So, I woke up in my own bed this morning after 7 weeks of sleeping in unfamiliar places with people I hardly know. Now I can say that I have 35 new homes built in my heart. On Thursday night we were commisioned, and man, what a long journey to FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!    Talking about homes.  Time to be honest about the one I'm living in. The one you can't see with your eyes.  The one you feel with your heart.     For quite a long time, I was disobedient and didn't want to leave behind the familiar, to experience...

"The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him , two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. And he said to them, " The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few . Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest. Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals , and greet no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, ' Peace be...

Our first challenge is upon us: Northbound is going to Cape Town!! After a massively thought-provoking seminar on "the making of a leader" by Floydd McClung over the weekend, we're leaving to the Cape to sort out our Visas for the European leg of our journey. We'll be visiting the Russian and Greek embassies. We trust in the Lord that He will open the right doors for us at the right time! So pray with us for open borders and soft hearts.  “I will go before you  and level the exalted places,  I will break in pieces the doors of...

My journey is to walk with God and to hear His voice everyday.  He knows what's in my willing heart.  The Holy Spirit is a part of God that comforts, guides and leads me through my journey.  As God fills you from the inside you change and will never be the same person again.  So where do I start to describe how great the Lord is.  I have already seen and learned so much these past few weeks.  Doing self investigation and learning so many things through God's work, in my own life, and through others around me. I can't...

Short and Sweet for the time being.. Father God is doing incredible things here in South Africa, through Global, through a Fellowship filled with so much of His Love..  It's good.. More later whenever the time may come.. God is Love. 4:8

Three weeks ago we arrived in Jeffreys Bay, backpacks containing all the belongings that we will need for the year on our backs, mentally and physically ready to begin with training for our Global Challenge Expedition 2015:)   During the first couple of days we were introduced to the Global community. By sharing amazing stories about what God has done in and through their lives all over the world they imparted to us their heart for the nations and a new excitement to see how God wants to love His children across the globe.    On day five we received...

Unfailing Grace has brought me to this place where God can really use me.And where I can get to a place where I can have devine encounters with His intimate character. In these two weeks I have realised that God has called us to serve, to be humble and to love. And despite our pasts or human nature, Gods plans will manifest and He will use us in ways we never thought possible. While I'm writing this I'm just realising that with every sunrise and sunset, how thankful I am to know the God of all creations and to have...

Wow! How do you even start to put the past two weeks in to words?    Trainig started off with a bang! Well, no guns were included, but after a lot of heart warming stories from the Global community, and visiting all the awesome schools, we had our first challege!!    From catching a chicken (we named her Sally, and no, she cannot dance), to surfing and eventually hiking down to a farm where we spent the next 4 days doing "Survivor Global".  With nothing but he clothes on our backs and few "luxury items", we were bushing it out,we...

It's such a privilege to have a small part in Global Challenge Expeditions this year! I cannot express the immensity of my excitement! And we're not even halfway done with training yet!! What?? If you're as eager as I am to find out how God's going to glorify His Name among the nations in 2015, then watch this space!!!

Only two weeks of training have passed and I already feel like I have learnt a lifetime of lessons. The people I've met here are already like part of my family. And as for my relationship with God.. It has never been so strong and so intense. I feel like a better, stronger person. And God is my leader, using me as a messenger to tell His story to the world. And all I can say is, "I'm ready for the change, I'm ready for the world, I'm ready for the things that I've already learnt."- Coldplay. These are the...
