  In the beginning of the year I had a chat with a friend of mine and she mentioned that she never again wanted to pray for someone she didn’t love. Actually meaning that her prayer is useless without love if its just filled with religion. Her words has been with me ever since and I realized that I needed first to know God’s love for me; experience it, accept it, breath it. His love was all I wanted and needed and it was all I prayed about. “Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am...

We have been working for the last couple of weeks in a small town in Guatemala called – Panajachel. When I say work I mean building. I have learnt a few things and one of these many new talents is to lay bricks. Well a week a go I got the challenge- “lay 3 bricks” – quite easy when you think about it. And I was so eager to work I accepted the challenge immediately. Not knowing that a few people have tried to lay these 3 bricks and because of uneven foundation and so intense retries these 3 bricks...

 Привет! After 3 INTERESTING days on the Train from Moscow, and after sleeping in 197 different positions in a bed that is designed to be exactly 15cm shorter than anyone sleeping in it, we arrived in Krasnoyarsk (Красноярск). What a joy to meet up with a host of Russian friends - with most of whom we had but facebook or email contact for a decade! And even more joy to see that God has been working mightily in this place, and that He is truly busy bringing His church closer to Him. Glory!  A hectic pace, though, from the moment we...

G   My prayer for Guatemalu was "God I pray for healing and the deliverance " This was my prayer for Guatemalu, after five days of travel from  Turkey-England-Mexico-Guatemala, spent the night on the bus and three regional airports. We arrived in Panajachel in Guatemala, we spent 35 days I would love to stay 35 more days, because God was soooo powerful . During the day we worked on the project, foundation, make windows and doors, setting the roof, etc., and at night they would have been learning from Ben pastora church. Learning  were about baptism, devils, generaciska curse and Revelation, and all learning was a blessing....

 My prayer is ... for Turkey   My prayer for Turkey was "God my pray is : sports ministry and introduce us with local people so that we can share with them the gospel" it was my prayer for Turkey, and I waited for God . But before I start to write more, I would like to explain some things about Turkey, Turkey is a country with 99% of Islam which is against the law to be against Islam and evangelizing Christianity,  . So after arriving in Istanbul and drive to Kusadasi which is a town in the south of the country 600 km from Istanbul, after...

We arrived late in Guatamala close to 22h and like all good global challengers we slept at the airport to the amusement of the early morning travellers. The bus we took from Guatamala city to Panajachel was intresting in diversity of rainbow colours and lets just say the drive down was speedy and not what i am used to in a public bus down a rather steep hill. But then again nothing of the time in Panajachel was what i am used to.......... When we arrived in Pana i looked forward to lay eyes on the famous Ben of Panajachel...

Namaste from India. We've been working for almost a week in Emmanuel childrens home in Kota, India.  We are restoring an old hostel/ home that has been neglected.  It's taking a lot of sweat (42-48 degree climate) and early mornings ( 5'0 clock) and lots of strength.  We LOVE what we are doing here but the biggest situation is just that we would like to treat the kids with a nice meal but don't have the funds to support our idea. We need R10 00o to give this children a nice meal with some chicken and maybe a treat. There...

In the year we have had some up, down, left and right moments. I will share a few with you...     If you are lonely a tree seems to be "someone" that you can open your heart to  If this does not work there is always a Johan(n) to fill the gap :) Most of the time we struggle with finances and we have to look at cleaver ideas like ensuring we get the eggs that comes from chickens that date stamp their eggs Sometimes we are luck and get some veriety in our meal ooo even better we sometimes...

In considering in partaking in this amazing year I knew that my30th birthday would not be shared with my immediate and close family. A bit of a con on the pro´s and con´s list I know.  And it is just a birthday. Still, the child in all of us do enjoy birthdays. And maybe 30 is a bit more special (and scary) than say turning 29.  But God will not take us where even in an special event like this He will not provide. So my new family of 17 came through in an amazing way. The actual day was...
