The Journey has begun...

The Journey has begun...
                                      The Journey started with the team climbing Mount Sinai. As we followed the path of those in the bible we think and reflect on the things the people have experienced in those times. The journey to the top made you wonder where did God truly talk to Moses and where did he see God. We had the privilege to sleep one night on the top of the mountain and had some time to reflect on the words we read in the bible during the time Moses spend there. As we sat in the silence surrounded with the beauty...

Nepal, wonderful Nepal

  It does seem a bit strange to be able to say that a country is wonderful after just two days in the country, of witch the first day was filled with surprise $25 visa costs and bus trips, but the today, the second day was  so much better! We are staying here in Katman du for a couple of days until the 1st of June when we are flying to India, but today we had an amazing day in Nepal! We saw a mountain with a temple in the distance and decided to head for it! We tried to...

Wake up child it's your time to shine!

Wake up child it's your time to shine!
So  we were sitting on a rooftop in india singing the song THE ANTHEM. The words go something like this :  wake up child it's your time to shine, you were born for such a time as this.  I have been pondering on these words a lot and they carry so much significance. These words reall shook  me and I realised this is our time to shine. By shine I mean bringing God's light and living in His fullness. I was motivated more than ever to search my own life and to get rid of  anything that is withholding me...

Kenya debrief-Chillfam United.

Kenya debrief-Chillfam United.
    2 015-03-16     Our time in beautiful Zanzibar ended, and we were excited to merge with Hidden World and WYW again. After spending a very blessed night in Dar es Salaam, we got on the 06:00 bus to Kenya! "Some call it Africa, I call it home" , or so they say. My entire view of Africa changed. I am South-African, so Africa, beautiful Africa, had an immense impact on my heart and the way I saw things. After 13 hours of travelling, we got a taxi that took us to Kilifi. My seats window was broken,...

A Journey, A Destination & A Journey

Alright so Malaysia was legit, it was nice to come from Phuket Thailand getting to the boarder, waiting In the long lines to get through and then taking a minibus all the way to our destination which was a ywam base in Penang on a street called love lane !. Just being there was a cool thing for me because I was seeing more and more everyday how the lord has not only changed the team but me. It's not only small things it's big things too, there's times when you get into an argument and then the two of...

Malaysia.

  What a blissful time! And when we say bliss. We mean Holy Spirit FIRE!    Seven days, eleven willing hearts and multiple touched lives, ours included. We spent such a short time in Malaysia, so short we didn't even think it would be worth it. Boy were we wrong!  I don't quite have words to describe what happened here. So I'd rather share some short testimonies:  We served the homeless three times in the week we were here. That's not what impacted us so much though, it was going out and seeing familiar faces sitting on the street corner,...

Changing eternity

191.jpg

I don’t really know why but for some or other reason God wants us to pray for certain things or situations before He will engage in it.  God thought it good for us to be involved in His business. A typical fatherly attribute to get his sons involve in what he is doing, not really because he need their help but more because he wants to spend time with them and builds friendship with them.

Pink fingernails, butterflies and White Shoes :-)

Pink fingernails, butterflies and White Shoes :-)
Okay, so pink is definately my favourite colour...but pink fingernails = not exactly my style!!  Sapna, one of the lovely girls at the orphanage we visited in India, thought it wasn't such a bad idea & after painting the girls' room and washing our hands she continued with the painting...only on my nails this time :-) Since the moment I met her, I've learnt that she's crazy about butterflies, enjoys drawing and wears white shoes on Wednesdays only.  But more than this she's taught me a lot about love, friendship, discipline and smiling even though from the world's point of...
