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...

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...

I've always wanted to scuba! I even once almost did a course, so snorkelling in the Red Sea is AMAZING! It's like being in Finding Nemo! ...except for the Darth Vader breathing sounds in your ears.   We've been talking about the having and being-mode and decided on lots of different metaphors (similes...whatever). I've decided that being mode is like snorkelling, I have to decide to put on the gear and go into the water, I sometimes have to swim, but other than that I can just float in God's care, love and providence. Wesley said that you have to...

We left Jeffrey’s bay to take our flight to JHB from P.E -- Our flight was delayed an hole hour and we left P.E at 7 pm, that meant we could miss our flight to Egypt because we needed to book in before 9 pm flight leaving at 21:45 we landed just minutes before 21:00 and the race was on to ''book in'', God stop time for us and all was booked in at 20:59. Take off. Clearly something did not want us to go --- But GOD had other plans -- praise the Lord When we got to Egypt our enemy...

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....

Normal 0 Somebody saw it fit to divide us into radnomly selected new teams and let us run around London unchained.   If you’re in your head going “why oh why?” feel free to say it out loud. This was my first reaction too! Our never ending journey to figure out whatever’s going on in our leaders’ heads experienced a set back and we’re back to square one! The London Challenge was different to say the least. Not a good or a bad different, just different…   Each of us was divided into a new team, except for the white...

Luke 10 testimony - Marco Ras, Hannes Roodt and Reinhardt Foley Location: Guatemala Luke 10:3-4 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. The night before we left on our Luke10 journeys we drew lots to separate the team into our Luke10 groups. We were the first team to be set out and it came down to us being an only guys team. So the next day me , Hannes and Marco left Guatemala City with the idea of heading East...

   I have just realized once again that God does not do things like we do it. God has His perfect time, His perfect ways. That my life, my being is not about me, but that it’s all about Jesus. Psalm 8:3-4 “ When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him and the son of man that you care for him.” I only live through His grace and by faith. I have realized that God’s plan for...
