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 ...

To be a mom is not easy. NO I don't have children of my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I babysit, our new friends here in China, children. I just realize to be a mom is very hard work, but it is also fun. The parents went away for the weekend. We spent some time alone with the three children it was fun. Some other things that I learned during our time here: How do you forgive someone that hurt you? Do you forgive but always think back off it or do you want to do something back to that person? Think for a moment how God forgive us....

It has been a while since my journey and my last blog but felt that what God has done has been pressing on my heart to share, the last time i posted i was busy with training the 2012 students, so let retrace a few steps… I am currently living in the world renown surfing town of Jeffrey’s bay in a house in the ‘coloured community’ of Pellsrus with 3 incredible roomies: Brandon from America, Joy from Worcester and Cornelius from Zambia…I must say that the reactions I get from people when they hear where I live and who I...
We have been working for the last couple of weeks in a small town in Guatemala called – Panajachel. When I say work I mean building. I have learnt a few things and one of these many new talents is to lay bricks. Well a week a go I got the challenge- “lay 3 bricks” – quite easy when you think about it. And I was so eager to work I accepted the challenge immediately. Not knowing that a few people have tried to lay these 3 bricks and because of uneven foundation and so intense retries these 3 bricks...
Reality check!!! As this is a journey based on a God seeking lifestyle I firmly believe that this year isn't just a year', but part of an intergril season. A season in our lives where our attitudes are moulded, characters shaped and actions initiated according to God's will for each individual. So where does that leave me? SAME SUZI... BUT DIFFERENT :) But what God did reveal to me and what I would like to share is that of Romans 13... My choices (as God gives me free will) may not always lead to or be sinful- but they do...

The stories of my friends from East Africa have been soul-gripping and heart-wrenching. From Ethiopia through Kenya and Tanzania to Rwanda and forget not Uganda, I have been listening to my new friends tell tales of redemption and of hope for tomorrow. The good thing is that I have had time and opportunities to speak life-giving words into lives of many young people and the old alike. Classroom discussions, chats and lectures have had a profound touch in both my life and those that I have come in contact with in the past few months of my trip around East...
