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...

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,...
hey hey its been such a while, but God has been taking us an awesome ride.... well where do i start..... leaving Thailand for me was extremely difficult because in the beginning of our time in Thailand i was not mentally or emtionally preapared yet but i prayed and really pressed into prayer and i asked God to come and show me His love for the Thai people and i asked what was the reason that i was in Thailand and where or how should i help out... so the first evening we where in a team meeting and Sally said that...
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...

WOW! What a crazy few months it has been filled with tons of laughter and adventure, frustrations and prayer, long bus trips and
flights to very interesting places, and as usual God has blown us away with His awesomeness. Here is a little glimpse into the madness.
Isaiah 44:8 “Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago? You are my witnesses, is there any other God? No! There is no other Rock – not one.” I got this beautiful verse while watching the sunrise of the first day of 2012 in Kleinmond, my hearts point. My mom and I sat on a rock right next to the ocean, on a spot that would seem scary if you see how big the waves are that crash against the rocks. But there is a rocky ridge about 20m into the...
There are few things more enjoyable than getting to a bus stop in a new city, after many hours of travelling, and being greeted by a familiar friendly face... And so our stay in Yogyakarta started with our global friend, Annami, and her posy of scooters fetching us one by one from the bus station. Mental picture time: Imagine five scooters rocking up and lifting us five girls with 2-3 day bags each and weaving through the traffic filled city streets, to drop us at an unknown location, then departing without a word to fetch our friends and our...
Indonesia_ Bali is filled with an indefinite number of statues everywhere, so many gods, so many burning essence sticks, so many little plates with offerings, so many temples, so many lost souls. Isn't it easy for me now to just quote the Bible, judging them for all these man-made, dark-side inspired idols. I Find myself sitting in a taxi staring out the window trying not to make eye contact with all these immense statues dominating the place. The bags all around me limits my movement so all I did was pondering on the beliefs of the world. It came to...
