Jerusalem se tweede paragraaf. "Ani Le dodi v'dodi Lee" (I am His beloved and He is mine) Woorde kan skaars beskryf wat in my hart aangaan. Daar is soveel emosie dat ek amper nie weet hoe om myself uit te druk nie. Saterdag, 10 Januarie het ek 5am opgestaan die oggend en op die Olyfberg gaan bid en die Evangelie gelees. Dit was wonderlik. Op pad terug het ek die Via Dolorosa vir ºn tweede keer gestap en met my 'ipod' in my ore luister ek na die woorde van hierdie liedjie wat Jeremy Camp sing: ``...

Uncertain future, certain God.
Our journey back to South Africa was undoubtedly paved by the hand of the Father. The moment we heard the seriousness of Corona, we as teams were called to meet together at a central place in Brazil - a house in the mountains near a very small town. ...
Led to Lead
I'm leading a team this year! In less than four years God has come and radically changed my life for the better. I believe that each and every single one of us are led to lead. In other words Christ leads us to lead others to him. What a privil...
Would you jump with me?
I remember standing at the edge of a cliff. Looking out at the big wide blue ocean. Looking down and seeing a beautiful scary blue unknown. My heart pounding in my chest like the sound of an epic climactic drum solo. Should I jump? Should i let go of...
Into the nations
Hello, my name is Johan Bruwer. I am on the brink of a 10-month journey where I will see and be a part of the establishment of God’s kingdom in the nations. I believe that the great commission is not an option to be considered, but it is a command to...
Discovering God
After finishing a blog on how God changed my mindset, about things I did not like doing and showing me other wise, I was not convinced that that was what I was supposed to share. After some amazing teachings this past few days and spending some...

Hidden World in The World
And just like that we were saying our good bye's and getting on a plane, watching South Africa disappear beneath us and bidding it farewell for the next 8 months. Hidden World is officially in the nations. It still seems unreal to us. 8 weeks ago we ...

For the first time in almost a year I thought of how I got to this place in my life. It has been 15months since I started pursuing God with everything I am; just to find that He has been pursuing me my whole life. Back then I was standing at the beginning of a bright and promising career in Dentistry with an unparalleled ambition to make a difference. I was going to conquer the world, alone, one smile at a time! Now, many months later, I find myself on the other side of the world, hardly recognizing that...
In the beginning of the year I had a chat with a friend of mine and she mentioned that she never again wanted to pray for someone she didn’t love. Actually meaning that her prayer is useless without love if its just filled with religion. Her words has been with me ever since and I realized that I needed first to know God’s love for me; experience it, accept it, breath it. His love was all I wanted and needed and it was all I prayed about. “Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am...

I met Jesus yesterday... He had torn clothes and in His drunkenness, highness and with glue dripping from His nose He asked me if I could hold His hand... I was shocked! I never thought that I would meet Him in the streets of Nakuru... In the hearts of homeless street kids who have nothing to offer but love... You see what I have come to realize is that nothing can separate you from God's love, not the things you do, where you come from or what you have or don't have. God is love and those kids just desperately...

The other night Gerrie, Connie and I were walking to buy something when two guys stopped us and asked whether we speak english (because we are in a french speaking country). They come from Liberia and told us that they have been traveling for seven years because of the instability and war in their country. They heard that matters have settled in their country and have been trying to get to an liberian embassy. Unfortunately there isn't an embassy here and they asked us to help in anyway we could. We have a very thin budget so we decided that it should come from personal...
Declared, Comitted,or Surrendered. Which term describes your relationship with God the best?
We have to shine like this beautiful sunrise and shine to the world and tell the world about our God because He is the only God and we praise him with all our heart !!!
Where do I start. I haven't blogged since training and it's our 6th country on journey. But a friend, back in Jeffreys Bay, had encouraged me to blog. Driving in the back of Steve's land cruiser, listening to Jack Johnson, on our way to the Frey's home to stay there for the weekend. It's our last weekend and I don't want to say goodbye. There has been so much freedom here, so many breakthroughs. A lot of prophecy in team and unity I've never experienced in my life. Although the spiritual atmosphere was heavy. For the first time I experienced...
Have you ever experienced a 34 hour day? Imagine that... traveling... different time zones... minimal sleep!!! That was South Bound from New Zealand to Mendoza, Argentina! After we made a semi-successful attempt to sleep on the Mendoza airport, we were given the plans for the next few days! ¨In your small groups, go and explore South America, this is the time, you have 6 days, R100 per day per person... and all you need to do is meet up again in Lima in 6 days! See places, jump of a bridge!!!¨ This was Global Challenge we all thought!!! Time to explore South America! Macchu Pittchu maybe!...
