Peru ### AN IMPORTANT VALUE LEARNED #### %( PART 1 )% Finances is a personal topic. We are all ashamed to talk about it, especially if you are a Christian. @ How are we going to use our money? @ What should we buy and what not? @ How much should we give to the church ? @ Should we give our money to the poor ? @ Should we give our money to a NGO ? @ Should we take out a loan form the bank ? @ Should we spend our money on luxuries ? These are the...

Peru is a country of many contrasts. It's divided into three belts which runs from north to south. The desert coast with unending beaches, the majestic Andes mountains running through the middle, and then the jungle bordering Brazil. Each belt has different people with different cultures...but all Peruvian. Here is even a special dog with hair only on its head. Our time in Peru was fast paced and busy. We traveled a lot while ministering to different people. We hosted workshops and church, sang Jabulani, posed for pictures, ate Guinea pig, posed for pictures, did school ministry, saw a mud...
I dont write poetry, but when i do... not the best at writing. Moments of inspiration dont come alot so bare with me. All of this aside this is a piece of heart i wish to share. Wrote this on the way Fiji. Here we go... Night turns and tosses as a restless sea in pursuit nowhere Deep blue too deep black, into the unknown He plunges to fill up the void of light. Night just couldn't decide wether to seize the Day or see what Day may hold. Something about him so luring and joyful, O how...
"Silver and Gold is tested by fire but the Lord tests the heart." What an ecstatic time we have had, although we did not experiance all of Vietnam we experianced the fullness of its people. On arrival in Hotch Chi Mihn city, we found a hostle. Vietnam is surprisingly humid. Robey mentioned the humidity is what gets to you not so much the heat. We had a great couple first nights in the centre of town. Public Parks are available scattered across the city weaved inbetween the busiest roads you could imagine! Scooters swarm back and forth, uncautionary...
Faith and my journey... What an incredible life journey Now, I can go on rabbling about how God provided and what we went throught on our Luke 10, otherwise known as n faith journey, but i would much rather share how BIG GOD is and how radical he can be. When we toss away the box we so like to store Him in - "haha what a small box it was". What was our mission? To travel from one country to the next, live for 10 days and be God's hands and feet on this earth - specifically Singapore and...
You could almost call Panama America with the countless similarities between the two. The closest to western culture we have seen thus far, the culture shock was more apparent then is has been in previous countries. During our time here we came into contact with more Americans then Panamanians, and the pace of our work also changed from day work to minute work. In previous countries we had become accustomed to a certain style of living- a pace at which it seemed everyone lived by. Our schedule became a day to day thing, where we may have things to do,...
Sometimes in life things are not like expected, and the ways God work is confined deep within us within a certain way. Well God has no boundaries and no limits. The lessons He taught me was more valuable than having it all the easy way. God had to get me at a place where I could realize it's all about Him. Giving more of Him gives life. Giving Him is more valuable to people than giving something of myself. It's about looking past a blessing into Gods will. Because sometimes we are so focused on a blessing we need...
It is clear that we so quickly forget the wonderful presence of the LORD JESUS. Our busy lives makes us so aware of debt and other first world problems. And then we make all kinds of efforts to rest at JESUS's feet. But nothing makes you so humble, than to leave all behind, especially our plans and back up plans. To go out with nothing, except faith and only faith. But faith means you look with excitement for a big miracle around every corner. And you are sure of the things not seen. You know... that assurance you...
The following story is based on true events. During our time in Panama I was inspired to earnestly seek child like faith. This is to Ann, Emma and Pastor Bill. "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children"- Matthew 11:25The Travelzoonz were in a land much like a prison. The land had walls around it. The clock was tickady-tock-ticking, so they took a truck and a machine bird to travel to new lands. O, it was a big truck they travelled with. A...
Personal newsletter Colombia I am standing on my Daddy's feet. Holding Him around His waist. Having a childish laughter when I look at Him. I am glued to Him, nothing can get me off Him. I do not want to let go. I am feeling safe and protected in His presence. I do not care where He is taking me or what is happening around me. No, it does not matter. All that matters is being with my Daddy wherever I go. There is nothing to worry about and nothing to figure out. That is my Daddy's job. Yes, He...
