The great day has arrived!! Today we are flying to Egypt!!! My childhood, school, university and training are all building blocks of my past on which I stand on...  I have a choice to make..... Am I going to let go of every bit of security I think I have to cling onto Jesus Christ with all that I am...   My response to this question can simply be this.... YES LORD, here I am!!!   Pray for my and my team for our protection, pray that we will be Christ's representatives where ever we go! I am praying for...

Having church is a church that speaks the native Egyptian language (Coptic) is an amazing experience!!!    We had church every night, but we could not understand a word they were saying, so while they were singing I just sat and was quiet before God........and I had this simple, yet significant revelation... He is so much more than we think!!! He is not just your Friend, your Father, your Teacher, your Protector and your Comforter.... He is also GOD almighty, Lord of all the heavens and earth, creator of the Universe!!!!   "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of...

This was an amazing opportunity we had to share the Gospel at a Buddist festival in Thailand. God opened the doors for us and He touched so many lives. We praise Him for this. What an awesome God we serve.

The road north, leads towards the mountains and it is long, narrow and winding.  The "horn honking" method of passing traffic and keeping safe echo's in my ear as a resounding gong. The billboards in Delhi describe the greatness and beauty of India and the strong words describe their passion for their country.  I have always referred to the traffic as incredible but when I reached the valley of the Himalayas I exclaimed; INDESCRIBABLE! The hills and valleys stretch as far as the eyes can see and its colors are arranged from; green to dark green, dark blue to grey and...

   The past week in Jerusalem has been an amazing journey where the stories that you heard from childhood just came to life in a totally new way that I could have never imagined.Just to see all the places where most of the Bible stories took place has been a life changing experience and there is no way that i will ever read a single story the same way.(Wessel)   I have always known that Jesus died for me but seeing His grave (where they think he lay) and realizing the shame, rejection, and pain He must have experience was...

Hey everyone!   We, North bound team, had the most blessed time in Turkey.  We had some visitors during this time.  Tannie Dini, Marlize (goggatjie), tannie Fielie and tannie Nita.  It was a priviledge to have them as visitors.  They brought so much flavour to the group.  They were really a big blessing to us.   We stayed in a city on the coast of Turkey, called Kusadasi (the place of birds).  Kusadasi is a very beautiful city.  We stayed at a camping site and we had so much fun there.  We stayed there for our whole visit to Turkey.   ...

The begger on the street always asks you for money or food. he is dirty, stinks and looks like something the cat draged in. how do you judge him? well he comesm and ask for food, you role up your window, or walks past and choose not to hear or see him.Tomorrow the same routine walking...

“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” – 1 John 3:1a.  In my primary, as well as high school, we had to study the general needs of people in Life Orientation. We would be presented two columns, on the one side the heading would read “Needs”, and the other column would read “Wants”. So every year the teacher would draw the two columns on the black board, and we would put up our hands to help her fill in each column. I guess I remember this tradition so...

The long stretch of road across the desert to Nouakchott was very adventurous. It was exciting to think we were busy cruising across the Sahara.     Even though the landscape stayed pretty much constant, the people were changing. Their skin colour became darker as we moved south and soon it was obvious that we had left the European-like Morocco behind and we were entering into the more familiar images of Africa.   Nouakchott was so much African that the sudden change from Morocco was a shock on our systems. It didn't help that we arrived very late at night...

Nepal has been wild so far In the past week we've spent much time with the Church here. Encouraging our family in Christ. The team split up into 2 groups. 7 of us visited house fellowships everyday and attended a few different church services. Bringing the Word of God and seeing people set free! Experiencing the Lord's favor. While the other 4 hiked 8 hours up a mountain to the village of Chepang. There they also attended church service and prayed and encouraged the new believers! Witnessing the Splendor of God and His Creation. Being touched by the humility and...
