Wow......I cannot begin to describe these first 2 weeks at base camp. As you all know, we started on the 12th of January (2 weeks ago) with our training here in Jeffrey's Bay. This was ‘n time of introspection. Of really looking inside and lying it all on the table.
God came and spoke truth into my life and that is the way I want to start this year.
It has been a hectic 2 weeks with a very busy schedule. Global challenge is helping at a school in the local community and we cleaned toilets, washed floors, worked on the playground, painted, washed and just served. We got involved with the teachers and try to help them with their biggest needs.
We also did a journey through the book of Luke, did training in thoephostic prayer ministry, shared testimonies and just got to know each other. The days are just too short and as you can imagine, the nights too. But in all of this I learned a lot about myself and who I am in Christ.
We always hear so much about the love of God and that is amazing grace, but we do not have the fear of God. God is just so much bigger and magnificent that we with our small minds can ever imagine. If I look at the ocean......with the sun rising in the east, I just realise that I am nothing without God. I find my purpose, my strength and my identity in Him. I'm looking forward to see what God wants to do not only through me and the team, but every vessel in His Kingdom that wants to say: Here I am Lord.....let your will be done in 2009!!!!!!!!
Till next time
