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...

Hidden World in The World
And just like that we were saying our good bye's and getting on a plane, watching South Africa disappear beneath us and bidding it farewell for the next 8 months. Hidden World is officially in the nations. It still seems unreal to us. 8 weeks ago we ...

It's almost unbelievable to think that a month could pass so quickly, and what an amazing experience it has been! From blikskud in PE to traveling with a luxurious bus to Transkei, we realised the beauty in Transkei realy lies in its simplicity. The simple life of the Transkei brought us back to earth and taught us what
true humility is all about.
Ever wondered how God would take HIS coffee, like how many sugars, how much milk etc.? I mean a cup of coffee a day keeps the doctor away right? Right or maybe HE doesn’t drink coffee at all uhmmmm? Of lately I’ve found myself wondering about this. I mean being around coffee lovers I have learnt that coffee sets a good tone for the day, it blesses people and so I wanted to bless God. I’ve wanted to make coffee for people in the way I like it but I realised that not everyone likes 3 sugars, a litre of...
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,...
So this is the last country of our journey. In a sense the last stretch home. We have experienced a lot up until now and it is with mixed emotions we approach the finish line. Some of us are sad that our travels are coming to an end mixed with excitement of seeing our homeland again. Some of us are excited at the prospect of wearing new outfits. And then there are those who are excited about the full farmhouse breakfast awaiting us in Johannesburg...eggs sunny side up, no toast, lots of bacon, and a good cup of coffee. Paraguay...
Israel has been a life changing country for me. The first week when we hiked the Gospel trail along the Sea of Galilee, I had a few moments where I felt so down, discouraged and afflicted. Experiencing Israel in that way by roughing it up and camping wherever we ended up and cooking on our own gas stove was a challenge, but something I will never regret. I experienced God in such a humble and down to earth way. God stripped me of everything I was still relying on, like associating comfort, security and peace with my environment and circumstances....
When I think of India, I think of poverty, a sense of hopelessness and a nation in desperate need of a savior. These where some of the things I firs noticed when I entered the country. That was all I saw until we arrived at the orphanage. The children welcomed us with warm smiles and lots of love! We staid with them for 2 weeks, giving and receiving love while painting their school. I was amazed at the amount of faith the children had and how they didn’t let their circumstance hinder their relationship with Christ. I got a glimpse...
