I never understood the meaning of faith or believing until my journey at Global Challenge started the 10th of January 2014. God opened my eyes to a whole new world...
Since July 2013 I have been praying about what God wants me to do with my life. Finishing Matric and unsure about what my purpose and calling in life is. The only thing I knew was that God has great things in store for me. But this blew my mind and stretched my "picture of God" beyond what I ever knew..
Trusting in God for all my finances to go on this journey, I can humbly say "He is my provider"...
I came here as 'somebody' desiring to go to the Nations.. Serving and loving them with all that is inside of me... Soon I realise that God has such a caring heart for ME and that He is interested in even the smallest detai in my life... He started to challenge my identity, my understanding of His story and what Grace means... He literally shook every foundation I was familiar with- in order to establish His foundation in my life!
During the weeks of training we received allot of teachings and new things were discovered! There is being imparted SO much into my spirit and heart! I am excited to use these tools in the nations. Telling them God's story, not because we are able, but because God has a plan for His people.... We are only His hands and feet walking where He leads us!
I am leaving the country with the following deep engraved into my heart...
" I am a new spirit filled creation in Jesus by grace and love as a daughter of the living God. I am in right standing with God my Father. I have the desire to obey my ABBA Father in everything He says and I KNOW the sound of His voice. I am a daughter in the house of my Father and I am a partaker in His inheritance! Where I am there is no place for darkness or lies, because I am the daughter of the One who is light! I am a joyful worshipper in spirit and truth. I seek the face of my Father more than everything else. I am a friend of Jesus, were we share in the goodness of the Kingdom of God! I am created in the image of God therefore I am beautiful. I am not equal to this world - I am set-apart and holy for the purpose He created me for. I am a pure bride of Jesus, preparing myself for when He comes back! I am a seeker of the truth and only the truth!"
Follow me every step as our team journey through the Ancient Paths by FAITH...
