Our time in Gods country was amazing, there's really not enough words to describe it. Doesn't matter if you gave your hole heart, here you receive so much more.. I guess that's the thing about Jesus, about grace. It's hard to choose a highlight from 19 awesome days, but between all the amazing tourist stuff, and seeing the bible coming alive, one of the craziest moments for me was at a bus station, when a soldier of Israel, dropped his gun, and picked my guitar, together we played a song that speaks about peace, and people all around stopped to...

Ready for a high impact, short term, adventure of a life time?   Then join the India Impact expedition from the 3 rd to the 21 st of December 2011.   On this expedition you will travel to the legendary and well known orphanage in Kota in the Rajastan province.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross,scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne  of God ...[Hebrews 12:2]

 

So we have finally landed at our first destination! Istanbul! So we are sitting and our accommodation team went to find a place to stay :D they're first challenge seems to be more tough than we thought. But the first experience is unexplainable, you try to talk to the people and try to find out some information and they don't understand you that good and only one thing comes to mind, WHAT A PRIVILEGE. So I give thanks to God for every moment and every moment to come. And so as nightfall came closer we had to find a place to stay...

It feels out of place to be halfway across the world in South America and then be greeted in Dutch when you sit down for breakfast. Glimpses of Afrikaans catching your ear while the students of the bible school chat makes this almost feel like home. Suriname has less than 500 000 people and is mostly thick uninhabited jungle. The city of Paramaribo is where most of the action happens. We found ourselves 22.5 km down Marten Luther King Highway outside this capital at Hebron Zendelingen School. The school is a training base for missionaries who want to go out...

After getting out of our comfort zones in the North, we could not wait for some relaxing beach vibes in Phuket. Everyone knows about the island’s amazing beauty and vibrant culture making it an ideal all year round holiday destination. This of course was not our focus and we were excited to be serving our new host: Roeline Muller (fellow South African) who is ‘not a missionary, only a Christian worker’. This amazing woman has started a NGO called Asia Center Foundation that provides education and support to both children and parents from lower social-economic backgrounds in Phuket. This people...

I've recently been given the opportunity to enter the households of several Syrian refugees. This concept might seem frightening or uncomfortable to most, but some men and women actually travel from all across the world to come and play a part in this global crisis. I've even had the privilege of getting to know a few volunteers whom have commited themselves to serving these households on a more permanent base. For myself, however, it's been an encounter with the reality of the situation in the Middle East - and not just the pictures we watch on a screen from the...
