To describe the odours, visuals, sounds and tastes of India would keep me busy for the rest of my life, however when I am faced with the question, what did I feel in India, there are no words to describe.

Genesis 1:26-27 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. All of these faces depict God, because they are created in His Image!
Our first two weeks of ministry in India has been incredible! We arrived in India, expecting the worst culture shock of our lives and were surprised at the tremendous amount of love that God has showered on us for His people.
During the past few days everything I knew about God and salvation was challenged, but in a good way.
Over the years I have learned that Christ is and will be Everything to me, and that He has died for me and that everything what I have done in the past is forgiven. So now I am as clean as white as snow, and I am good and ready to serve him.
Right?
Watching Survivor on television has always been entertaining, seeing the good and bad of the people come to front and seeing how they survive within their natural surroundings, not knowing what their next meal will be or where it would come from, living in the bush with people they hardly know. The moment I was placed in the same situation all the fun and entertainment suddenly seemed to disappear. During the last week we finally got to meet our team/family for the next year and we were taken to the bush just outside of town for some teambuilding, at...
On the first day of the new year my prayer for our team "Northbound" is that we will be Salt and Light to the nations! The Sermon on the Mount "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are...
Who told you you are naked? The enemy has been spreading lies about God's Children since time began. The sad story is...believe what he says! God got so angry when he heard that the Enemy said to Adam and Eve that they are not good enough...that they are naked in the Garden! Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1 ESV) And he said, “I heard the sound...
This past weekend we as the 2012 participants had our briefing weekend to prepare us for our seperate journeys next year. We got to meet the 2011 participants and they shared how amazing the Lord has touched their lives in the past year. Continuing the good work that He has started in them! It was a bit overwhelming, realising that next year this time it will be us sharing our experiences with the next generation of challengers when I do not know whether we will ever be prepared. This weekend I found immense peace in knowing that God does not need me, but He wants me. There...
Genesis 12:1 “The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” This verse fills me with mixed emotions because as I read it I realise God tells us that "He will show us the way", but first He asks us to be obedient and "Go from our country and our father's household"...Wynand and I will be part of the Global challenge 2012 team and we invite you to join us on this journey! Soli deo Gloria! Donate Now ...
