is the orange team. We were given R690 to get there which is about $120 for a 700km trip and we had to buy food and to various other tasks including hugging a pig and eating "run aways" which is boiled chicken feet. We started hicking to Humansdorp where...
