The past month I have been asked the same question over and over again: " What's happening next? " I would shrug my shoulders and say: " I don’t know yet, I’ll probably know when the “next” comes . ”  Well the “next” came. God said “Go!” And so I’ll go. But in the midst of this I pondered on what it means to go. Does it truly always mean a state of moving or going somewhere or does it have some hidden meaning we’re not seeing. The dictionary defines it this way: ‘ Go is to move from one place...

"I came that you may have life, and that in abundance."   31 days, 28 travel-buddies, 3 countries, 1 awesome God! I was given one month of life, the source of it and what makes it a gift. The past month in Africa was one of adventure, prayer, learning, changing. And rain. Lots and lots of rain! Both physically and spiritually, drencing me in God's love and leaving me soaked and rinsed from the grime that unnoticingly covers our hearts over time, to reveal a changed, unrecognisable new person.   As the drops fell from the sky in Maasai land...

Public places are the best places...

Are you willing to give it all? No matter what you may see or where you may walk. Though you may stare into the eyes of demons and monsters, will you still be able to worship His name? How deep is your love for Him.   Today I saw a man. A man who was barely able to walk because he was ridden with sickness. As I watched him I was able to clearly make out where one bone starts and another ends. Today I looked into the eyes of death.   You do not know how a heart can...

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:16

If we confess our sins he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

I knew there was something about this country that drew me to it the moment we received our itineraries in the beginning of the year. 

  Hey everyone   We are currently in Morocco and I must admit that it is awesome.  The people here are great and the weather cannot be better.   Our first few days were spent in Fes, right inside the old city.  We stayed at some of the South Africans living there and got to see such a lot of the place.  One of the workers in Fes took us prayer walking on Friday and in the process we were invited by some of the locals for Sunday lunch.   Sunday lunch was one of the most memorable lunches ever.  Not...

Can life get any better? Athletics, R25 000 in one day of blikskud and WYW got their UK visas. It was just great, epic and mid blowing. We have over R30 000 in total to die Transkei project. It help a lot. Thanks to everyone that donated. God blessed the blikskud so much. This is a new GCEX record. GO 2012!! It was so fun to blikskud. It was my first time and I didn't want to leave the street. If you are from PE, we were the crazy people dancing in clown suites in traffic. The best thing about...

  Take a deep breath of Kenya, and your senses highten. The people are a integrated part of this land, constantly busy day and night. The arrival in Maasailand was truly breathtaking... In isolation we where able to appreciate the full measure of the creation. Even with the wildest expectation of what the Maasai would be like, we were still amazed. We arrived at night after induring the taxi for 160km from Narok at a village with the name of Olkoroi between the Maasai Mara and Kilimanjaro. The near death experience of getting to Maasailand was an expedition on its...
