Isanbul - A place of contrast. Located on two continents, a city of many worlds. The place that dominated continents. The meeting point of cultures and civilization. A capital of culture, an inspiration, and a true Turkish delight. It's hard to describe a city with so many years of history. We arrived at the place wish soon turned in to my most memorable adventure destination so far. Settling in to our hostel, and getting a good night of rest (that only lasted until 5 in the morning due to the multitude of world renowned mosques...

I want to start this by thanking everyone who supported us, financially and spiritually. This would not have been possible without all your support!! We definitely felt all the prayers and that was what made me still stand in very hard times. Summarizing this Tibet experience in one sentence: God's love for His children and moving mountains to prove it. This journey actually started in July when one of the team members had a dream. She shared this dream with me and told me we will go to China. I didn't believe her and said it will be impossible, just because...
My heart lies scatted over Africa captured in the smiles of orphans and the courage of missionaries In the pit of poverty I discovered the wealth of community In the midst of brokenness I developed joy In the heat of accusations I found identity In my prideful parade I uncovered my weakness In the inconvenience of companionship I made peace with my incompleteness In a desperate longing for independence I saw the beauty of fellowship Disgusted with my own imperfection I finally understood Grace Faced with injustice; my heart yearns for the Saviour I have not changed the world I’m...
After an excruciating two days of travel by bus and train and hanging out at various interesting stop over stations, we arrived in Macedonia in the middle of the night - tired, dirty and hungry. Our moods were immediately lifted when we were welcomed by our friendly hosts who received us at the train station with big smiles and joyful hearts. They treated us to a midnight feast of the biggest hamburgers we have ever seen and it was not long before realized that Macedonia, like the Middle East has a very late night culture. Nothing happens before 10 in...

Paul meet the Ephesian Elders Acts 20v21. I have had one message for Jews and Greeks alike - the necessity of repenting from sin and turning to God, and of having faith in our Lord Jesus. Guatemala was the all to do with walking in the faith that we have in Christ. From the word GO! Swine flu infested areas, witch craft, demons, deliverance, responding to the Holy Spirit, laying hands on the sick, the poor, demon infested, widows and children. And going on a Luk 10 journey, trusting God to provide in your every need - and teaching...
Week 3&4 The last 2 weeks in Cuba we were more involved in some of the ministry of the church. We had the opportunity to lead some of the youth church meetings and it was great to see how they interacted and engaged in what we did and how they wanted to learn. We did a lot to take them out of their comfort zone and had some meeting on the roof of the church, did the toothpaste drama (and I took part it was really disgusting and not so disgusting at the same time) and made them do a...
