I can't! I can't leave it like that! I just simply can't! I NEED to finish what I started!  Not being able to finish the chiseling on the hand gave me a pain in the stomach!  I really wanted to finish it.  To see the end result.    I feel like a lot of times in our lives we are part of something where we are not able to see the end result. Feeling that what we did or are doing does not change anything or that it will have no effect on the society.    Well that is how...

Warm or cold. Cats or dogs. English or Arabic. Busy or relaxed. Happy people or sad people. Do I want to go back afterwards or never again. I had no idea what to expect when I heard that we were going to Egypt. Is it going to be different? Yes! Well...There are a lot more cats🐈 The people there blowed my mind away on many different occasions and everything was just amazing. We lived at a place called Anafora and we met many beautiful hearted people. I truly enjoyed spending time with them, even while we where working and building...

Well, I guess some people will like to hear about our camel ride in the shadows of Giza's pyramids, or maybe something about what the Nile river looks like, but Egypt confronted me with something a little more significant. It came in the form of a question that was placed on my heart during our last couple of days, and it sounds something like this: When last has 'going to church ' been a decision of laying down your life in order to experience just a little bit more of Him? And when I say "laying down your life," I'm...

Tonight I am watching a bright orange sunset from a rooftop in Egypt. We haven’t even been out of the country for more than 5 days and I already feel myself wearing out slowly. I have a longing for home that I cannot explain and the year rises like a steep hill in front of me. As I sought Jesus on my emotions I was reminded of an experience I had in the December.   One afternoon my father and I went up to the mountain on the farm where we live. As we drove higher and higher I started...

When I first explained to people what I'm doing this year, they kind of looked at me funny, and then as I kept talking they started smiling more. I think it's the same for how I felt about what im doing this year.

I can describle my experience of this training for my journey this year, in an ice skating session. The time it takes to learn how to fly over the cold frozen water. More like stick man skating....   Just like in the beginning of something new you struggle a lot to find your balance on blades. It's a new adventure to learn so much more about Jesus and the Bible. But the thing that really stood out was when we put all that we had learnt to practice out there. Standing on the slippery ice, I was holding the barricades...

I can't do it   I will fail   It is only my imagination    Thoughts like these crossed my mind when we were told that we were going to prophesy over our team, the school and the community. I was really afraid, thinking what if I get a prophecy wrong. Then what? What if, because of that I will be the reason why people drift away from God.  What if I am the only one that does not hear God's voice?  What if it is only my imagination?  What if...?  What if...    What if because of my "what...

I heard the hollow eco's of silence. Darkness surrounded me and emptiness lurked within.   Suddenly a piercing cry smashed through the silence, "stop believing the lies!" I wondered what lies the voice was talking about. Then the light engulfed the darkness and I realized what the lies was. I always thought God didn't speak to me. But then He started to reveal all the times He did speak and I just didn't realize it was Him. I thought I made up the pictures and words I got, that it was only my imagination. I didn't even think that it...

The time of sitting in teachings; receiving words of prophecy and encouragement; being sent out into the streets with no more than the clothes on our bodies and a heart full of faith; and being under the watchful eye of our leadership, has finally come to an end. A sort of abrupt one.    It's strange that you've been waiting for this moment for so long, and yet, on its arrival it still catches you a little off guard. Luckily the preparation process was thorough, which provides a sense of peace at the thought of heading into the unknown for the...

From the day that I decided to join Global, I knew I was never going to be the same again. But I did not realize that I will change this fast. I always thought that I was a good Christian and that I knew God quite well. But it feels like the moment when I stepped into the Global World God just smiled at me and said "Okay cool, but look over here. I bet you did not experience this before." He is always willing to show more of Him to you. That is exactly what He did to me....
