6h15       – Grudgingly wake up. 6h25       - Get out of bed and go on Pokémon  Go inspired morning run (and ironically hatched and Slowpoke, I think my phone is trying to tell me something). 7h00       - Make a quick breakfast and the more important coffee, back into bed, quite time. 7h40       - Get out of bed again, into work clothes, bathroom break, onto bicycle and of to the building site I go. 8h15       - Start work, painting wall what can only be described as Hulk green. I like painting. 10h30    - Coffee break. 11h00...

r The start of a life-changing experience! The race has started! Meet the crazy, excited, no-clue-what-in-the-world-is-happening
RED TEAM.

Waiting for our bus on the pavement in Beijing, Hattingh took out his guitar and we started to sing. Soon we were attracting a crowd with our singing. My eye caught a young guy to the right of the crowd – he looked shy and uncertain, his face puzzled.

In considering in partaking in this amazing year I knew that my30th birthday would not be shared with my immediate and close family. A bit of a con on the pro´s and con´s list I know.  And it is just a birthday. Still, the child in all of us do enjoy birthdays. And maybe 30 is a bit more special (and scary) than say turning 29.  But God will not take us where even in an special event like this He will not provide. So my new family of 17 came through in an amazing way. The actual day was...

Hey to everyone and to all out there. My weeks here at J bay have been such an amazing experience and still is. just got back from Global Survivore and wow it was something that I will never forget. had to camp and build my own shelter with my group i was with, had to fight for food and well came last most of the time hahaha but it was a time that we could build into each others lives.Getting ready for a trip to the Trans sky to help build a school water tank fence, garden and much more...

Hey everyone out there! we are doing great here back in J Bay had an amazing camp with other young people from around South Africa like for example 13TH Floor they were amazing guys to have met and spent time worshiping and praising God with. thought I was going to have a rest after that camp, Dont think so because I am right now helping in another camp of grade 7s and it is amazing what God is doing in their lives and in showing things in my life too. We have got two more weeks of training left and...

I am so thankful for:  African time; it is better than Turkish time, free public toilets, the SPCA, understanding Afrikaans, 'n lekker Braai, wearing shoes in the house, western toilets, Yum Yums double crunch peanut butter, google translater, an open window in a truck with a smoker driver for 7 hours, not having my pasta taken and hidden away by my team, not waking up to the sound of ziplock packets opening, not being called the spice girls or Charlie's angels by every merchant in the market but above all, I am so thankful for these things because they have...

Boom! Woke up at 00:00 am 13 April Wednesday, first 9 hour sleep I have had in a long time! So now I have time until I go get my emergency sertificate ... oh, the lady at the embassy WatsApped me to say it is ready. Quess like I am coming home! So after a while I read Living Water, and this constant seeking of hope just after Jesus gave me full hope and preace must stop! I have become soft and complain to fast when I feel like the precence of God is not with me, but little do...

What a place to be! I love Tibet!
I was standing at a budhist tempel gate this afternoon, looking at them crawling on their stomachs for budda (as part of a prayer ritual). My heart goes out to these people, if they could only know the truth.
Next to me in the internet cafe is a lady singing like an angel, so beautiful. I can't help thinking how beautiful she can sound if she was singing worship songs to the Lord.

Facebook is illegal in China so I am just letting you know how things are going through this short blog

WYW is having a great time and learning to much. We are looking forward to go home, I cannot wait to see the other teams and hear what God has done in their lives. But the year is not over jet so we will make the most of what we have left. To anyone thinking of doing Global in 2013, It is amazing and if God sends you on a journey, is it going to be one amazing experience.
