    Cambodia – Thailand – Hong Kong Hope – Springs Eternal, by Johannes Wagner       The Bible teaches us that without VISION , hope for the future or revelation about the future, people perish ! (Prov 29>18).     In Cambodia you can travel from one place of Phnom Penh, the capital city we stayed in and experience complete hopelessness and upon entering another area, feel Hope rise within you. It is really a metaphor of different areas of our lives... In one area of our lives, perhaps finances we feel hopeless, yet upon experiencing love in...

  Japan – Sri Lanka A lot about LOVE... by Johannes Wagner     What a day. Flying from Hawaii to Japan, we crossed a timeline which pushed us 15hours ahead in time ... Crazy! Who said time travelling is impossible?   In Japan we stayed for one night in a little town called Narita. Japan is probably the place I saw who is the most “culturally active” – they have a very rich one. We wanted to sleep at the airport, but they actually closed for the night! So we were forced to get lodging. After treating the team...

Los Angelas and Hawaii: A God-thing, by Johannes Wagner   We are privileged that the world ticket that we have takes us through some countries/places that wasn’t originally part of the set ministry countries: USA, Los Angeles was one of these.   We had this great “intermission” period of two days in LA to just observe and off course this is the ultimate grounds for a CHALLENGE (adventure race)...   We stayed in this really cool backpacker’s hotel, called “Adventurer” that has so much free stuff: Free breakfast, dinner, internet, airport shuttle service etc. When I found the place in...

Guatemala a time of sharpening the Sword,   by Johannes Wagner We have been prepared to be prepared ... Prepared for Guatemala   prior to going there and prepared in Guatemala for the rest of the journey...   If we went nowhere except Guatemala, our lives would still have been changed!   We had an ACTIONpacked, ADRENALINEpumped, HEAVYduty, HIGHimpact time in Guatemala.   Our viewpoints were challenged, our perspectives broadened, our insight deepened, our capacity expanded, our lives were altered. We received Word, Truth and authority – we had an encounter with our King, an appointment for an anointment ....

In the midst of spiritual darkness (Europe being only approximately 2% Evangelized) we stayed in a little suburb of Lisbon, called Massama and served in the local reformed Evangelical church. The people of the congregation received us into their homes with warm welcomes and hospitality – it felt like family! I have been here before, so it was great to refresh some of the old relationships.   Pro 25:25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.   We brought some cold water to thirsty souls in Portugal and it had blessed us...

Bondea Me Amigo! Kyk, die beloofde land is nou wel vol melk en heuning , maar dis nou tyd vir my om terug te keer na die land waar die koeie en bye is! Ek is nou maar een van daai ouens wat sal val vir ºn dame wat lekker kos kan maak. En jong ek geniet darem maar ºn stukkie vleis, mielie pappie en so Saterdag middag Biltongtjie saam die Rugby! Hehe Portugal was so gebless gewees. Ons het mos geserve by 'Igraje Reformada Evangelica'. Maandag het ons gaan bedien by die laeskool, wat ºn vreugde was dit vir my...

  We become like the one we worship...   As I journey through the world, there is a lot of things surfacing in my heart that is revealed to be selfishness in my relationship with the Lord. I come to find that I should not serve God because it is good for me, but because He is worthy to be served! I really want the Lord to work in my life, but I'm not so keen to DIE in myself, laying down my right, my time, my relationships, my possessions, my family, my future, my ambition. And if I neglect to...

  Ola Vriende   Wat ‘n voorreg om nog te kan lewe. Ek is in die laaste week van Ekspedisie en my hart kook nog oor van alles wat in my aangaan.   Portugal is ‘n besonderse plek met ‘n groep mense wat my net nog meer huis toe laat verlang, want hulle is gasvry, vriendelik, spontaan, lagwekkend en laf - my tipe mense!! Ons het mos nou die 14de Janeiro (Portugees) geland hier en ons bly by gaste-ouers, hier naby Lisbon die hoofstad, in Masamma. Ek en Martin bly by twee jong Portugese ouens (een kom van Brazil ook af)...

  God is REAL   God is not some figment of my imagination. He is not some mythical hero. He is not just a good feeling or a whim or A good idea to make us all feel better.   He is one hundred percent true! Existing Persisting Present Near Right here From way back Even now And definitely tomorrow   AND HE MADE ME PERFECT   I savor the feel of Truth rolling around my mouth, Hearing it drift into the shadows as I speak...   I am wondrously made! Deliberately made Not a creature of coincidence Not a random...

Shalom!  Hierdie kant gaan dit goed, ek geniet Jerusalem die meeste! Alhoewel dit God se land is en Sy stad hierdie is dit so 'n weerspieeling is van wat aangaan in die wereld. Hier is nie net Jode nie, nee nee, hier is mense van alle nasies, stamme, tale, volke en gelowe. Dis Crazy.   Die plek is die hoogtepunt van my journey sover! Skrif se: "Blessed is the man whose strength is in the Lord, who's heart is set on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem". You can call me blessed!   Ons het 6 Januarie hier aangekom en ingeboek in...
