What a wonderful God we serve! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I’ve had it on my heart for a very long time to do a mission trip with some teens. It was AMAZING!!! First of all, God really blessed us with a great leadership team. There were three of us (and we could each function in the area of our strengths), leading a team of 10 teens. We saw many lives touched and miracles: The one eve we were showing the Jesus film and had decided to feed the people afterwords. But more people showed up...

  In a world of busy schedules, pressures, expectations, challenges, trials....what does it mean to truly walk in contentment...how does one find that...? A few weeks ago on our LUKE 10 journey, I was walking along a farm road to where we were staying. A cool spring breeze was in the air and the last rays of sunlight on my face- I could feel an amazing sense of peace and fullness within me. There such an awareness within me of the presence of my Creator, that I couldn´t help but smile. This is what it is, i thought to myself,...

Praise God in His sanctuary;  Praise Him in his mighty heavens, Praise Him for his acts of power, Praise Him for His suppassing GREATNESS! Ps 150.  In Guatemala at the moment- in awe of God! We are busy working hard (building houses...), getting great teaching and trusting God for miracles! Will keep you updated:) (building a house for a family of four- Brings back some good memories of home:)

  While staying at Khota children's Home we spent our mornings restoring/painting one of their old buildings. I had the privilege of painting Mark 10:14 on one of the walls. It begins where Jesus says: 'LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME. DO NOT HINDER THEM!For the Kingdon of heaven belongs to those who are like these.' It was one of those days where I was tired and I had a whole group of Kids around me wanting to help me/ watching me/ just messing around, while I was trying to get my job done. I had to ask them a...

     It's not that bad- really- you just need a keen sence of adventure. China has been AMAZING. I was able to get a camera when we left Malaysia - so I thought I'd put up a photo blog:)   Leaving Malaysia we made lots lo friends on the train- though the train trips can ger very tiring- and the trains are usually jam-packed! Our team won the last challange and were able to go eat KFC- and we met a brother- it was really cool.     In China we had to catch a 32 hour train to another province the next morning. The hotels were...

  How amazing is our God!!! Last night as I was just worshipping God on the Guitar and just proclaiming how great He is, I realised again how important it is to not just read God's word but also to praise and worship Him daily. The more we worship Him the greater revelation we'll have of Him- the greater our revelation of Him the more He can work in and through us for His Glory!    

  I have lived the life many people only dream of. Traveled to distant lands, been on great adventures, slept under the stars, jumped off waterfalls, snorkeled in one of the most beautiful reefs in the world, rode in\on almost any mode of transport imaginable, including camels and an elephant, climbed to the top of mount Saini to watch the sun set. I know what it is to love and be loved unconditionally. I have seen revival in the hearts of little children and shared the laughter of an old lady, who was healed and able to walk again... the list...

  This has been two very interesting weeks! But Awesome!   We've been fixing a little (over 700 junior children) rural school 2km out side of JBay. Our first job was strapping on rubber gloves and digging sewerage out of blocked toilets  (I say we strapped on the gloves, cause there's no ways you want that glove to come off!) Hens the title of my blog- I've done many grose things but this one was by far the worst! I didn't include a photo 'cause I want you to be able to enjoy your supper tonight:)     Our team then got assigned the playground -   The  playground consisted mostly of garbage and...

Hey Guys  I figured one should do a bit of "self training" before you do something like Global challange-So I learn't to fish. It took great courage and dicipline to brave the EARLY morning and the stormy seas,(we got soaked) but it was worth it. Although, as the hours passed I discovered that I have a tallent for loosing hooks and sinkers. As for actually catching a fish...well, not even the professionals caught a fish that morning. So, I learn't a valuable lesson: If there's fishing to be done this year, get one of the other team members to do...
