3 busses, 5 lifts and 5 taxi's!!!!....
Orange Team is Go - Go - Go!!!!

Praise the Lord! He provided LITERALLY every step of the way.
We never had to stress or to something extra-ordinary, but just believe!!!
God works best when we are weak, and that was our story the whole trip.

Monday night we heard that we had our first challenge, to get to Zambia before Friday the 25 January.

God is all we long for....   During the month of June we spent the majority of our time in Costa Rica and in Guatemala.  Because of the awesome climate, culture, landscape and people that exist in these regions it has become a huge tourist attraction point.   The Spirit sent us out one day to evangelise to the tourists in the streets of Panajachel – Guatemala.  Another team member and I decided to do a survey on the tourists and ask them a few questions concerning their travels.  We believed that this would help us understand way people travel...

We spend ten days in Suriname, the second smallest country in South America with a population estimate of 500 000. The best part is they speak Dutch!    We stayed at a missionary school called Hebron Zendelingskool and fell in with their day to day program.    The school teaches self discipline in ways I have never experienced before and during the beginning of our visit I struggled to adapt to this kind of lifestyle, since I have been so used to doing things on my own time and in my own manner.   What really amazed me is the...

A Syrian Cry   Hearts that are broken Hands that are weak. Strength quickly fading,  Emotions running deep Cuts raw and bleeding. Families torn apart Minds trapped in captivity. Darkness fills weary eyes A country robbed.  Stolen From beneath stumbeling feet. Children desiring laughter, Mothers desiring peace. Men given over to failure, Fathers admiting defeat.   A voice echoes in the stillness A cry resounds in the deep Hands and feet are comming They are running fast and free.  To shine light into darkness, Hope into defeat. To remove the truth hindering vail. Let love destroy strongholds  And set captives...

     

I dont know if I still have the right to write on this blog, but I surely would love to share my short story. In January when I started global challenge, I realised how little I know God.  I got so afraid, and started to fear seeing myself clearly.  Incompetent, not spiritual enough, and ugly.  In order to protect myself I decided to find fault with my fellow brothers and sisters.....and the whole system I found myself in. I decided that suffering is unnecessary, that everything was just peer pressure.  I decided that Im wasting my time and money.  That...

The race is on! We started on Bangkok airport at 10:00 am Sunday morning...

Read this out loud: "Mi jus waan do God work"
Guess what, you just spoke patois! That's the language of the Jamaicans. They also say things like "wha guaan?" which means what's going on? I really love the language; in fact, I love almost everything Jamaican.

 

My name is Louis, meaning warrior. I am a warrior, submitting to the Authority of the Triune God, God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe the Word of God, the Bible, to be the infallible truth. I submit to being led by the Spirit of God, and to be sensitive to the movement of the Holy Spirit.  I will be on the Explore Africa journey this year. Our team is looking forward to see what the Lord will be doing in Africa. I will keep you posted during our journey.

When one hears that someone is training for an adventure mission trip they usually have no idea what type of training it is. One person asked me if training included an obstacle course or something...you should have seen my face...I cannot imagine myself actually making it through an obstacle course. It would be a lot like ....like....like....well like something no one wants to see basically. I am not the most fit person in the world at all. So I quickly expelled that thought from my mind and decided that the best course of action was to expect the unexpected.  ...
