With boxes and boxes of hundreds of Spanish bibles being released to the masses in the space of 1 week, the question remains as to where to distribute them most effectively. And so it is here in Chiclayo, Peru that the word of God is literally being dropped into the hands of school children, youth, teachers, medical professionals and adult passerby’s. What an amazing mission! 

Super Rugby, World Cup Cricket, Super Rugby, World Cup Cricket?  In the midst of my excitement and inability to choose, it struck me that if we have arrived at this wonderful weekend, then training for GCEX 2011 is 5 weeks old which leaves us with only 2 more before we embark on another life changing journey.  It is then also time to give you my first update for this year. The work Your way team are made up of a bunch of young men from all over South Africa this year.  Most have just finished school and I have the...

"Just keep your eyes on the horizon," was the advice I followed on the 3 hour ferry trip to Zanzibar. The boat kept on launching itself over big waves, tilting dangerously from side to side. Inside me my stomach was doing the same tilting and sloshing against the sides. It wasn't very pleasant to say the least. Today, after 11 days on the Island, I'm back in Dar Es Salaam after surviving another grueling ride. This time I kept my eyes on the TV in front of me and Jason Bourne whacking a few bad guys around.   But what...

 Hallo and happy new year to all you beautiful people!   My time in Hawaii was one of the most amazing weeks of my life.   I had the privilege to experience the Lord’s provision in the most wonderful ways I could ever imagine.   From the moment we sat foot on the island we could start to see the Lord’s provision.    Me and a friend of mine, Nicholas, decided to go to Waikiki for New Years Eve to go and experience the fireworks.   We saw an incredible firework show and at 01:00 that morning we wanted to...

The whole GCEX 2010 Group - yes that's me at the back with the red T SHirt and golf hat

After reading Joshua 5:14 today, I yet again saw how a powerful man of God would fall down on the ground out of reverence and not even before God, but the commander of His armies.  Would you, would I do this when face to face with what seems to be an ordinary man?  Would we if we saw God?  Would we even recognize Him? We have so much pride instilled in us by our society and way of living that if put in Joshua’s shoes, we would most likely have told the guy to make himself useful or hit the...

Some of you might not know this about me, but my father passed away about 8 months ago, And although he was a GREAT man and i loved him very very much, his fathering skills sometimes lacked here and there, to say the least, which left me at the bottom of the mountain - longing for the love that makes you shout it from the mountain tops, but lacking the love that gets you there.    Throughout my life i had never met the Father, never allowed myself to see Him as a loving, caring, devoted Father, because of the...

The passion and intensity of the first generation Christians that we have met will always stay with me.

“Jesus asked him a third time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me?' Peter felt sad because Jesus had asked him a third time, 'Do you love me?' So Peter said to him, 'Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.' Jesus told him, 'Feed my sheep.” (John 21:17 GW) It felt the same way when I was in West Africa just a little while ago. The Lord speaks in so many ways to us we should just know His voice and pay attention to listen carefully. I mean, if I was in Peter's place, I would...

Hey guys, thought I'd drop you a line before I go watch the Brumbies play!!   What a life changing week!!!  I knew it was going to be a lot of work, but it wasn't even that, it was just so intense.  We had a prophet from Scotland, Jo Ewan, to come and teach us on the gifts of the holy spirit and also prophesy over us.  I am a new man! Although I have had some teachings on the gifts of the spirit, I haven't had it in so much depth and detail before.  The truths that were revealed...
