One of those incredibly cheesy grins you can’t wipe even if you should try. As I tumbled into dreamland I was reminded of that day Reynard and I had in China and how happy I went to bed that then. I realised that the warm fussy feeling called “happiness” is something I...

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...
"The land of smiles"
Thailand!! Wow it's an incredible place! Filled with beauties that only seeing in person can be understood! It definitely lives up to its phrase "the land of smiles" everyone here is just amazing. This country is special for me! We started in Bangkok...
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 ...

I can't believe that it's only been 3 weeks!! There has been so much going on, and God has been moving in such an awesome way! We started out 3 weeks back at the caravan camp site and got to know each other better as a group, then we moved to the ucsa camp site and did lots of hard labour, which came in handy the next week when we went to the bush for survivor. We've made gardens, helped at a school, worked in the community and so many things! All I can say is watch this space. ....
Hi all! Or should I say, Aloha!! Hope all of you had a blessed Christmas time with family and friends! We started our Christmas Day watching the sunrise on a beautiful beach! It was stunning! Hawaii is really beautiful, and for those of you who didn't know, LOST and JURASSSIC PARK was shot here! So imagine! Our time here so far has been one of rest and de-briefing India, and so far it has only been blessed! We are camping at the YWCA camp ground, right in front of the sea!! The local people think we are insane because we...
I'm going 2 write this entry in english so all my new friends can also read what I say/blog. I came on global challenge with the expectation of not having time to grasp the things that are around me but in the last two days i realised God really wants me to see the perfection of His creation. i apperciate every second that i have spent under the water and cant wait to see what i can find every day when i snorkel. i realised God really wants me to apperciate all His Great works and creations. including the small...
Cambodia. At first when you think of Cambodia, you would probably think of the horrific things that have happened here in the past. When I first realized that I was coming here, I thought the same thing. Now that I am here, I don’t think of that at all.
Leaving Bamako we were faced with two options: one, take the bus directly to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso or two, travel to the north of Mali and visit the famous Timbuktu before entering Burkina Faso from the north. Easy choice! One would probably say. Timbuktu is a no- brainer, many people would love to see Timbuktu and never even get that close. In retrospect I often wonder whether we shouldn’t have done that but a few key factors had made us choose going straight to Ouaga instead. The first factor was that we were by now heavily cash...
Kenia fue el primer país al que arribamos durante nuestro East Africa Tour - LiveYourWay. En este país , las primeras personas que nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos fueron los integrantes de la comunidad Masai . Esta es una comunidad afincada desde hace mucho tiempo en las altas montañas de Narok. Conocer su cultura y costumbres marcó mi corazón y me dió una nueva perspectiva acerca de las misiones interculturales. Es reconfortante saber que existen personas con un llamado misionero especial trabajando en la evangelización de esta comunidad además de buscar su integración a la sociedad actual. Kenya was...
After a 14 hour flight we have arrived in Hong Kong!
By: Elizma
This past month in Thailand has been an indescribable blessing to me! Except for all the WONDERFUL people, food and assignments we had, it's been a real special time of experiencing God's presence and learning at my Father's feet!
