Hola amigo´s!!
Brazil has flown by so fast and the time came to say goodbye to our new friends with a farewell at Elaine's house last night. Little did we know, a challenge would be sprung on us so suddenly! As we write this we are challenging the blue and yellow teams around the streets of Ubatuba!!!

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

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...
What a joy to be able to speak Afrikaans in South America and understand the Dutch speaking Surinamese people! Brother Moes and Sister Lilian received us with open arms at the Hebron Zendelinge Skool. We spent our days building relationships and sharing stories with the humble Zendelinge students while helping out on the farm picking cherries, cleaning and chopping fish, collection eggs from the chicken coop and picking and cutting up star apples. During our "bidstonde" (prayer meetings) in the mornings God kept placing the youth of the world on our hearts. We prayed for their spiritual eyes to be...

Welcome to... BRAZIL!! Distant Worlds landed in São Paulo on Tuesday and were split up into smaller groups to go stay with families.
Normal 0 We arrived at 8:00 in Oaxaca, very tired and hungry. We prayed together and split up (some went to look for the cheapest bus tickets to Mexico City, while the rest had to stay with the luggage). The cheapest bus was at the bus station at the other end of the city and left at 23:00. We traveled to the other bus station and spent our day waiting in one of their waiting rooms. Some tried sleeping on the chairs, while others got out their mattresses and tried to make themselves comfortable on the...
Good day ladies and gentleman, fellow gentiles and people who accedently followed this hash tag. Global challenge training has been the best time of my life! And that is the truth! i learnt the meaning of life! Yes I know 'what a 'cliche'. A young adult finding herself and the meaning of life during her gap year, but dear unknown reaaders, this is a whole diffirent experience from other life defining gap years. i quote the lyrics from that Hillsong song "I found my life when i lay it down". now i get that it might sound proud, but bare...
Hello friends, Here is an update on my journey. Again the pictures will tell the stories. This is our plane that took us to Madrid. We had to fly to Greece via Madrid. In Greece they had a strike so we had to wait on the runway for 3 hours before we arrived in Athens. When we finally arrived we could not found any transport because of the strike and had to sleep on the airport. The next morning the strike was over and we could use the brilliant public transport system of Greece. This is the view from outside...
