  Day 1 The first day was our day of faith. Completely surrendering and just doing as God tells us to. We got our first lift just outside town at the entrance of Mike and Adelle (from Crossroads) new home called “MOOIBOS”; they took us all the way to Antigua – 4 hours. Our second lift was a very old pick-up but it was sufficient and it took us all the way to Guatemala city, as we were walking down the street quite hungry I prayed and asked God where we should get food and very clearly on the wall...

My vision for 80 Days 2009   TO KNOW HIM AS FRIEND, TRUST HIM AS SAVIOR AND OBEY HIM AS LORD!! TO LOVE GOD DANGEROUSLY, OBSESSIVELY AND UNDENIABLE!!   My vision for this expedition is to experience God’s love and to grow in Him.  I want to touch people by being involved in their communities.   ‘And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust Him.  May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvellous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how...

Now since we last spoke we travelled to Belize, transit through Guatemala, Panama for a week and then Brazil, with our Luke 10 journey starting in Rio de Janeiro and the rest of the time in Ubatuba and Sao Paulo city.  The Lord has really been so faithful and I can´t wait to start telling you of all that happened…so here we go!   ...Belize... We started our journey out of Panajachel, Guatemala very early on the 21 st of July, on the way to Guatemala City where we spent the day, and at 11 at night we started the...

 If I think about all the thoughts I had about India previously, not one of them comes close to what I am currently experiencing...

Normal 0 Today we were in Pajijiapan with the pastor and his wife who took us in.   They took us for breakfast in their restaurant and then Christine did the blog while the rest walked around in town. When they returned they chatted with the pastor and his wife and Elzet and Christine went back to the home to try and do some laundry (not very successful, it started raining when the laundry was on the washing line and did not dry in time by the time we packed again)   We bought bus tickets to our next destination...

Ahoi friends and family! Let me introduce you to the fast- as- lightning- very- very- frightening Silver Team... Erin, Jean, Chantelle, and Gehta. As we write this, we are sitting in an internet cafe in Ubatuba, Brazil safe and well. What a blast the past two months has been training in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, and what a privilege it is to now be in Brazil! It was an honour to have had Joe Erwing in our last week of training. He gave awesome teachings on the gifts of the Holy Spirit! It was sooo cool to be sent out being equipped...

Our time in Tioman was a time of change. It was great to have De Necker with us and give teachings and helps us throw a couple of problems. He was such a blessing. The fresh outlook on things gave us a new hunger and courage to keep on doing what we are called for, although it is not always easy. From Toiman we did our Luke 10 back to KL and then we flew to Borneo in Indonesia. My brother always said he wants to come here one day and I always wanted to join him.  Back then it...

  Peru is divided in three different climates: Rainforest, dessert & Ocean and mountains - the Andes. We spent one month in Peru. As well as different the climates are so are the people and the ways people live. In no other country we had so many ministry opportunities. I remember one day in one of the villages in the Andes: 3 School visits, later children programm in a park and then in the evening evangelism in a public place. That's a good example of how packed the time in Peru was. Additional it was cold, we couldn't sleep much...

The team has asked me to give you a quick update on their current status in China.

You are all aware of the situation developing between Tibet and the Chinese government… This affected our team in the sense that some of the cities we would’ve visited during this month have now been closed to foreigners and all the teams have moved to a city closer to the Yellow River in Central China.

I remembered so good the day I watched the movie, and thinking: How can a king make so much effort to build relationship with a servant?   And then I came to Malaysia – and this is what I found…   Serving in a school the Lord had a very specific plan for me. We served from the morning to night, being part in different things and serving in ways that was far above what I thought I could do!!! The Lord taught me out of Rom 8:1 – 17 and I want to share that with you…   *...
