"Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade, To write the love of God above, Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Tho stretched from sky to sky... " For the love of God compels us... He jealously longs for the spirit He has caused to dwell in us... May we grasp the smallest portion of the depth of Christ's love for us, and may this compel us to take His healing to the nations...to...

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...

In a few hours time we'll be leaving to Jinka in the south of Ethiopia. A place where killing someone of the other tribe with a spear or an AK-47 is nothing out of the ordinary. It is a place where chiefs rule and there word is law. We are going to visit an orphanage where mingi children who were saved from the dead, are raised and looked after. To read more about mingi and the tribes near Jinka go to this website... >> www.drawnfromwater.org<<
Los Angelas and Hawaii: A God-thing, by Johannes Wagner We are privileged that the world ticket that we have takes us through some countries/places that wasn’t originally part of the set ministry countries: USA, Los Angeles was one of these. We had this great “intermission” period of two days in LA to just observe and off course this is the ultimate grounds for a CHALLENGE (adventure race)... We stayed in this really cool backpacker’s hotel, called “Adventurer” that has so much free stuff: Free breakfast, dinner, internet, airport shuttle service etc. When I found the place in...
Hey there again! The past time in Guatemala was difficult, fun and educational. Guatemala probably made the biggest impact on me of all the countries we visited so far. I learned so much from the pastor and the church. We visited many cities but stayed in Panajaechel. This is one of those times which felt so short because there was so much going on. (A view from the city Panjaechel where we were staying) Firstly I want to tell about the revival in the team. We have been working on our unity as a team so much this year but this revival...

This is what my leg looks like after some insect of some form or shape (in Zanzibar) launched a feeding frenzy on me 4 weeks ago. In a month's time the itching hasn't even stopped. Healing comes slowly in Africa...Ai.

Cambodia – Thailand – Hong Kong Hope – Springs Eternal, by Johannes Wagner The Bible teaches us that without VISION , hope for the future or revelation about the future, people perish ! (Prov 29>18). In Cambodia you can travel from one place of Phnom Penh, the capital city we stayed in and experience complete hopelessness and upon entering another area, feel Hope rise within you. It is really a metaphor of different areas of our lives... In one area of our lives, perhaps finances we feel hopeless, yet upon experiencing love in...
