Durante mi estadia en Uganda tuvimos la oportunidad de aplicar DBS (Discovery Bible Study) dentro de la comunidad y uno de los temas que me llamo la atencion fue la parabola del hijo prodigo. Todos conocemos esta parabola , trata sobre un hijo que sale de casa con su herencia y producto de sus malas decisiones termina cuidando cerdos. Esta persona reconoce su condicion y decide regresar a la casa de su Padre pero con la intencion de volverse un siervo. Conversaba con una amiga sobre esta historia y le hice esta pregunta ¿Te consideras hija o sierva de Dios...

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?

Yummy Bread a Chinese Lady made for us, freshly baked!

Wow what an amazing experience I have had in the past few weeks here in China. From day to day just following after God's own heart and will is an adventure of a life time. Let me share some of these adventures; they include riding on a camel in the desert, flying over the yellow river on a cable,

 

Looking back I am greatful for the chance to be part of what God is doing in Zanzibar. As final serving act we painted the church in Stone Town, together with the congregation. They were so eager to paint that we left the idea of painting it neatly. We did our best to finish is well, but it was also good that the congregation participated. That is worth much more than a perfectly painted building. They were very excited about their "Christmas present".  As previously noted, our budget was tight so the team pitched in to buy the paint for...

20 000 000 people in one city!! Have you ever imagine that? You don't want to! Woman walking around in scarfs, covering their faces! Their eyes are full of pain, heartbreak and rejection. How will we ever make a difference in a city so big with so many people? I saw how the whole of Egypt bow before Jesus Christ and declare that is Lord. Everything is possible for our God!!! 

Dahab  (4 March - 10 March)   Praying for continents, countries, communities and families, fasting meals and standing in the gap while trusting God for breakthroughs...., it can leave you physically, emotionally and spiritually drained.     Trying to motivate ourselfs we often seek results and get discouraged when little is found.  How then can we stay motivated, and why so little results?    Hear are a few principles :   Allways pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Prayer is not results driven, but so much more heart driven!! Have a pure heart and live a lifestyle of repentance,...

Yes, you all wanna stay in Gautengeleng... at least you should!

We had such a blessed weekend away (14 and 15 January) with many previous Global Challengers who now live in the Gauteng and the surrounding area (and even had some visitors from China and Jeffrey’s Bay – now that’s commitment!).

Over the last few weeks I have seen and smelt things I will never forget! Your senses are constantly insulted from the crazy traffic to the swarms of people on the streets to the cows and dogs wandering everywhere! To a british person who is used to queues and order this was quite an eye opener! It is really survival of the fittest. However on the contrary there just seemed to be a lack of life with people just sat at the side of the road with no purpose or hope of anything more than they have at the moment. It is a strange paradox.

When i think of this short yet epic tale i am reminded of the words that The Lord spoke to me through uncle joe at the beginning of the year..." Let's go and do exploits, my girl" oh WOW what a little exploit this was.
