  Luke 10 - Ecuador.. in a nutshell - die BLOU span - ek, Charlotte, Jana & Jansie Dag 1 : Ons is die oggend 11uur weg by die nice backpackers in Quito na die dorpie Mira- het as span gebid en gevoel ons moet soentoe,  daar is by die 12 duisend inwoners in Mira waarvan meeste op plase werk as general labors, dus is dit 'n arm dorpie. Afstand gewys is dit redelik naby (300km) aan mekaar mar agv die Andes berge,  vat dit baie lank om iewers uit te kom. Net buite die backpackers het ons by locals...

              The highly awaited highly anticipated, grand Luke 10 journey. You might have heard about it, maybe you have participated in it, maybe you have met a crazy person who have been through it, or maybe you have never heard about this very unique journey! To try to explain it as simple as possible: it is a journey you as a small group embark on for a few days. Our team did it for 7 days (6 nights). It is based on the principles in Luke 10, where Jesus sent out His disciples. He...

This last week, I learnt that The Lord provides in abundance and delights in blessing His children. Us Global Challengers had the opportunity to practically apply all that we have learnt during training by going on a 5-day Luke 10 journey from Wednesday to Sunday. Simply put, we followed in the footsteps of the 72 disciples that were sent out by Jesus as "lambs amongst the wolves" in Luke chapter 10. Each small team prayed and waited upon The Lord for direction as to where He wanted them to go.

A weekend away with Dad, the Ultimate Trip advisor A surprise weekend away with your dad, of course you are not going to pack a change of clothes, money or your cell phone! You just jump in the car and enjoy what he has planned right? We were sent out on a Luke 10 journey, just like when Jesus sent out 72 disciples to heal the sick, tell people that the kingdom of God is near while staying at a person of peace and accepting their hospitality. At first I was shocked that we were doing this but also excited...

  “Abba, I belong to you!” Five words that will be etched into my life forever. Words that have been spoken by many, but truly felt by little. These last few months have been a rollercoaster. So many unexpected turns, so many ups and downs, so much turbulence but so much freedom.  I was thinking about all the people that came before me. All the people that had to make a conscience decision to follow Jesus blindly into what He was doing for them. I recall the story of Cain and Abel. Abel brought a better sacrifice to God by...

Thailand has been fantastic! Our team has developed so much in terms of unity as well as individually in the Spirit. How can one not have increasing faith after being sustained by God for more than a week. All of our Luke 10 experiences were majestic and to the purest form, a Father spoiling His children. Going into a stage where we started asking questions about our futures, this new faith He has given us tends to the fears and uncertainties about our lives after Global. God is good and sovereign. He has proven Himself faithful beyond measure and through...

...The adventure of a lifetime.For those of you who don't know what a Luke 10 is let me quickly explain it. You can read Luke 10:1-9 and that sums it up pretty well, but for those of you who don't have a Bible on hand a Luke 10 is where they send us out without money and limited supplies. What is taken differs from team to team. Our team had just enough money to get to and from Mae Sot with a little left over for buying drinking water, our toothbrushes, a change of clothes, Bible, and a rain jacket.Starting out...
