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? ...

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
And just like that we were saying our good bye's and getting on a plane, watching South Africa disappear beneath us and bidding it farewell for the next 8 months. Hidden World is officially in the nations. It still seems unreal to us. 8 weeks ago we ...

The preaching list... Definition: “A sequenced list with names of the Hidden World 2014 team predicting when one would prepare and present a message to a church, school, assembly or gathering.” A.K.A – THE LIST! I knew my time of preaching will soon be here. And I looked forward to it! The previous time when it was almost my turn, the Lord threw a surprise at my front door. In Guyana, which already feels like it was ages ago, our team split into our small teams to visit two different churches on one sunny Sunday morning. Tiaan gave us the...
Humbled. Silent. Humbly silent. In the busyness of Peru, we still had the privilege of being given time to climb Machu Picchu. Three years of excitement stored up for this moment, I was ready to go - not even the 2000 death steps we had to climb to get to the top could dull the excitement buzzing in me. When we got to the top, we were greeted by thick mist and could hardly see what was in front of us. Trying to stay positive and accepting the fact that I wouldn't get good photos, I stared at the mist...
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.
India is a collage of sights, sounds and feelings that until now I've had difficulty putting into words. In the first place it's the madness of Delhi and the frustrations of that first day. It's the long windy roller coaster roads and our formula 1 drivers, with the angels working overtime. It's the amazing breathtaking Himilayas that stretches as far as the eye can see (when the clouds permit it), with its many hidden valleys, where the people has never even heard the name of Jesus. It's a little boy begging for food, with his baby sibling in his arms....
Hi everyone the red team is in Jerusalem Isreal together with the rest of the southbound and northbound teams. It is a real blessing to be here and we have explored the city and visited the mount of olives, the garden tomb, the wailing wall etc. We are also going to Bethlehem tomorrow. It is amazing to see and experience the places where Jesus walked and lived. The Red team is or 3 of the 4 is sick at the moment and we really need prayer for our health. Other payer requests is that you will ask God to direct our steps as we travel...
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!).
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.

These last three weeks changed my life!! For the first time I really saw where God is busy working!! Just a quick statement; God don't need you and me to do His work, He is busy working from the day of the fall!! That day He started working in the peoples hearts and He is changing them everyday!! The first village that we visit, we met some new believers and while we were praying for them 3 men just came in. It was muslim men so we were a bit sceptic. The pastor that lives there asked them what they want...
