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...

Hidden World in The World
And just like that we were saying our good bye's and getting on a plane, watching South Africa disappear beneath us and bidding it farewell for the next 8 months. Hidden World is officially in the nations. It still seems unreal to us. 8 weeks ago we ...

Namaste from India. We've been working for almost a week in Emmanuel childrens home in Kota, India. We are restoring an old hostel/ home that has been neglected. It's taking a lot of sweat (42-48 degree climate) and early mornings ( 5'0 clock) and lots of strength. We LOVE what we are doing here but the biggest situation is just that we would like to treat the kids with a nice meal but don't have the funds to support our idea. We need R10 00o to give this children a nice meal with some chicken and maybe a treat. There...
First off I would like to give thanks to God for this massive privilege of being able to be part of this journey and have the opportunity to serve Him! It is purely out of His grace that I am here and through His grace that I have the opportunity see and experience a small part of the world and what it has to offer. Nothing can prepare you though for what you are about to undertake when you sign up. You get to Jeffrey's in January full of expectation and excitement about what the year has installed for...

Watch the LIME TEAM's latest video on our time with Mr. P, our host in Chiang Mai!
To describe the odours, visuals, sounds and tastes of India would keep me busy for the rest of my life, however when I am faced with the question, what did I feel in India, there are no words to describe.
Written by: Mari Jansen van Rensburg You always think "what if", what if I've taken that trip, what if I'd only said yes. At the beginning of Global Challenge I had the same question - but God didn't wait on me to be ready - He just came and did what I didn't think would be possible. He changed my life, inside out!!!! I grew up in a christian home and for that I am very grateful. But more than ever He is just revealing Himself to me in so many ways. I am going to share one...
Hello from HOT Malaysia. The team is well except for a few stomach aches. Please pray for my brothers.
It's Thursday, February 28, 2008, 13:00. The eggplant, nshima, kapentas and beans are in the pots. Slowly but surely our traditional Zambian lunch is coming togeter. Sitting round the brazier, comparing the way food is prepared in different countries, and, even though Reynard is still "bang vir die vissies!" we're wondering whether those in the neighbouring huts will have anything more than a piece of corn/
maize to eat today.
To say goodbye My bags are almost packed, yet there is no jet plane, no taxi waiting. Just a bit of adrenaline and a lot of prayer. Oh, and don't forget - emotions running high! Tonight it will start: Explore Africa! A few weeks of training gone in the blink of an eye and then our first stop: Egypt. Was our training sufficient? Who knows? What we do know is this: we trust in God, the provider. We go in obedience. We go to spread the word of Jesus' love, of His salvation. We implore...
