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 ...

When reality hits me in Jamaica. When I was still in school, teachers loved reminding me how good or easy I still have it. How the tough part in life comes when you no longer experience the comfort of routine, family, friends and dependency on others. They used to tell me that reality is a cruel thing, striking you when you're down and waiting patiently for you to muster the strength to force yourself back up, only to hit you again with an evil smirk on its face. They would say "One day you will think back and you will...
In 2006 we met a young lady, Jacqueline… she wasn’t able to walk or even stand up on her own. After much prayer we left her, trusting that God will continue his work in
her.
What an amazing year this has been for our Lime team. The Lord has been doing wonderful things in and through our lives. We started off in January at Alabanza ........ and ended the year with a bang in Jeffreysbay..... Thank you God for an amazing year like this.A year that changed our lives forever, a year where we saw the nations through His eyes, a year where we re-established ourselves in Christ and being transformed in His image. It was a privilege to journey with Him and spend time together on a daily basis. As a team we served together, prayed together,...
As the my people would know... I am an absolute dreamer, 'dagdromertjie verby' and up to the last few weeks I always kept all my dreams up in my head as pretty pictures but with no use. I believe that God truly gave me a gift of dreaming... seeing pictures to communicate with me. So as I am really trusting God this year to help me develope this gift I would love to share with you a little provision from God : Just before we entered Dahab (small touristy town in middle of desert next to red sea) I...
We truly serve an awesome God :)
Training has been simply amazing so far - getting to know the Distant Worlds team has been interesting, while developing my relationship with Christ has been nothing but fulfilling.
Videos are more fun than photos... :-)
Red Hill, Cape Peninsula
12 February 2008 - There was only one thing that kept the people back from building today: wind.
And the wind was extremely unhelpful.
Each volunteer was covered in a thin layer of black dust by the end of the day, and most were trying to get sand out of their, ears, eyes and mouths. Still the volunteers and the locals kept pushing on, knowing that time and the elements was against them. The sooner a shack is put up, the sooner people can get out of the wind into their own places.
An appeal for funds for the orphanage in India.
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...
