To say the last 2 ish weeks of training was interesting is as bit of an understatement. But training is done and I am getting the last of my things together since we are lifting of on Tuesday 5 March, so exciting times. "Short" ordered account Training went into the focus on the Holy Spirit with Oom Gerrie coming to visit us. I was excited and scared before we started since I always saw "radical" Holy Spirit experiences as a bit weird, but wanted to know more. Dr Gerrie van den Haas is a medical doctor, but is walking in...

Morocco welcomed us with a night at the airport where we had to sleep through the sound of hammers and chisels ceaselessly building away on a new part of the airport.    In Marrakech we stayed over for two nights. The vibrancy and colours of the markets overwhelmed and mesmerised. Rooftop views and coffees became a frequent enjoyment as well as prayer walks through the mazed streets. In the mornings we watched the sun rise over Marrakech and prayed together there.   Fes was our next destination, once we got there after a long bus ride we were graciously scammed...

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...

 A certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.  And fixing his eyes on him, with John and Peter said, "Look at us." So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.  Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you:  In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."  And...

On the door step of Stephan’s flat we stood uncertain and somewhat scared of what was coming! It was just like confirmation from God when we got blessed almost immediately after we started our Luke 10! I knew Burma was set on my heart but was it for the Luke 10? That was my question.Our travels were blessed so much that I knew we were on the right way. We were heading to Mae Sot a place where many Burmese refugees found a home or medical attention.  This was the place where we were heading!We came there with no money,...

So the new year started with a bit of uncertainty, i had and still have a clear call from God to stay involved with GCX for at least another year but the whole time there was a sense that maybe i wouldnt be able to...  Let me explain Last year when we were in china i got eye infection and because i have a history with my eyes the specialist didnt want to  give me "the green light" to be away from home again for such a long time.  Well i decided that i am going to trust God for...

Psalm 139:1-18 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. (2) You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. (3) You see me when I travel and rest at home. You know everything I do. (4) You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. (5) You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. (6) Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! (7) I can never escape...

So when you actually see the screen in front of you, all the revelations, wisdom, God has lent to you seems to transpire the words that flow through your mind. To try and put words to the Truths that God has shown me leaves me now with the feeling that I really should have written a blog long ago.  Thank You Lord, that that is the case. That you have done so much for me, have shown Yourself to me in so many ways, that explaining it leaves me without words. If you are reading this, and wondering: “Why did...

Jambo Mzungo (hello white man)   What an experience we have had in Kenya and Tanzania! Getting around in these parts of the world has been very exciting! One can go either by foot / boda (motorcycle) / matatu (minivan) / shuttle (bus) and the price is ALWAYS negotiable!!!! Once you are in your preferred budget-allowed mode of transport it gets very entertaining with all the people that you meet as well as the incredibly loud music and neon green blue and purple lights that comes as part of the package!! When going on a long 10hour bus ride you...

I always thought I had to do everything alone, but these last 12 days, I realised I can't!! I also realised, I never did anything alone, God was always there!! He is our protector, our guide, our comforter and our friend!!
