        Isaiah 41:9-10 “…You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away; Fear not for I am with you; Be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”   If someone were to ask me how to explain in a couple of words what has gone on in the last month I wouldn’t be able to find those words. But let me just say that God is an amazing Father! God has an absolute perfect...

Macedonia What a magnificent place ! Macedonia is so wonderful, not only to the eye but also the colorful people ! It was such a surprise to go there and not to China! I was so excited for China but I actually got so much from this place (Macedonia) than I thought I would ! Just seeing the open space and snowy mountains and green landscape blew my mind ! I didn't think you could get such a beautiful picture without Google or photoshop. Being apart of the volunteers at the boarder was really special we get to mingle with...

Genesis 1:26-27 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. All of these faces depict God, because they are created in His Image!  

Our time in Guatemala was a month, but it felt like a week. With us being so busy with so many different things. A team from South Africa visit us for 2 weeks and it was good to have some goodies from home. Our daily program was team devotions in the mornings, then of to work and then end the day with teaching till midnight.  The physical labour was a lot of fun and I obviously learned a lot, but that is not the only thing I will take with me. The teachings and the truth revealed is what I...

Every time I think of those 10 days I can’t help but fall in love with the LORD all over again. I remember how HE spoiled us. How HE fulfilled our hearts desires. I remember my team mates and I sharing our expectations and how they were so beautifully met. Mine was to be in a fast car hahahahah and boy did I feel like I was part of the grand prix on our way to Antalya. I was happy, I was alive especially when our driver tried to take on a Porsche. The memories flood in, I remember those...

So our time in Kenya is coming to an end. . .Maasai land was awesome. Had a great time building a bush kitchen and a shed. Spending time with the Maasai people and learning their culture - how they do church was also a highlight. Some of us had the opportunity to preach and share our testimonies. We also bonded as a team and set the cornerstone for the year to come. Afterwards we travelled to Kilifi, Mombasa to debrief our experience of Kenya. Our time at Distant Reletives eco lodge and backpackers was really edifying. Thanks to the expedition...

Going to Turkey was different for many of us. Some enjoyed not knowing where to go, what to do or what God has planned for us there. We only knew that He wants us to serve but the question was who first. The first guess was the refugees. Makes sense…they need help… we are here to serve… so we aimed for them, but it was like shooting a moving target in the dark. We heard so many rumours about where they are or should be but arriving only to see a lack of people to serve… Praying to God for...
