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....

 Here are some photos that i have taken. It is going AWESUM and I still enjoy it very much We have another race and including the flight and travel from jerusalem to Cairo = 4 days. Yes 4 days are we were TIRED.  The photos include something from everywhere. Jerusalem, Cairo, Malaysia and Tailand.   Enjoy         Birth place of Jesus below food in Thailand below     

Day five started very slowly as last night our room was, as Welman stated, like a primary school rugby tour.  We stayed up late telling ghost stories in the dark… and then everyone had to go to the bathroom together like a bunch of… uhm… girls.   Last evening Bernard spoke at the women’s gathering.  Being a guy, this was quite a daunting task, but God came through and gave Him the necessary words.  The message was on the compassionate God we serve and how He looks after us because we are His children. De Necker then had the men to preach...

This photo were taken during our prayer walk on Kotini Eden Farm - FCE Terrain near Masaiti! Just also want to thank all our supporters, friends and family for your prayers!! All is well and we are learning so much! May God Bless Blue Team  

   What a great time I had in Wellington when a few of us Global challengers joined up with Stormco for ministry. Stormco is a New Zealand based ministry for young teens. Stormco is an acronym for Service To Others Really Matters and that's exactly what we did in the week. For the duration of the week we run a kids club in the mornings with the theme Avalanche Ranch, Wah Hoo! Many kids from the community attended the club and we had great fun with them. During the afternoons we would go out into the community and serve them by...

Normal 0 We arrived quite early (6:00) after a cold night in the bus.   Somehow water got in from the floor of the bus (strange, but true) and soaked some of our hand and day bags.   We sat and tried sleeping in the cold on the bus stop until God gave us further instructions… about 9:00 we got on a train and traveled to a backpackers’ towards the center of town. Between the two trains we had to catch to get to our destination Paul gave us all a VERY big fright by falling down the stairs…crutches and...

Preparing for take-off... ((This blog SHOULD have been posted before we left SA, but the website kept kicking me out... he he he! - edit)) To say that we have had a great time in preparation for GCEX'09 would be the understatement of the year. God has been faithful in so many ways, it is impossible to report it all. Our two weeks of retreat in the Transkei was a magnificent breakaway from the pace and clutter that is Jeffrey's Bay. Beautiful, tranquil – what a lovely part of the country this is. We took some time evaluating our world...

Yes Yes we had another challenge in Malaysia. It was amazing as usual and really joined forces with the locals to finish the tasks as soon as possible, and when I say locals I really mean locals.   As most of you know me an JohanB was blessed to travel back to Malaysia in order to help the local church community with some IT problems they are experiencing. It came at the right time since we had to be out of Thailand on the third of April and we receive the good news on the 31 st of March. This...

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...
