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...

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 ...

Were to begin, where to begin...... Our time in Guatemala was spent on a few very different things and so much happened that I can not give a chronological exposition of our time there, but broke it into pieces, from the crazy to me (with me of course the least crazy :P ) Triking Triking, where to begin... The best description that I can give is that you take a bike; grind off the back end; weld a round steel bar to the back with a rod and two small wheels with no traction in it and try to fit...
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,...
At long last I am also writing something. Were to begin? We have traveled through the Middle East wıth mixed feelings. Egypt was a spiritual journey - one of realising how dark the world could be. The difference between Cairo and Anaphora-in the spirıtual world-was so tangible,it was frightning. In Dahab we had a good time ın teachings,but also swimming in the Red Sea and searchıng for Nemo. Did I mentioned the 11th plague that ıs still ın Egypt? FLIES!!!!! oh and for extra measure- cats and even more cats!!!! In Israel everything changed yet again-except for the fact that we,GCEX,managed...
3 weeks ago we found out that the Transkei needs some help, so we answered the call. To fund the various projects, we had 3 blikskud sessions in PE - in less than 5 hours, God blessed us with R35 000! So from the word go, we felt the Lord's hand of provision on us, in finances, material and tools. Our first week, we spent in Coffee Bay, serving at Coffee Bay Comprehensive Christian School. We painted classrooms & bathrooms; put in a new door; pulled straight a wooden classroom dubbed "Plankie" & put up a new sink roof over...
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...
I've recently felt lead to dive into the theme of mercy and to discover what it looks like. For in the passage of the Good Samaritan, a man is shown that his neighbor is the person who he has mercy on. The one that he helps physically, financially and emotionally after being beet up by robbers. God requires mercy and not sacrifice. Further on we learn about a master who forgives his debtor an enormous amount of money, whereafter he states "Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave even as I had mercy on you". It...
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...

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...
Alright so Malaysia was legit, it was nice to come from Phuket Thailand getting to the boarder, waiting In the long lines to get through and then taking a minibus all the way to our destination which was a ywam base in Penang on a street called love lane !. Just being there was a cool thing for me because I was seeing more and more everyday how the lord has not only changed the team but me. It's not only small things it's big things too, there's times when you get into an argument and then the two of...
