For King and Country has a song and the lyrics goes as follow: To every soul locked in a cage in the prison of your past mistakes there is no time left to waste, you can make a great escape. We were made to run wild. This pretty much describes the past 19 years of my life. Fear has made its way into the deepest parts of my heart. Fear of failing. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of missing out. And a deep seeking of acceptance. Before Global I never realized how much emotional weight I have...

Something that I have learned from my team this year is the value of family, especially being able to enjoy meals together around a table, preferably a long table. We have had many special moments. Serious moments, sad moments, but most of all a lot of very funny moments. The table is a place where you can sit down, relax and be yourself with the people you love. Through the year God has brought many people from the outside to sit at our table. They would sit down as strangers, but they would leave as family. I believe the table...
The most meaningful color (well that’s what I think) will most likely be scarlet red . Why? Well it represents a few things like love and blood . It is also the color that can be seen as mysterious and mesmerizing. When a person wears that color, it is as if there is more than meets the eye and that you must dive deep with him/her to see the real person on the inside. With that in mind, enjoy number 13 and see how God changed my heart and perspective through my Luke 10 team named… Scarlet Scarlet (in my...
WILDFIRE Number 12. So this is it. This is the blog about adventure, family, faith , provision, love , sacrifice, unity and prayer . This is the blog about a Father looking after His children in the most Father like way ever. This is the blog about boxes being broken and discovering God as someone with absolutely NO LIMITS . If you didn’t figure it out yet, this is the blog about my Luke 10. I hope you all enjoy this blog and I pray that you will be able to see what God is capable of doing when...
Please note that this blog was created on 28 July 2017 “I see those tears in your eyes… My love there’s no need to hide, just let me love you when your heart is tired!” song lyrics from Alan Walkers new song called Tired. These lyrics played a important role in my life this past few weeks ( 28 Jul. 2017 ) and (truth be told) helped me realize what Dad is trying to tell me. So with these lyrics in your mind and the fact that God will never let you down enjoy number 11 and I pray that...
This one goes out to the world changers, shining their light in the face of danger. A word that God has given our team this year is to focus on the living stones. His bride, his people. People through whom he is making the impossible happen in the nations. Our team had an incredible time and we were sad as the first half of our journey came to an end. We laughed, we cried and we faced many challenges, but most of all we got to be a part of what God is doing in the churches all over the...
Soo yeah here I am with number 10 and it’s been quite a while since my last blog, but that is fine because God had to work first in me about a few things before the next blog can be put up and I must say it was quite a ride up to this point. So with this new blog I pray that Papa will come and show His power, grace, LOVE and faithfulness to you whiles’t reading this blog. So keep calm and read on ( I know, not the best one liners, but it’s fine ). So we...
So yeah, I’m back with yet another blog and I’m personally very excited for this blog. It was something I never really thought of and when I really sat down and talked to God about this, it was like a HUGE revelation (I know there is a lot of them). I pray that Jesus will once again talk to you more and more throughout this blog and that this will also be a revelation to all of you reading this blog.So the topic for this blog is UNITED IN CHRIST and I know, we all heard that term a lot,...
First, we went to Bethlehem. While living with the Coptic nuns and serving them in Bethlehem our hearts were touched while working in the garden of one of the grottos and serving them the best we could. We formed so many relationships with local people from Bethlehem and could bring clarity to a lot of Christians who had questions about suffering and with questions such as,''What does it mean to have a relationship with Jesus?'' Our time in Jerusalem passed with spreading New Testament Bibles to people from all nations translated in their native language. Â We gave a Chinese...
Hello everyone. So here we go again, but this time I want to tell all of you something that touched my heart ( yeah yeah I know, I always say that!!). In this eighth blog of mine you are most likely going to learn things about me that you didn’t know ( it is not serious deep stuff don’t worry that's for a later blog. ) and there will be things you do know about me. Okay so here we go. I love music, like really I LOVE IT. If I see a piano I freak out ( on the...
