  This is two of the words that's constantly in my mind and heart during a year like this. BUT this is exactly what my life has been up to now.   It is out of amazing grace that God has chose to send me into the nations - to change my life and peoples' lives around me. I want to share one story on this...   In Luke 10 God sends out His disciples to go and bless people in the ordinary walk of life and this time was no different.   We (the blue team) asked God to show...

  What a perfect day? What an amazing way? What an awesome sight to see woman being pampered and finding God in the finer things of life... I never realized how easy it is to see the work of God and to experience the way Christ is changing peoples' lives. A night of flowers, candles, great food and desert - pampering gained a new meaning as the laughter came to life in the presence of some live music.   Woman goes through life never believing that they are truly beautifully made and that God really loves them. But God came...

  Written by: Mari Jansen van Rensburg   You always think "what if", what if I've taken that trip, what if I'd only said yes. At the beginning of Global Challenge I had the same question - but God didn't wait on me to be ready - He just came and did what I didn't think would be possible. He changed my life, inside out!!!!   I grew up in a christian home and for that I am very grateful. But more than ever He is just revealing Himself to me in so many ways. I am going to share one...

  "Alive, alive, alive forever more My Jesus is alive Alive forever more"     This is what is still echoeing in my ears after my time in India. What an awesome privilege to be part of this time and to see the change God is busy with in India - and especially in the kids of India.   In India there is about 86 million orphans and street kids at the moment. This is the harsh reality of the era we are living in. The Lord remains faithful though and He will equip people to work with these kids and...

I remembered so good the day I watched the movie, and thinking: How can a king make so much effort to build relationship with a servant?   And then I came to Malaysia – and this is what I found…   Serving in a school the Lord had a very specific plan for me. We served from the morning to night, being part in different things and serving in ways that was far above what I thought I could do!!!

“Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus, I will never let you go
You’ve taken me from the miry clay
Set my feet upon the rock now I know

I love you, I need you
Though my world will fall
I’ll never let You go
My Saviour, my closest friend
I will worship you until the very end…”

The Truth is out there!!!

What is beauty? Who is the beholder?
Come and join me on a journey through Africa to the final destination - Zambia...

Beauty is the green fields and trees after the lovely rainy season. It's the distribution of chips and cooldrinks in the
bucket-seated bus. The smile of Blessed (the child in the bus). Beauty is the humble, concerned woman at the busrink in
Buluwayo.
