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...

After spending the night in the unknown small town we squeezed into another uncomfortable taxi and travelled to the closest big town of Bamenda. There we had to wait a full day at the bus station before we could catch the night bus to Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon. Yaounde was only 373km away, and the road seemed ok, but it took most of the night to get there. By now the team was increasingly tired and our patience started to run thin. When we were surrounded by a few drunk men on the bus who ended up sleeping all...

NEPAL, Katmandu, this is the ground on which we start our journey and what a journey it is going too be!  First there are some things you should know about Nepal. There is the occasional power cut, pigeons flood the rails of rooftops,smog covers the foothills and hides the mountains from sight, the pollution a causes some locals to wear masks and prayer points and stone idols are spread  amist the dirty, the strike is over and the streets come alive with cars , motorbikes, bicycles and people. Oh the people the wonderful, beautiful people of Nepal. I think I...

Our last days in India ... God blessed us with a time of rest. Time to be in His presence and to rest in Him.  Nainital is a beautiful town in the mountainside , in the north of India . A lake that is satiated in the valley.  We had prayer walks around the lake and revelations from Gods word.

It’s a warm and sunny Sunday morning as Bernard and Freddy embark on a journey where the living God became even truer in our lives. A journey which will be part of our lives forever. Before we went on our Luke 10 journey, God gave me a promise in 1 Kings 17:14 which says:” For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: There will always be flour and olive oil left in your containers until the time  when the Lord sends rain and the crops grow again!”

I was sitting on the beach, on the last Sunday before we would head back to Tanzania to fly home after 8 months in Africa when it dawned on me. I have made it. Wow, by Gods grace I have really made it. Me and my team have traveled all the way through North, West and East Africa, through 13 countries to our current destination in Pemba Mozambique and we can say we have made it.   For some of you this might not sound like much but for me it truly is a great work of God. Seeing that...

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...

Hello everyone!       I wanted to touch base and keep you up to date with the exciting things that are happening here in South Africa! I know that it has been a while since you have heard from me, but I promise you I have not slowed down since I got here almost a month ago now.         Looking back over the last month, we have been able to accomplish a lot. I, along with 14 other team members and 3 other teams from our organization have been doing local mission projects in the Jeffreys Bay area. From building...

Rainforests, a magnificant waterfall, humid weather, smiling village children and people with a passion for His Kingdom...that is how I would describe Malaysia in a nutshell...
