I'm being reinvented. Trying new things. Beliefs are broken. New ones are being formed. It's not an easy process. The values Jesus taught are treasures. They bring life. They bring meaning to a world in need. They make our world a better place. The values will change humanity and the way we are living. Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Love your neighbor. Take care of the widows. Honor your parents. Don't kill someone. Don't take stuff that don't belong to you. Treat others the way you want to be treated. And then in the end...do this all out of...

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 ...

Friday and Saturday was great! On Friday morning we played with the kids at the Sheng Kung Hui Primary School where we stay. We helped the other teams as they presented kids, even from 3 years old, with the Easter story and, as you can imagine, played a lot!
When the bell rings, they run ... NOTHING like Nambia!!
At noon, six of us went to visit some Psychology students at the University of Macau. Of course, I were first to go, and we had a real fun time and a wonderful lunch!
Gertina, Tjaart, Jana, Rey and Mari in a relaxed mood.
[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIkFGOQoseQ 400x400] Beeeee beeeee eeeeeeeeee is the usual language that sheep use. I can guarantee you I haven't heard another sound while I was working along side with Darko somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Australia, the motherland of sheep you could say. What a privilege it was, getting up in the morning at 6, driving half an hour to the paddocks unloading this unloading that, fill that , pump that, put that there, get out of there, tag him, run after him... beee beeee after two weeks, we almost sounded like sheep. But there was something more than just working. Seeing sunrise...
Wow, i don't even know where to start. The past few months have been a roller coaster of emotions and happenings and blessings...God has been so good to me. During out time in Hungary ,some of our parents came to visit and my parents were among them. I have been looking forward to this date since May and finally it has arrived! I went to go pick up my parents at the airport and we had a wonderful reunion. It was really great to spend some time with my family and be able to share with them my experiences and...
When we arrived in Kiminini (Kenya) at our host, we had been welcomed by his family and his extended spiritual family too: Two Mamas with the biggest hearts and smiles I’ve ever seen. They invited us to come to the village at the foothills of Mt. Elgon just across the border in Uganda, to come strengthen and encourage some more family members. And we did.

My Beloved Shepherd, my Lord and I - Songs Of Solomon
(Part One)
You know those conversations we have with God; sitting at His feet, listening at His voice...
My highlight in China was a conversation I had with God, reflecting upon myself through His eyes, and also reflecting on His Bride, His Body, and His Church through His eyes!!

It rained today, the type of weather that screams 'stay in bed'. I didn't feel like going to the camp but I promised you I would, so I went. I had lots of plans for new games we could play and I also promised to still braid your hair. But you weren't there... I walked through the camp, expecting you to come running, screaming my name as you always did, but you didn't. There were no running footsteps, no waving hair and bright smile. No one eagerly grabbing my hand and saying 'come, come' to play a new game....
We do not get to choose how we start out in life. We do not get to choose the day we are born or the family we are born into, what we are named at birth, what country we are born in, and we do not get to choose our ancestry. -Konyenikan Hidden World was in Costa Rica the past 10 days. We were hosted by Teen Challenge. It is an organisation that focuses on rehabilitation for drug addicts and prostitution. It has intensive Bible courses and support. Teen Challenge is spread over the world. God told the organisation in...
