A Tour of the Father's Heart for Africa: Explore Africa Expedition
Perception through the human eye alone is limited, both in depth and distance. Our weak attempt to see the Father's heart through visual aids offered to us by the world and sometimes by religion itself leaves us abandoned to an even more severe blindness and to oppressive misconceptions of who He is. My heart's desire is to take on His lenses and embark on an expedition of His Heart for African nations.
I am embarking on an adventure to get to know the Father’s heart through service and mission work throughout Africa, and I would really love your help. Global Challenge Expeditions is a year-long program sending teams of young people throughout predominately Muslim countries in Africa to share the good news of Christ, build orphanages, study the Scripture, and encourage fellow believers. In addition to your prayers I need your financial support, to fund the trip I need to raise R75 400. If you feel moved to help fund this mission, you can contribute through Explore Africa Account.
As a Construction Project Manager, I do what I am qualified to do however this profession has not been my passion. I have come to learn, over the past couple of years that the construction industry is not where I belong. Being in this industry has been a meaningful part of my journey with God however I would love to embark on a journey where I can truly explore His heart for people.
Out of desperation and a hunger to live a life that brings Him Glory through the gifts that He has graciously imparted to me, I have been continuously crying out to God and seeking Him for a way to serve Him effectively. In my journey of seeking God’s will for my life I strongly felt that I needed to step out of the construction industry, however, at the time I did not know the direction in which I would go. I did nonetheless make a decision to step out even before I knew where I was going. A few weeks later, two of my friends who have been very instrumental in my walk with God suggested that I apply for Global Challenge Expeditions. I read about the vision and mission of Global Challenge Expeditions and it really echoed something of God’s heart that I longed to be a part of. I looked at the cost and then proceeded to walk away. After being challenged to trust God for the seemingly impossible I returned to my computer and began the application process for 2011.
I am very excited about this new journey and I look forward to discovering God’s heart for people in a different and more challenging way. I look forward to being used by God to bring His Good News to the lost, to restore the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the oppressed and to comfort those who mourn. I also hope to get to know my Father better during my adventure with Him. I would love to see my heart break for what breaks His. I not only want to experience Him as my friend but I want to learn how to be His friend as it is said by the prophet Jeremiah, ‘The Lord confides in those who fear Him’. Not only do I want to know Him but I want to become more like Him. I also hope to gain a better understanding of His will for my life. The expectation therefore is that through this experience God will not only use me but shape my character and prepare my heart for what is to come.
Please prayerfully seek God for guidance if you feel led to give money, my heart is not for you to give under compulsion of this appeal. More than anything else I would value your prayers. I recently heard a saying
“When education sector does something, you get what the education sector can do; when man does something, you get what man can do, but when you pray for something, you get what God can do.” – Unknown Source
I believe that your prayers will be invaluable in being a part of what God will do next year.
