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 ...

The idea was to bring them to church and pray for and with them, whether it be for healing, salvation or deliverance. We were sent out to find those who need Him and doesn’t know where...
We arrived in Delhi on the 8th of March, and we spent 3 days there. After doing some local shopping and exploring, we left for Kota.
Street Evangelism In my time I have spent in New Zealand, I have had a awesome opportunity to live with people who live out their passion for Christ in their everyday life. Finding an irreversible passion for Christ to be glorified in my life this year, it was brilliant to have their examples. I have found though, that sometimes they have a struggle and want to have more of the Holy Spirit and God’s presence in their everyday lives. God has given me this revelation in my time here. We have been involved in street evangelism for three Saturday’s in...

Words cannot describe our time in Cobrex, Brazil at Wesleyana Methodist Church. Our time there officially began back in Itatiaia, our previous ministry point 3 hours away. Pastor Marcos from Cobrex traveled all the way to Itatiaia for a half hour visit, just because he was so keen on having our team come to his church. Our whole team spent time in prayer at separate ministry points and we both felt the need to be separated again in Rio. So on we went, the yellow team to Wesleyana Church. We were told that some individuals in the church could...
"During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." - Acts 19:9 What would've been a fifteen day stay turned into a 27 day visit. This ultimately means we're skipping our Turkey leg of the journey. All for good reason because the Lord is in complete control. Although, at the moment we don't see in full we know God will reveal the reason of our extended stay to us soon. We, as a team realise God has a bigger plan and purpose for...
Written by Hector:
We have been in China for almost 2 weeks now and it is about time show you what is happening in China lately.
The latest event was a visit to the Great Wall which was really great as you can see on photo beside.
The previous two weeks we were kind of "Stepping on toes" as described by Sulene, so with Sulene's consent (I hope) I have added part of her email to explain more...
If Jesus became human today, would He come to the rich city suburbs, travelling abroad with the best airlines, claiming the priviledges He as God deserves? Or maybe He’ll be born into the Zambian village that don’t know where they’re gonna find food for the coming year, because their crops were destroyed in the floods; He might just take the overnight bus to Lusaka, not complaining when they take an hour’s detour to report an accident; maybe He’ll rejoice in waiting 3 hours for a taxi to depart, appreciating the delay as an opportunity to minister. Perhaps Jesus will trade His warm bed for Rustenburg’s taxirank and wake at 4:00 to listen to the stories of nightguards and drunks.
"We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to his purpose" - Romans 8:28 I defintely experienced that!! On the 23rd of december (2 weeks proir to when we had to depart) I decided and applied for Global Challenge. 28th of December I was accepted. 12 of January I arrived in Jefreys Bay. NOT KNOWING WHAT GLOBAL CHALLENGE REALLY WAS. Global challenge is a God-seeking enviroment, only for rhe glory of HIS name!! I found myself in Christ, in these past 4 weeks, still in a healing and...
