  Day 1 The first day was our day of faith. Completely surrendering and just doing as God tells us to. We got our first lift just outside town at the entrance of Mike and Adelle (from Crossroads) new home called “MOOIBOS”; they took us all the way to Antigua – 4 hours. Our second lift was a very old pick-up but it was sufficient and it took us all the way to Guatemala city, as we were walking down the street quite hungry I prayed and asked God where we should get food and very clearly on the wall...

Have you ever felt like you just needed a little bit of encouragement? Today was one of those days for me... I was walking the streets of Nepal wondering if all these foreingers are searching for something, as I was searching for Christian Fellowship outside of South Bound - someone just to encourage me for the rest of the year...  and... As i walked into the Crazy Burger Cafe and ordered a Banana Milkshake I sat down next to a friendly couple who seemed diffirent than the rest of the foreigners - they were enjoying life. As they were getting...

I was quite scared and on my tippy toes in the beginning, but I knew that it’s where God wanted me to be.   We were up at six o’clock the first day just before the kids so we could watch DVD’s with...

I want to tell you a story about a lady dressed in white.  She is always there when you need someone to lean on, someone to talk to, someone to take care of you and someone to love you.  She never passes by without touching your heart... She is concerned about more than just your health.  She wants to know where you've been and where you are going, whats your dreams and goals. What you've been through and what she can do for you. Where have I seen this lady? Where have I experienced her touch? Where is she now?...

 Talking the talk, hoping for a difference, accepting the challenge, inspiring the young is what T.H.A.I. means to me. As Luzaan would say Shan Rag Thailand. I love Thailand.   Thailand took me by surprise; it was a heatwave of children, culture, language barriers and smiles ,all in one. I've taken four days out of my diary to show you how my experiances in the country was a challenged for me.   Day 1 (01/04/09) The first day at school Teaching was one of the things that looked most challenging... Esspesially because it was language – English. Dear Diary Today I helped...

kom ek begin by die begin... Na Dahab is ons Mount Sanai toe waar ons vrek baie trappies geklim het om bo uit tekom, maar alles was die moeite werd. ons het daar bo omtrent die hele Exodus gelees om die stories van die wet mooi te verstaan - so half ses het ons nog boontoe begin klim om die sonsondergang heelbo te beleef. Dit was pragtig daarbo en vrek koud. Ons het die aand op die berg geslaap en dit baie geniet. Na die is ons Israel toe op die Border toe dink die mense verf is plofstof toe...
