Its hard to start dancing when there is no music. Actually it is impossible to dance to the tune if you can not hear it. You will look off beat and certainly make a fool of yourself. This past month of training I learned that its not about dancing to the beat, but rather the fact that the music is always playing.   Its not really about the song playing, but do you have the ability to hear it? Faith is believing God speaks. He is always speaking to us. Playing the most beautiful melodies. Longing for us to listen....

A 24 year old volunteer (me) time keeping at the Global Leadership Academy sports day was hit over the head with the high jump pole that was holding up the sail providing shade in the sweltering heat. The windy city of PE certainly lives up to its  name. She was rushed to the local GP by her caring team leaders. She narrowly escaped with a few stiches of laughter from herself and witnesses to this sensationalist scene. For once we can be thankful for her exceptionally hard head! Now that I have your attention....    17 Days ago I began...

Run, jump and throw. . . .Global Leadership Academy athletics day. . . .

2 weeks in training, not only is the challanges personal. But the spirretial is the most challanging. I am learning to really hear the lords voice.   Thank you Lord, for your passions in my Life!

Two and a half hours of free time in Santa Marta, Colombia. The desire of guitar and coffee at the seaside burns in my heart. Because I don't have a lot of money left, thus I boil water, take my flask and loyal old plastic cup with a bag of South African hot chocolate. With Eileen's guitar in hand I head towards the beach. I look for one of the very few spots of shade that is not occupied. I take my seat on a little wall next to the ocean. I was busy writing a new song, and that...

What is Kosovo So before I start this update, please let me first share a bit about Kosovo. Kosovo is almost their own independent country, they used to be part of Serbia and in 2008 they declared independence, but since Russia that has a veto vote in the UN does not recognise them as an independent country they are still not fully independent, but under European Union curatorships. On top of that Turkey also claim that Kosovo is part of Turkey because of the battle of Kosovo in 1389 where the emperor of the Ottoman empire was assassinated and his...

It is a freezing August morning in the city of La Paz, Bolivia. Bravely, Andri and I head up a very steep hill to witness the sunrise over the snow covered mountains and the age old buildings of the city situated in the valley. With coldish coffee we witnessed the break of day with the beautiful red and orange colours that start to play over this endless possibilities of a new day. Looking at pictures like this, the reality strikes you once again: I am in another continent! The reality of knowing that you are far away from the sun...

              The highly awaited highly anticipated, grand Luke 10 journey. You might have heard about it, maybe you have participated in it, maybe you have met a crazy person who have been through it, or maybe you have never heard about this very unique journey! To try to explain it as simple as possible: it is a journey you as a small group embark on for a few days. Our team did it for 7 days (6 nights). It is based on the principles in Luke 10, where Jesus sent out His disciples. He...
