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...

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 journey of grace started in Russia and by the end of Cuba while sitting in a coffee shop drinking coffee that tastes like sea water and being told to keep quiet by the waitress because we laughing too loud, God concluded the first part of an unending series of His grace. A friend asked me what grace means to me... Well everyone says, 'by the grace of God I can be here today,' then obviously it's the power of God that allows good things to happen to us and through us... Clearly I didn't understand, so I asked God to...
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. At the moment we are staying at Alabanza for training and getting to know everyone. When it was exams the time flew pass so fast and now the time is going past so slowly. But I am so excited and can’t wait any more!!! I just want to get on the plane and start my journey with God and to learn and spread the Word! I’ll be honest, I...
The Warm Heart of Africa... Leaving from Kenya to go to Malawi to now Zambia, was a journey of going through the past to the present, and then seeing the future. Malawi is truly the warm heart of Africa. The people are gentle, welcoming, and the very atmosphere of the country has actual warmth that fills your heart. Entering the country felt like breathing fresh air. Malawi, at its foundation, is a Christian nation with the majority of its population attending a church each Sunday. I love Malawi very much but my heart aches for this country. This structure of...
There is something liberating about sitting on a rooftop of a hostel in Istanbul, looking over the chaotic puzzle of buildings and busy people with Amanda Cook's 'Wonder' pumping through my earphones. What a time to be alive. Staying only a stones-throw away from the Blue Mosque, waking up with a view of the Ayasofia every morning and walking through Istanbul in my identity in Christ - literally walking around with our identity scribbled on a piece of paper stuffed in our shoes - I was constantly reminded by Him that I was called for such a time as this....
Thailand has been fantastic! Our team has developed so much in terms of unity as well as individually in the Spirit. How can one not have increasing faith after being sustained by God for more than a week. All of our Luke 10 experiences were majestic and to the purest form, a Father spoiling His children. Going into a stage where we started asking questions about our futures, this new faith He has given us tends to the fears and uncertainties about our lives after Global. God is good and sovereign. He has proven Himself faithful beyond measure and through...
By Elizma - 27 March 2008
Surely these past days we didn't have as much adventures and stories to tell than last week. But these days were granted to process the stuff I've been challenged with recently; the biggest of which is definitely the life of Peter, and how it's speaking to me.
Mauritania truly turned out to be a land of contradiction. Friendly officials at the border, 5 star welcome at the youth hostel and even breakfast in a Taxi! We over landed from Western Sahara, through Mauritania, to Senegal. We spent two nights in Mauritania. The short time in Mauritania was yet another glimpse of God's faithfulness to us. He sent people ahead of us and really provided for us. We experienced incredible favour and protection in this country. We were greatly blessed with friendly and effecient (as far as effeciency gets in Africa) officials at the border....a very...
The last couple of days have been one big blessing from our heavenly Father....the people He chose to bless us with.......a normal Thai family.
So today work Your way started travelling to Thailand! We split up into 2groups, Me (Bernard), Henro & Angelo was in one group. De Necker, Philip, Welman & Freddy was in the other group! Angelo, Henro and Ber had a wonderful time. God blessed us so much! We had about 3 lifts then we reached our destination! Our first lift was a army truck, this was an great experience for our team. Our seccond lift we got was in a huge truck. Henro sat in front with the driver and Angelo and I sat on the bed inside the...
