And so it begins. One overcast morning in Fusagasuga, Colombia, four team members received their first challenge papers as the Green Team. After tearful goodbyes to the residents of the New Tribes base, we donned our heavy backpacks and started the long walk to the "mercado", or the market. 

 We are almost at the end of our time, and wow, it is the year in which I have definitely learnt the most. We just came from Bosnia I Herzegovina where we were blessed. We had an awesome time with the pastor there, Pastor Mladen, and for once we didn’t call him Ben. In Bosnia we had the opportunity of praying for the church, where we could proclaim Christ as King, and pray blessings over it. We felt in the first week that we ought to pray against generational curses, and the first teaching the church had that week was...

      There are a few things that if you come to Brazil you should never forget: your swim suit, your rain coat, your smile, and your alarm clock . This little town of Ubatuba is crammed full of over 102 beaches. I have been here almost two weeks and I am ashamed to say that I have only been to about two of them, and I have yet to make it into the water.  (rest assured, it will happen) Now, it being rainy season and all here, it can be kind of a downer to be walking down the street...

Ministering in a country that is of catholic belief, Mayan culture, a heritage of witchcraft and Satanism, idol worship and practises, generational curses and spiritual warfare, in Spanish and local dialects is quite confronting at first. n But God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of authority through the Spirit. In Luke 10:19 Jesus says to his disciples- “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to overcome, all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you…”As a team we learnt and developed in our authority in and through the Spirit and...

Time is something we all have and work from, without time where would we be? Time is concept of how we arrange our lives and how we live it........ Time REVEALS all It is time  share what has been on my heart for a few week now.... the question i have been aking myself is where do i begin and how do i put into words what i have experienced... For the last couple of weeks i have been asking God to show me what it means to know Him and to Really understand who He really is... In Phil 1v29 it says "for...

During our whole time in Morocco I was thinking ahead to our next country: Mauritania. One thing bugged me: the visas. It was possible to get our Mauritanian visas in Rabat, Morocco, but according to the Mauritanian embassy in South Africa we would be able to get it on the border. Knowing of the disconnect that so often exists between embassies and border controls I wasn't entirely comforted. Especially since it was Mauritania, the border was in the middle of the Sahara and I had read stories on the internet of guys coming up against the fluctuating rules at that...

Welcome to... BRAZIL!! Distant Worlds landed in São Paulo on Tuesday and were split up into smaller groups to go stay with families.

The past week we have been here in Israel backtracking Jesus last few days of his walk here on earth, and it has been an AMAZING journey. We have been to the mount of olives, the garden tomb, the "western wall", and just plainly exploring the streets of Jerusalem where He walked, lived, suffered, performed miracles and preached. We are staying in a Hostel in the old city on top of the roof, so every morning we have the MOST beautiful sunrise that we can ask for in the whole world over the Lord's city, and when i look at...

Thank you. First of all,  to Abba Father, He gave me the dream and He provided for me in ways I couldn't even imagine!   To Jesus, for walking with me every step of the way.   To the Holy Spirit for his absolute guidance. This letter is just a big THANK YOU to everybody who was involved in making this 80Days around the world journey possible for me.   Thank you for all your prayers and all your financial support.   Through your contribution you have blessed me in ways that I cannot describe.  I will be forever grateful towards you.  Thank you...
