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...
"The land of smiles"
Thailand!! Wow it's an incredible place! Filled with beauties that only seeing in person can be understood! It definitely lives up to its phrase "the land of smiles" everyone here is just amazing. This country is special for me! We started in Bangkok...
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 ...

I made a video of my Sao Paulo, but have trouble uploading so you will need to wait a bit for that update. Sao Paulo Airport experience: The flight from Sao Paulo was very early and the airport far out of the city and this meant that we had to sleep the night in the airport. This was the teams first sleep in airport experience (but not the last). At about 2 am 2 guys from Chile ended up at our corner looking for help. Since Luiza in our team is from Brazil she offered her help and I went...
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...
15 February 2008 - Red Hill
We dared to face the accusations of many; serve the poor; listen to the broken hearted and wipe the tears of the widows. With broken hands and feet we have become builders of homes and builders of God’s Kingdom in Red Hill.
‘A refreshing yet bumpy experience of diabolical roads and lush green landscape’

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...
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...
Elephants, waterfalls, hilltribe, outdoors! Nothing can compare to be in and experience God's amazing work in Thailand!!

Let us start runnin' man! "Catch dem", "Keep goin' man", "fasta fasta"!! These were things I regularly heard being shouted to me by the Jamaicans in the streets when Erick, R.P and I went jogging some mornings!! As you can make your own conclusion, it meant that I was running behind them! =) My defence will be that I am not that bad, but that they are real good joggers! =) And hopefully I would be able to write a blog at the end of the year stating that I crossed the finish line with them every time! At first,...
