So this is a blog that God put on my heart to write, but for a while I didn't want to write it. But you know God he always gets his way and anyway who are we to argue. So this journey started in a small town in India called Nainital. Every afternoon we went on our own and then we would talk to God but we go into the town to do it because we pray over the people of the town. So that day it was just a emotional draining day for me and it was really hard, so...

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...

My journey is to walk with God and to hear His voice everyday. He knows what's in my willing heart. The Holy Spirit is a part of God that comforts, guides and leads me through my journey. As God fills you from the inside you change and will never be the same person again. So where do I start to describe how great the Lord is. I have already seen and learned so much these past few weeks. Doing self investigation and learning so many things through God's work, in my own life, and through others around me. I can't...

The meaning of the word: CHILD
Ever read a well known verse in the Bible, and realized that although you know this verse well, you never before stopped at the verse to let it really have an impact your life? You then also realize that you have never really understood the verse. It is usually at that moment that you and God set offon a new journey of discovery and revelation.
Matt 18:3 “...unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (NIV)
Gautemala....
When I think back I remember all the colours and the atmophere and how God is busy there, working through different people. We started of with two days of physical work. We helped a church to build a new church. We had to get big stones and rocks for the building of the church. The first day I think we were just to many for the work, so the second day we split up into two groups.
I am going to miss this place, Thailand was so much fun and so beautiful, but also the hottest place ever.
JORDAN When I saw the new Journey 'Ancient Paths' that will be going to Jordan it stirred my heart to consider doing the Journey. About a year ago the Holy Spirit inspired me to go and help the Syrian Refugees. He said that He will make a way...and He did. I was surprised when I remembered the word and realised that He actually made it happen. THE CHURCH We arrived in Jordan at the beginning of April. A church in Mafraq that serves the Syrian Refugees hosted us. They give out necessary things like blankets, pillows, matrasses, gas stoves and...
"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...
One Week! Exactly a week from today I'll be on a plane to South Africa! I am amazed at how the Lord has brought me to this point of embarking on another adventure around the world!
Traveling through Africa was quit an experience. Traveling through China was in some ways similar and in others very distinct.
