Today was our first day of wandering around in Cairo, and it was awesome! We whent to see the pyramids, experienced the markets and we are planning on going for a boat cruise on the nile tonight, and all this with less than R100! Not going into the pyramids though, but we could get to within about 200m of the pyramids.  We arived in Cairo yesterday, but before that we where spoiled at a desert retreat! It was amazing and the friendly people there treated us like family with large home cooked meals! With our departure in South Africa we...

  A Month of blessings We are currently in Senegal, Dakar with Explore Africa  and I want to share the month of blessings behind us. While on Mount Sinai I prayed that God will reveal himself in a big way to myself just as he did to the Israelites during the exodus of Egypt. I prayed that he will open the red sea, give us water from a rock, be a cloud of fire of warmth during the night, guide us during the day and feed us with manna and meat. And thats what he did on our travels to Dakar....

The Global Challenge scavenger is a very unique creature. Without a bashful cell in its body, it can often be sighted at various fast food locations across the globe. Being well trained in adaptation and survival, this scavenger can blend in effortlessly. With heightened observational skills, it can quickly scan a room and determine the statistical probability of success. Having no pressing obligations and often time in abundance while waiting for a flight, this patient creature can linger as long as it takes to ensure satisfaction.  Often the experienced scavengers (dubbed the scavenge king or queen) would adopt an apprentice...

Yes the trip has finished. A month ago I got lost in the streest of Jerusalem, gave in English lessons in Cambodia and played cricket in India...It feels like a lifetime ago. How quickly one falls back into routine, suddenly to spend an hour with the Lord is so much effort,  you struggle to keep focused on your purpose in life...and you slip. You even forget about the times you had, the profound revelations He showed you and the promises you made... This past month has ben hard. Not because of the people in my life, but because for an instant...

Hi All After a long time that I have not writen a blog I am back and ready for the new "adventures" that God has placed before me. We are currently in South-America in Bolivia and is planning to go to Peru. We are on our Luke 10 journey but we have descided that we will approach this journey a bit differently that what we set out to do. We have descided to sit down and submit to God and listen what he has to say to us before we just go and do things. We set out from Sao Paulo in...

And we’re back!  There is a buzz of excitement in the camp as everyone is once again reunited after the Luke 10 journeys.  Please note that we won’t be giving much feedback on the journeys now, but extensive feedback-blogs will follow in the days to come.  Everyone is on such a spiritual high after experiencing God 1st hand for more than a week.  Not that we do not experience Him during other times, but as you can imagine, relying on God for everything you need takes a huge amount of faith and it keeps on growing.  Those of you who...

The final stretch of the 2011 Work Your Way journey took place in Egypt and Israel. Personally Cairo had a tendency to remind me a bit of India. Dry, hot, a lot of poverty, dirty, people trying to constantly sell something to you, bad odors floating around in the atmosphere every here and there etc etc. But still through all that there was a love and compassion for the people which is hard to explain. Especially when thinking that in the very same areas we were walking 25 Coptic Christians were killed just days after we left. I can't help...

Wow!  A lot of hard work, a lot of info.  Not enough sleep and almost enough food!  Wow!  Yes, I'm on Global Challenge and going into Africa for a year.  So this should be considered a pretty good start. You are invited to join us on this journey.  What we ask is that you pray for us.  That you pray for our support team.  Pray for our families staying behind.  Most of all, pray for the people we are reaching out to.  So the Holy Spirit may open their hearts to the wonderful message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Rice,rice and more rice...rice can be nice but rice with fish in Malaysia is something else,hehe, the boys got beaten by eating too much of the funny food and was man down for 2 days!!  But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!  We are visiting few migrant workers is really terrifying to hear their stories and how their lives were changed while living in Malaysia.  We heard that some of the children need to sell rice for money and the water that they use to dip the rice in is the only water they got, to drink, imagine the taste...
