Chile - Dreams come true Surprise Waka waka .. back in 2010 Soccer world cup we watched Uruguay vs Chile. Dressed up in red white and blue we chanted CHI CHI CHI LE LE LE Viva Chile! The dream was born. I wanted to visit the chili shaped country called CHILE! 4 years later deciding which Global Challenge Journey to choose I remembered how much I wanted to go to Chile and so the decision was easy... Hidden Worlds journey to South America. We got the planned itinerary ... No Chile! Not that I could complain with 14 countries jam...

To conclude our 8 month journey through South America we made a complete circle and returned to tropical green jungles with mango trees, red sand and rain storms. Here in Aragua they greet you with a fist pump, speak the Guarani language and give a profound "Amen y amen" at the end of prayers and church services. It is awesome to see what a huge percentage of church service time goes into prayer/conversation with God. After all, Jesus declared in Matt 21:13, "My house will be called a house of prayer." We were under the loving care of Belen and...

Luke 10 stories are bound to be interesting stories always. The fact of the matter in this case was: A group of 3 people going into a foreign, Spanish speaking country for 7 days without money, transport, food or a plan, except trusting God for Devine appointments along the way. How can you not see God's hand working in a time like this, where you have to trust Him for everything? When we are weak, He is strong. In Salta we said chao to the rest of the Hidden World group and with an excitement/slight nervousness inside we started hitchhiking...

Our plan (man's plan) was to go to Bolivia to serve at a church there. We were prepared and ready for ministry, just like the rest of the year...but we encountered visa problems at the border. After searching God's guidance in prayer, He directed our paths towards Chile...unknown territory for the team in more than one way. In times like these you realize God send you on this journey as a leader for times like these...recklessly trusting Him to come through for you and your team when you have nothing secure to hold on to accept His promises of never...

As we entered Peru after a daunting 56 hour bus ride through Ecuador, we left the tropics behind for miles and miles of desert coastline. Oom Hendrik and Tannie Ronel, 2 South African missionaries, welcomed us into their safe haven home with their playful, black hairless puppy, Ruby, to get some much needed rest before starting our busiest ministry point of the year in Trujillo. Wow, what a warm welcome we received from pastor Abner, Kelly and the Peregrino church with a big SA flag welcome banner, a slide show which made us proud to be South African and many...

After a few weeks in the Caribbean it was time to return to the mainland of South America. Columbia stretches in diversity from high Andes mountain ranges, to coffee farms to tropical beaches. Our time in Columbia was equally diverse as it started with the much anticipated parent visit in Bogota and Cartagena, moving into a backpacker challenge from Cartagena to Santa Marta, ministry in the hot, tropical coastal town of Santa Marta and finishing off in the much cooler Fusagasuga mountain town. The parents visit was a time of exploring, relaxing, story telling and being showered with love, affirmation...
