Thailand!! Wow it's an incredible place! Filled with beauties that only seeing in person can be understood! It definitely lives up to its phrase "the land of smiles" everyone here is just amazing. This country is special for me! We started in Bangkok just relaxing at the hostel for a few days doing some important paperwork and then we get too that we are doing our Luke 10 in Chiangmai ! So now I'm really excited ! We get given our teams and then we get ready! We took a 10hour bus ride to Chiangmai to a church where we were...

  What a blissful time! And when we say bliss. We mean Holy Spirit FIRE!    Seven days, eleven willing hearts and multiple touched lives, ours included. We spent such a short time in Malaysia, so short we didn't even think it would be worth it. Boy were we wrong!  I don't quite have words to describe what happened here. So I'd rather share some short testimonies:  We served the homeless three times in the week we were here. That's not what impacted us so much though, it was going out and seeing familiar faces sitting on the street corner,...

What is important? For some people that read this blog, you might not have the answer to his tricky truth. Some of you might have an immediate answer, some will hesitate but will get to the answer and some people more often than you think, will not have an answer at that very time. Why does this question raise so many different answers in life, and why does everyone’s answer differ? I have asked myself this question many times before. What does it mean? What is the truth? What is the correct answer? Everything that I can think of that...

Macedonia was one of those countries that I had high expectations of. Mostly due to the fact that I heard so much about the place, the large amount of people that needed help in the camps and the Rama people that also needed help. After Africa left Macedonia, I read their blogs and that helped me to paint a picture of how it is there, and what I can expect. So after reading and hearing about the refugee camp, I was expecting a BIG challenge. Not that it would have demotivated me in some sort of manner but rather start...

Indonesia_ Bali is filled with an indefinite number of  statues everywhere, so many gods, so many burning essence sticks, so many little plates with offerings, so many temples, so many lost souls.  Isn't it easy for me now to just quote the Bible, judging them for all these man-made, dark-side inspired idols. ‎I Find myself sitting in a taxi staring out the window trying  not to make eye contact with all these immense  statues dominating the place.  The bags all around me limits my movement so all I did was  pondering on the beliefs of the world. It came to...

I signed in and was accepted into this journey with nothing of the required R90,000 needed for the year.In a sence that is where the journey started and where God started to break open my faith in Him. After a few months of mixed emotions like stress,doubt,fear and a lot of prayer the first payment came in one night from a total stranger of R50,000...I cried From there money came in from anonymous donors, other payments from peoples whos names I could see but did not know,from the most unlikely of acquaintances,payments with only scripture references attached,from loving family and...

The Royal Way! God is the King of kings right? The Father we all knows has a Royal Way of providing for His Son's, Galatians 3:26-27. When I first heard of the Royal Way I thought ,"I shouldn't ask or even mention I have no money and expect my Father to give anonymously what ever we needed?" Hahaha CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! We were just walking around in a mall praying for random people when we anonymously received 3500 Baht (R 1500) it was more than enough for 4 people on a Luke 10 journey for 7 days, but it didn't stop...

Thailand was indeed full of whimsy. In the physical as well as the spiritual. When I think back on our time in Thailand I have these brief moments where I just remember long hour bus trips, waiting on bus stations at unusual times in the morning and I definitely think about a few trails. But most of all. I think of moments that feel, well to be honest, moments that feel unreal. Almost to say, a few movie moments, in Notting Hill, Hugh Grant tells Julia Roberts that the time he spends with her feels like a movie, unreal, "surreal...

Thailand has been fantastic! Our team has developed so much in terms of unity as well as individually in the Spirit. How can one not have increasing faith after being sustained by God for more than a week. All of our Luke 10 experiences were majestic and to the purest form, a Father spoiling His children. Going into a stage where we started asking questions about our futures, this new faith He has given us tends to the fears and uncertainties about our lives after Global. God is good and sovereign. He has proven Himself faithful beyond measure and through...

I am currently lying on my back on a bamboo bench, Just after my fellow rookie constructionist and I finished building a sturdy wooden grass covered structure.This process involved a dangerous amount of inexperience ,riggedy scaffoldings, and the use of a nail gun while suspended up in the air.I suspect God poured out some serious last minute wisdom into our arrogantly confident hearts.None the less we are finished and admiring our golden creation.There is a sence of pride and contentment flowing through our veins.Wiping a drop of sweat from my brow, I can not help to realize the privilege of...
