Hello everyone!!!
Since this is my first blog, I thought it good, just to give you all a bit of background of myself!!
I'm from Bloemfontein, Freestate in South Africa, I'm turning 23 this year, I finished studying last year, I studied to be an accountant!
My favourite :
Food - is a spit braai
Drink - Coke
Colour - Blue
Movie - Legends of the fall
Song - (at the moment) - 'All I need is you' by Hillsong
Hobbies - Playing guitar and surfing
I heard of Global Challege through friends in my church about two years ago and was really interested. But at that time I was still in the middle of my studies, so I first had to finish my studies first if I wanted to do something like that!! I eventually finished my studies at the end of last year and applied for a job at an accounting firm in Bloemfontein! At about that time I started speaking to one of the teachers who used to work at my school, that in the mean time left the school and became a leader at Global challenge. So after I spoke to him a couple of tims, I decoded to postpone my work to 2012, and go on Global Challenge this year!!
We've been busy since the 12th of January, and I can really testify of how good God is!! I've really learned so many new things(like making french toast and putting up a fence...only to name 2) and really just grown so much in my relationship with God!
Over the past 2 months I've come to see and taste the joy that God gives us. He wants us to overflow with joy! He gives us so much joy in being part of the work He has given us (like being part of what the local church is doing, and being really involved with what they are doing) But many times we just miss out big time to experience that joy because we're too tired or not just not wanting to be part of the work He has given us!
I really want to encourage everyone to be part of the local church and get involved with what they are doing!!
We are currently in Brazil, Ubatuba. It's been such a blessed time thusfar and trusting that the last 2weeks would also be something to remember!! I've put up a couple of pics of our time her, so hope you enjoy!!
