Don’t you just love it when words jump out of a page and breathe life into your very being and make you want scream at the top of your lungs …THERE is MORE TO LIFE PEOPLE! Welcome to life outside the box, “sticking it to the man” and “doing what Jesus would do”...

…drum roll please…

LUKE 10 journey 2011

We spent one week in Greece. One week that help to shape my life. Our ministry there was to clean up the accommodation facilities and prepare the camping grounds for the summer season. We were preparing the ground for summer camps...both physically and in prayer!:) In the afternoons we had the opportunity to swim in the ocean, take long walks along the shoreline, play some sports and explore the little coastal town of Leptokarya. We also had amazing times of worship on the grass outside and around the camp fire at night where God really revealed Himself to us in...

Coffee with Discontent Seventeen months ago I got married and moved to rural Maasai land, Kenya. My husband has lived here for 15 years and is semi local by now. Before I moved, I realized that many things that had been life giving to me - like playing in a band, having philosophical conversations and having “me- time” - will probably not be available. In fact, I realized that I will not be having female friends for a long time and that communication with people back home will be limited. I would have other things though – a husband, beautiful...

Being faced with some major decisions about my future, a friend has asked me one simple yet complex question:  “What would you do if fear did not influence your choice?”  And of course this question has started one of those major thinking cycles in my head.

  Dear Friends,We are on the last stretch, heading homeward! We just completed the ministry time on Zanzibar and will start our trip down to SA in the next two days.The last few weeks God has been reminding us as a team to finish strong and has given us the scripture from 2 Timothy 4:7, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith."We know, with His grace, we can finish well.While on the island Anna-Marie visited us. She was of great encouragement to the whole team and also came to facilitate the...

We are busy with a challenge stretching over two days, and we took a photo at a fire-station... What this space for more news!!!

  It all happened so fast, because it felt like yesterday where we arrived in this warm country. One moment we were still in an air-conditioned airplane, but the next we were outside in the heat. What lied ahead was something which everyone was a little bit afraid of. We went to the Himalayas for a week to do a VERITAS course, just to escape the heat and the noise of Delhi. We arrived there and had the best time there, and God really treated us a lot! We saw the top point of the majestic mountains and it was the...

Dear world out there How can i  describe the past three weeks with mere human words? I wish is were possible to transfer thoughts from one mind to another without using word, because words can be so limiting. I'm experiencing JOY, laughter, excitement, intimacy with my First Love :) , beautiful scenery, extraordinary talks (thanx floyd), amazing honest raw abundant seeking-His-face worship (thanx retief, and God), hard work at the primary school and wonderful new God-honouring friendships being born, to name just a few of the things i'm experiencing! In short: I'm loving this simple life! :)  God is my Base...
