Adrenaline and excitement in the air as we walked onto the plane at OR Tambo International Airport. Finally. Three months of training and I thought I was prepared for anything and everything sent my way! The soft voice of Jesus saying "I am sending you" and the company of fifteen believers who will soon become family. What could possibly stand against me? But as I lay in a hammock on a boat on the Amazon River and reflect back on the last 25 days, I realize I was over confident. I had too much self confidence. Self...

Dude's. .... What a country! Caos when you get here, immediately know you are on your one. So much energy and people going fast and going big. You have to adopt to the set pace or full out. Today we leave for Phuket, thank goodness. The hundreds of kilometres on a bicycle looks more fun than the past two days In Bangkok. Personal challenges and the visa applications really took it's tall. I am so thankful that JESUS is always in control. So it is a new day, I am going to stay thankful in JESUS....
A rising sun I found glimpses shimmering on the horizen, the future Lao I found in the eyes of the nation Deep into the nation we went not yet deep in our harts it is now The music beats on and we travel to a new sun Confusing thoughts presist as the faces pass by Life here now continues as on this bench my head sadly lie. The Lao people truely touched my heart. Yes, this massive family church and their joyful way of life, amidst the oppression, touched a part of my heart I never knew I...
Loas, crazy buddhists new year, exotic food and ice coffee. This is some of the things that make Laos unique. We had the privilege to work with the youth of Loas, hosting two youth camps. Teaching English, guitar and leadership skills. Got to hear amazing testimonies and minister at a human trafficing centre. But the hidden secret was really the people of Loas. They blessed us so much. The church mostly underground went out of their way to serve us. Most of them taking annual leave to host us. The relationships we build was solid based on Jesus love. ....
It is so wonderful when JESUS shows me His love in creative and beautiful ways. We came to Laos to serve and yet these wonderfull people served us. From day one we where accepted as family. They where always ready with a new blessing. Or as it where, thy spoiled us non stop. This had me thinking, what did I really do here? Was I really a servant to my new found family? So all I could do, was pray and asked JESUS to do the work and let me see His glory. So I know JESUS did...
Loving Laos and the people. They are blessing us sooo much and showing us so much of Laos. We are trying to bless them more than they are blessing us, but I dont think it is possible. Really cool country and people. Working with the youth of the church is really inspiring and I really am touched by them. *
On our arrival in Brazil, the group split in two and the green team being Chris, Daniel, Henk, Curtis, Cherelda, Mari', Kotie-Alet and I had the amazing priviledge to spend a week in 5th largest city of the world: Sao Paulo, the city of vibrant street art,great pasta, a lot of pao (bread) and friendly people. We were welcomed with open arms and from the start it felt like home. We had some time to rest after suffering a bit from jet-lag and just chill out with our hosts. We spent the first few days at a house church, doing...
