we walked up Mount Sanai walking up there was amazing. It took us three hours maybe more but the whole time wlking up there i kept thinking how did Moses ever do it, and what more was there that God wanted him to see or lose before He came into His precence. you lose the sence of time and really start asking God what you need to ask like : am I on the right path or am I seeking you like I should..? we are bound to each other by choice, but what choice are we bound to God...

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...

Not to mention the unforgetable drive into central PE location to claim and chase a chicken, Leo... Not only did we...
Tunisia We arrived in Tunisia at a very crucial point of the country's history. We arrived at the end of the Revolution, a time when people were celebrating their new freedom. We were welcomed by a very peaceful environment. We experienced great hospitality through the locals that we met in the relatively short time we spent there. I think that one of the biggest lessons in Tunisia, as it was our first foreign country, was that God is the only constant when all is stripped away. We found ourselves in great unfamiliarity and couldn't look to alternative...

The greatest day in
history, Death is beaten
You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive
The empty cross, The empty grave
Life eternal You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive
He's alive
So I'll summarize our 2-day journey as follows: On our "comment/notes"-tab on the Excel spreadsheet of this country, I'll write "Not Recommended." Full stop. Not recommended travelling through (especially!), not recommended going to (definately not!) en not recommended climbing into a taxi with the local taxi driver (eish...). All right, so there is something I'll recommend for this country: I recommend that you pray for it! Our journey consisted of an on-going 36hours through 3 different countries. We travelled in a short-seated minibus, over a river on a glorified canoe, 9 people in a 6-seater Peugot, Then 20 hours with...
We just arrived in a small village, far from any regular tourist attractions. While boarding the train we already felt it was different, when the train staff come to see if these foreigners have got onto the right train. We might have appeared a bit lost. The man behind me (next to Wayne) was very friendly and helpful. When we stepped onto the platform, I felt like a animal at the circus. Some people stopped and stared, others were cheering, while some others tried in their best english to greet us, "Welcome to Egypt!", "Where you from?"...
Whatever gave me the impression that Egypt would be a hot desert country ... gave me the wrong impression.

Wow India what a place! had a safe trip from South Africa through Hong Kong straight to New Deli... when i got off the plane i thought India was to be a hot and well smelly country... WRONG!!!! India is a beautiful place it has the most friendliest people here and the cheapest shops I have ever seen. It is not the cleanest city on earth but that does not bother me I just love it here! The spiritual warfare is strong here in India everywhere you go there are temples, shrines idol shops and everyone has their gods on...
