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...

I am currently at Alabanza in Harties.  I have met the group that I will be travelling with for the next 80 days.  There are 10 girls and 6 guys.  There are 3 Americans!! I have been really practicing my English!!

I have travelled the world. Seen all the sites… but I am constantly confronted with the same question:  “Do I love Christ more?

What is beauty? Who is the beholder?
Come and join me on a journey through Africa to the final destination - Zambia...

Beauty is the green fields and trees after the lovely rainy season. It's the distribution of chips and cooldrinks in the
bucket-seated bus. The smile of Blessed (the child in the bus). Beauty is the humble, concerned woman at the busrink in
Buluwayo.

The Lıon and the Lamb Croatıa... one of the most beautıful countrıes we have been to thıs year, not because of the ancıent cıty ın Splıt or the beautıful scenary but because of the people.  The Lord really used people durıng thıs tıme to teach and shape me. One of the bıggest themes throughout Croatıa was ‘the Lıon and the Lamb’.  He took me on a journey through Song of Songs and Hebrews and just Hıs revealed Hıs unendıng love and faıthfulness and grew me ın godly fear and reverance. I grew ın character and realısed how desperately ın need...

We are serving at an orphanage in India at the moment. We are teaching the children, and also repainting their school. But while we are serving them, God is building into our own life’s… To each new country I go to, I go with a certain expectation or goal. Not a set plan, or a task driven schedule, but in the quit times that I sit with God. I ask Him for certain things to happen in the different counties we visit. My expectation or goal for India is to give myself unconditionally in any and in all ways. To...

              During one of our prayer sessions in Panajachel (Gautamala) we came across this river that flowed all the way to the Lake here in Panajachel.  I truly experienced that God wanted to tell me something special about this river.  We continued on with praying and I just truly sensed that God wanted to remove all the durt and filth within this river.  The river symbolizing Gautamala.  While doing some bible study I truly experienced this bible verse to be the word God wanted to share with Gautamala and our time here.  "And he showed me a pure river of water of life,...

If the trip would have to end now, it would have been worth while.

Basecamp!! Many bright tents with different brands are pitched behind a sanddune @ the Jeffreysbay Caravan Park! Young people from all over South Africa have gathered to prepare and pray for the journey of a lifetime.   Like the Isrealites pitched their tents in the desert and waited for God's presence to come down in a cloud or fire so the Global Challenge Expeditions wait for God at the base of the 2009 before they go into the Nations. We are all very excited and with a huge expectation we wait to see what amazing work God is going to...
