I had a great time to see the city too, Budapest is an amazing city and I cant wait to see what else God has instore to show me. the parents...

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...

Where to even start?! The past couple of weeks have been filled with my favorite moments of Brazil. Not only has there been a lot of fun involved in this experience of discovering a new place, people, and culture, but I have seen God move in my heart and in the hearts of those around me in our time here in Ubatuba.

God amazes me almost everyday even when I doubt him. He gave me my dream job working as a doctor at Zithulele, a rural hospital near Mthatha, for about 2 years. I absolutely loved the opportunity to serve my community and support my family which is very important to me. Then at the end of 2016 I felt God calling me to travel with Global Challenge Expeditions for the whole of 2017. I struggled with this because it was against all the plans I had made for myself. I planned to move to Port elizabeth to specialise and settle down....

More on Zinder and Tanout A reply from a friend on a last news letter encouraged me to write again. I am so far behind with my update it will be hard to catch up. Our next visit in the district was to a village called Guiduigir about 100 km east of Zinder. We showed the J_sus film at the market square. A large crowed gathered and the people listen intently, we also had a amplifier and the sound traveled far and clear above the generator noise. People sat in front of their houses and shops far away, the projector...

A while in the making….
Facing the last day of an unforgettable journey in Guatemala... A book can be written about God-appointments, memories, divine relationships and everlasting friendships inspired by the centre of God's heart.. Four years ago, I heard the testimony of a man in Guatemala who not only sold his soul to Satan, but who hated God in such an extent that His salvation prayer ended up to be a proclamation of cursing God, laughing at Him and trying to destroy the very person that God breathed his father breath into. He got showered with God's love and delivered by His mercy. ...
