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...

I don't have any words to describe my feelings. I'm so overwhelmed. First I was afraid and didn't know what to expect in Laos, but it turned out pretty good. This two weeks was a journey of patience for me. I spend some time with God to find out what His heart is for me. Then He came and show me that He is going to give me more and more challenges in life and on my journey and that will be the challenges that's going to make me grow closer to Him ! I had some challenges and with...
India is not just a new country but a whole new experience. Even the sounds of India is something unique. You definitely know that you are in the most populated country in the world. When we landed in Delhi a month ago I realised this is going to be special. They were not joking when they said that India is one of the hottest countries, specially in May when it is the hottest month of the year. And to be cultural sensitive long trousers is the way to go in India. BUT, and I believe it is God's favor to...
23 November 2008 Flight from Johannesburg to Egypt 24 November 2008 Spent a day in Egypt - what a day it was. Johannesburg traffic is nothing compared to Cairo traffic. In South Africa we have 3 lanes but in Cairo they have 5 and to make it even worse they just ignore the white and yellow lines. All the cars are scratch and bumped but still they don't have road rage - what a good quality. You can pay me R1000 000 and I won't drive there. There is no traffic lights or stop signs. You literaly have to hold your breath...
The Hidden World team.
I am proud to introduce to you the team that accepted
the challenge to discover and spread the gospel of the Kingdom to the hidden worlds of South and Central America.
The people of BiH (Bosnia Herzegovina) say they have no lyrics to accompany the instrumental of their national anthem but I suggest they consider the title of this blog as it best echoes the healthy and appropriate season of rest and relaxation that is currently found in this nation. BiH oozes with the sweetness of irony. Prior to our arrival we had heard about the country’s tragic and recent history. It was hard to understand that what we heard was just that....history. We therefore arrived in BiH expecting a dull, gloomy, poor and war struck nation. To our surprise and...
Part 1: IsraelGod has done amazing things in Israel. We arrived on 15 September and will stay until 8 October. I had this desire to arrive in Israel, feeling like a little girl who knows that her father has a lot in mind for her. He wants to spoil her and love her with all He has. As we arrived we did not know what or budget are or even where we are going not even to speak about what we are going to do during our stay. We knew that Israel is a really expensive country therefore we thought we...

We are in Hong Kong! After a 12 hour flight, we have safely arrived in Hong Kong, pretty tired and worn out. For those of you who are curious we are now 14 hours ahead of Texas time; put that on a post it note to remind yourself. Unfortunately on the flight there was no turkey, stuffing, or green bean cassorole like Kim and I had prayed for.
When I was younger (in the time of Aladin & Sinbad
stories) I also thought about the wishes I would make if I had a genie in a lamp. After much thought I decided that if I had only one wish in the world, I would like to make the world a better place to live in. The only way I could think of to accomplish that, was to wish for everyone in the world to be Christians.
