Name: Debre é Kluge Age: 25 Religion: Christian Weight: NEED TO KNOW ONLY Time at agency: 4½ years Mission : Fighting the enemy, being a bearer of good news, making sure my co-super secret spies’ armour are A-OK (they check mine too on a regular basis – standard procedure) Report from the field: Since departing from SA 5 months ago, the enemy has been on the move. We have seen him deceive multitudes in China, Malaysia, Thailand and India. But hope remains. Our Commander-in-Chief has been with us personally since day one, providing our strategies, strength, and in every physical...

  For us as orange team this was a pretty hard time since half of as stayed in Thailand and the rest of us went to Malaysia. I can however say that joining up again was great and we instantly started to share stories and felt back at home. We surprised the girls with some orange juice, balloons and yes chocolates.   We also made food for the south bound and it was a great success. We decided as south bound to do this so we can save on expenses and as we found out on time as well. It also...

I don’t believe in sin

A famous singer once sang about a poor boy who was empty as a pocket with nothing to lose. I believe I saw people, while serving in a refugee camp on the Macedonia-Serbia border during the last weeks of May, who were empty as a pocket emotionally. On the surface there was a strong, good face but the deeper that you reach into that pocket the more empty you find it to be.    Deep hopelessness - sitting on the border in a camp with all you need to survive physically - food, water, clothes, a place to rest your...

  So, without further due... here is what happened on the rest of the Yellow team's challenge... as we promised! After putting up our previous blog, we left Kuala Lumpur at 24:00 that morning, on our way to the Thailand border, still on mission: get to Phuket and pitch our tents on Nai Yang beach. We travelled there 7 hours and crossed the border at 07:00 without any delays. First stop in thailand was Hat Yai,  a town aproximately 10km from the border post. Wewere very excited to finally be home 9well not quite yet) to our home for the next...

After a long time of no blogs from my side, one is finally going up again! Today is our last day in Panajachel. Tomorrow we embark on our Luke 10 journey from here in Guatemala to go and see if we can reach Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica with no funds. After a lot that has happend in my life I decided not to write a blog about Croatia simply because I could not put it into words! It was wonderful, yet horrible. It was so good for me, but it took so much from my side. It was one...

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...

I cannot believe the time is already so near for us to get going! I was reading the other day in Matt 21:22!  WoW!  "If you believe, you wil receive everything that you ask in prayer."   Makes me think... We should then be very careful about what we ask, and also very specific! Imagine, I ask for God to help me to be the change in the world.  Then when He says go, I can't ask "Why?"...  But be more specific about where and how and the 'when'  is just as important.  So come on guys, have a relationship with...

Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE n Still tired from 2 nights in Kuala Lumpur airport and missing home after a few days visiting my parents, I arrived in China. I was pleased to get off that Air Asia plane, as the lady next to me was not at all feeling well, if you know what I mean…. We all get through customs and into the Tianjin airport. As a part of the travel arranging team a few of us head out to find the way to the train station, a seemingly easy task until you are confronted...

Tomorrow evening, we will land in South Africa. As I reflect on this last month in India, I realise Work Your Way 2015 is ready to go home. Ready for the next journey that awaits us.   Its been a great year. A journey full of lessons learned, adventures, fun and difficult times? Our expectations have been met in more ways than one could imagine.   The first week in India we spent in New Delhi, while we waited for another Global team (Nortbound) to arrive. Together we went to an Orphanage in Kota, South of New Delhi.   It...
