Such a long time since I last sent a decent update. Things has been busy and a bit unsettled so it has been difficult to send an update. Since a few days ago things are a bit more know so I will give it a try now. The team One of the things that were a bit unsettled was the team, as in who would be going on the journey. We are 7 members in the team that is going to be travelling this year, 2 guys and 5 girls. We are also leaving behind 2 girls that are not...

  After our Machu Picchu adventure we got on a bus to the Bolivian border from Cusco on a Monday evening at 22:30. We reached the Bolivian border the next morning with anticipation and hopes of seeing the jungle again but...God had other plans. About an hour later we found ourselves on the pavement back in Peru as we couldn't get into Bolivia. In a rush of praying and thinking and trusting we unloaded our bags from the bus and waved it goodbye as it entered Bolivia without us. So there we were...apparently Peru wanted some more pictures with us....

We all know the very famous song; "It's more than a feeling"  and we've all joined in singing it at the top of our lungs playing some serious electric air guitar. But after 4 and a half weeks of being in training at Global Expeditions, these words have developed significant new meaning to me...   After a very emotionally active day, we had a nice worship set up for us, fairy lights and all the necessary things to create a nice "vibe". And I loved it, ybecause I was excited for wanting to feel God's presence because the right atmosfeer...

  Hi, I can’t believe the time is here and exams is over! Now in about 2 days we will fly out to Hong Kong to start our trip.

I look out the airplane window, and way down I see the country of India. From up here it still is only patches of different shades of brown, patches I've never seen before. But somehow I still write in my Bible, next to Isaiah 61, the text received for this country: "FIRST time on airplane to India". How much more are there gonna be ...?

 

Trying to stop the tears from streaming down my cheeks as we said goodbye to miss Erna Jane, I realised what God wanted me to learn during our time in Cayman Islands. For God, nothing is impossible. He gives freely. He blesses abundantly and when He provides, He provides in excess. Our God is an awesome God!

 

Date:  06 April 2009 Place: Nazareth / Tiberias, Israel   Our time here in Israel is almost coming to an end... It was a very special journey for me to learn more of the Old and New Testament. Experiencing and seeing it as described in the Bible. In this time here our group was challenged to learn more about the Persian Empire; while the other two groups looked at the Babylonian and the Assyrian Empires. A person can’t also travel through Israel without looking back on Jesus's life stories by following the footsteps of Jesus, physically throughout the country. There...

Peru has really been a place of seeing God, how he works and just so much more of him. Even the first night we set foot on the Peru side of the amazon river at Santa Rosa, it felt like nothing I had experienced before. A small pirate like town where I found myelf struck by the poverty and state of the surroundings. Rubbish floating past and everything dirty- Where was God in this situation? Then after getting our passports stamped in the most miraclulous way we went out to explore. In coming across a small little church with lights...

We woke up this morning early, bright eyed and bushy tailed, all ready for a hard day of work. And then we heard it....

On the first day of training I found myself smack dab in the middle of it...people were going to tell their testimonies. Imagine that...I was far from ready to speak. I just wanted to sleep. And sleep I did, through people’s testimonies I dozed off a little but I managed to catch them all. I realized through listening to different testimonies that we are all on different obstacle courses that God celebrates daily and as He is making us into His image....   We are all walking our paths and running our individual races, but for such a time as...
