The Great Wall Ready, set, take off.......Many people asked me before leaving, am I ready, how do I feel, am I excited?? Waiting for 6 years or more, to enter the promise of China on a long term/full time basis and now becoming a reality. The answer was mixed. The familiar feeling of I'm leaving what I know and the people I know, to the unknown. The mixed feelings of excitement and I can't believe I'm doing this...the dream becoming a reality! That's where the step of faith comes in. We discover by experience and at first hand. And Him...

So, we arrived in Hong Kong, missing 6 hours of sleep! Tired but very exited! The landscape is very beautiful and everything is very clean! 6 Of our group went to a village nearby to paint some center and the rest stayed in Hong Kong. The public transport is good and we were so surprised when we arrived at Sing Mun Springs. It is nice and well organized. For you guys at home who know me will not be surprised that I already had my first shopping experience – NOT clothes, but food for breakfast and lunch for the...
We are currently serving at an orphanage in India. We are building into their lives by teaching. And this is a letter that one of my girls wrote on an assignment I gave them. Age 13 Too My Dearest Friend, Jesus, thank You for giving me this good wonderful day to send you a letter. I am so thankful to you. Jesus, why you are my light? Sometimes I can’t understand why you are my light? Now I understand when I read your Holy Scripture in John 8:12 and I come to know that, You are the light of my...

We are the Pathfinders We have spent the past two weeks passionately exploring, encountering and experiencing God's grace.... We started our journey with a challenge, J-bay 2 Joburg.....please see the Orange Team blog for more information on that :-) here after we made our way to Egypt. We have spent a week in Egypt, WHAT AN EYE-OPENER!! Cairo was an experience on its own...very dirty and chaotic. Then the Garbage City and the Garbage City Church was a highlight - this is exactly as the names states, a church built years ago in the dumps because the Christians were...
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...
Who am i? One of the many questions that haunt the youth of this age,but this is the wrong question.The real question is who am i in Christ,for in him is where my true identity is found... I am who i am because of who God is and because of how much He loves me and how good He is. Because of what He did for me and because of what he did my idenity is secure... I am a child of God, a princess of the most high, beloved daughter, forgiven one Redeemed by the blood of Christ,chosen,cleaned,apponited...
A ten day faith journey through Guatemala and Mexico. Our Lime team decided that we are going on this adventure totally dependent on God to provide for everything: food, accommodation, transportation etc. The journey began on Thursday 21 August in Panajachel, Guatemala. We got our first lift and our second and so on, we got money and God provided accommodation and a wonderful meal. We couldn't believe all the things God did - He is so amazing!! The next day we got to the border and were so eager to enter Mexico. But it didn't happen... First time at...
Waking up in the middle of the night after a bad dream, God lead me to pray. In my time praying I just experienced God wanting to do something different in the team, hitch-hiking. Here is what happend that had a BIG impact on me: As our time in Costa Rica came to an end, I felt God leading us as a team in n certain direction. I felt Him saying we should hitch-hike from Costa Rica to Guatemala and NOT to buy bus tickets (This was actually a blessing, because bus tickets would have been $130 per person). So...
