  Welcome, you're welcome and what's up? Come eat my irish, my pocho (or pap) . Add some sweet banana , jackfruit and smile, but don't hold your breath, this might take a while... Take a boda-boda , yeah, catch my ride; Even if it breaks down, at least I tried. Don't mind the stray goat or cow . They'll know we're coming, somehow... "Mzungu, how are you?" is the most common phrase. But don't expect them to come running with tea trays. But take all this with a pinch of salt and say: "Hakuna Matata!" "That's 'lekker' , like...

We got to Guatamala after a long time of traveling.  We slept one night at the Airport of Guatamala because it was to late to start traveling to our destination.  The town's name is Panajachel.  So the next morning we started to travel.   Panajachel is beautiful.  The town is on the side of a big lake.  There is a lot of town's around this lake.  On the other side of the lake from Panajachel there are 2 big Vulcano's and a smaller one.  It is really very beautiful!!!  Google it if you would like to see.   What do you do their? ...

So I believe you have read our Hidden world blog on our first week of travels. This was definitely not how you would start a journey - hitch hiking to Paraguay because you do not have enough money. But God provide to each of us in the way we needed and there is definitely a plan with our first week being so challenging regarding finances.   So we made it to Santiago, Chile, in one peace, very excited to do our first ministry. Immediately the church embraced us, loved us and blessed us. So for me only one word describes Chile - OVERWHELMED. It started by God...

So this is the account of our Luke10 faith journey. This story starts with two guys setting out on an adventure. Jesus sent out his disciples two by two into towns to prepare the way for the kingdom. We prayed and felt God said we should travel through Argentina to the city of Asuncion in Paraguay. I asked God to show me His love on this Luke 10...He did. Day 1 - Wednesday 14 Oct On a bus from Chile to Argentina at 05:00 We traveled over the Andes mountains at 4200m above sea level Andes mountains are amazing...snow capped...

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!!!

On the 1st of April 2012 06:00 am WYW received our first challenge and our deadline was the 3rd of April 13:00 pm... Our challenge wasn't for the faint-hearted, we had to travel from Panajachel, Guatemala to Cancun, Mexico.. Which is about 1400 km with very little food and water, we also and a very limited budget of 260Q (R264) per person.. We took 6 chicken-busses from Panajachel to the Mexican border and during that time we saw how amazing GOD's provision is. GOD really helped us during this tough time. After the border we took 2 taxi's to San...

You never know what you can live without until you have to carry everything in one bag on your back -JS This week has been the craziest and probably most frustrating time of my entire life, we didn't get our Macedonia visas and had to come to Israel earlier. I have never felt the need to make notes of what happens to me until I experienced this week and knew I had to tell you guys all about it. I am currently sitting in my tent and decided I HAVE to write. Everything I am using now fits into my...

  Macedonia - what a surreal country. On the one hand beautiful fairy tale landscapes with frozen-in-time villages, and on the other hand poor Roma (gypsy) communities and refugee camps. Our main focus for the country was serving and connecting with the refugees but of course we experienced so much more. With some experience in previous countries with the crises, I went out day one excited to make new friends and practice some of the Arabic I have learned. But this was not like our previous encounters. We drove 40min each day through the beautiful colourful countryside on the way...

 By Stefan / 6 April 2008 / One year since my last visit to China  

Today I experienced one of the greatest feelings ever!

A friend of mine has come to know Christ!!

Exactly a year ago we met a young man travelling through China! He blessed us in so many ways and we really became great friends! Through building a close friendship we were able to share our faith with him.

CHINA - Written by Sulene 

What a joyful experience... 

Buying "mielies" on the streets of China, who would've thought? First, you need a friendly smile!  But that is not hard to give or to receive in a city where very few people have ever seen a bunch of foreigners sitting around with huge backpacks on the street corner.
