1”Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD! 2Sing to the LORD; praise His name. Each day proclaim the Good News that He saves. 3Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does.” Ps 96: 1-3 (NLT) Since our Hidden World team left SA in March, I am constantly aware of how privileged I am to do what I do, have what I have and go where I go. To think, it is all by His boundless grace over my life. I did not earn it. I...

 Malaysia team kicked off our ministry by getting our hands dirty. The 9 members of the Global challenge team that remained in Malaysia started working yesterday with the harvest centre.

Red means stop, green means go, but ORANGE means GO, GO, GO!!!

This is how the orange team kicked of 2008.  Bringing a fresh breeze as the first Orange team ever in the history of The Global Challenge, we are determined  to go into the world in a God-seeking life-style, sharing the Good News with the nations, going out to serve and love the people as followers of Chirst.

  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,...

                                      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...

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...

 

Can Cuba be summarised in words? Impossible! But with God all things are possible... He is impossibly possible! Here is a short summary of how each team member experienced Cuba and what God did in them while in Cuba:

Africa Africa... Imagine with me for a second, going to school and working really hard to overcome the poverty your family lives in. Working hard in school so that you can do something with your life and finally getting a good job on a plantation. As you stand there washing your clothes maybe thinking about how you finally made it out of the poverty, you see rebels with guns come out of no where and your friends run. They surround you and kidnap you, putting you in a truck. Your life is gone. You have no one and are being...
