Ok so all off you should know be now God is good. I you don't know this read all the Global blogs and go talk to a friend that does know this. The times where I prayed for people to get healed was awesome and even thou I don't understand all of it, God heals people. After a while I realized that the people that I prayed for all got healed from unseen pain. I don't know hat to think of it but I continued praying for every body. I asked God that I wanted to pray for people 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...

This being my second year on global challenge hitchhiking has become one of those skills that I might consider putting on a CV, I've been working in the hours and can honestly say that I love the adventure of putting out my thumb and expectantly waiting to see who will pick us up. My heart is filled with fond memories as I think back to drinking late afternoon coffee on a smallholding close to the border of Costa Rica - Panama, and then being stranded in nomansland on the same border a few hours later. Going at hair-raising speeds down...

Have you ever really thought about what being woman and Christian means?
And now I do not mean being a woman of Christ through pouring tea after church, baking & quot;malva pudding" for the church fare, attending your all women Bible Study or remembering the minister’s birthday.
No – I mean have you ever really read what the Bible says about being a woman in church and submitting to male authority?
Once upon a time, in a land far away there was 2 little boats, a blue one and a red one. They lived happily in a their little port, occasionally going on great big adventures in the big blue ocean. One day...
Update story: When I last updated I told that we are going to do some school camp thing from the Tuesday till Sunday, but there was a surprise for us. After a nice hike with our backpacks we got to a area in the road where there were a roadblock and the theme to Survivor playing, yip it was Survivor time. The first challenge divided us in team and got us point to bid on start-up camp site boxes and no backpacks or goodies allowed. After that we were taken to our spots in the middle of nowhere to make...
Israel .. It was so awesome to be in this place, really it was! It was crazy expensive but it is such a beautiful country. We saw so much and learnt quite a bit about the Jewish culture and about where Jesus was and all that stuff. We did gardening and went on small tours. I want to take this opportunity to apologize to my mother for me always being so lazy and not helping in the garden or around the house because I actually really enjoyed it! Sorry mom! I'm so grateful that I could grow closer to my...
Hi everyone! What an experience the last couple of days! These people have a very intimate relationship with God – it is all they’ve got! Their praise and worship is so powerful and filled with the Holy Spirit’s presence, yet very simple. It really feels like church and how it is suppose to be, like in the Bible! One of the duties that we as a group have to do is Gate duty from 11pm until 6 am at Sing Mun Springs. Me, Marna and Phillip had a great time. We shared, journal and walked 7 times around the...
