Seeing the beauty in the brokenness

Nepal a country that will see me again. As I walked out of the airport to the mini bus that is taking us to the church where we stayed, I had peace in my heart and knew it is a place that I would love to come back to one day. Nepal, devastated by earthquakes, but still you can see God working here. People hungry for prayer, healing and worship. A country that God used us through healing, prayer and worship. A place where our light could just shine brighter for Him. A place of many testimonies and messages. A...

Lights, Camera, Action!

Lights, Camera, Action!
  I don't really know how to start or how to write this blog. How does one explain 6 countries done living by faith for one month just a few sentences... I'll try my best to just give you a glimpse of my experiences of our  time in central America. It's been a complete faith journey the whole time. Have you ever wondered how life would be like if you put your trust 100% in God?    Well... He might just ask you to pioneer Mexico and do your Luke 10 from Cancun, Mexico to Guatemala for 10days. But that...

Building walls or windmills

When the winds of change blow, some build walls and others build windmills -Chinese proverb- Before we became a family we were all individuals living our separate lives. So in our forming a family our lives intertwined...but we all still came from different backgrounds. We have different ways of doing things, different ways of handling situations and different ideas. So when the winds of change blew we as a team were challenged. We all handled these winds differently. For some the winds of change brought about immediate adaption and they started building a windmill, for others the change was more...

Works that just might “Cost your life!”

Have you ever felt yourself feeling empty, after doing a religious deed ?This is because, in the end it did not contribute to the KINGDOM of God, and it was only for your own personal gain, or it was only to make you feel as if you have done something for God....

AWAY WE GO! to Thailand

AWAY WE GO!  to Thailand
 Coming from India to beautiful, green and clean Thailand was nuts.     This is the blog for my half of the team: Marykee, Annami, Ruan, Ryno and I. We went to Phuket.  For the past 2 weeks we’ve been working at painting a local school , while staying in the classroom.  Learning to serve with integrity and unity – just like Jesus. Starting  our days off by the exegesis of  Philippians has been awesome.   Discovering deeper truths about Jesus and who we are in Him.   So good dude* And some evenings we caught a ride to the...

A Night in Tanzania

Our journey started in the airport at Johannesburg as the last of us said their final goodbyes to family and friends. The feelings racing through our hearts were of a variety—anxious for the unknown and excited for what is to come as we follow in obedience of God’s calling for our lives. Our first stop was Tanzania. Our time in Tanzania was supposed to be just a pass through, however our team felt the need to stay a night. A day of sweltering heat, broken toilets and interesting smells, we decided to do some street ministry after getting to a...

God is the hope to the hopeless...

During my stay in Jordan I have developed a new outlook on life.  As we disembarked, the name of this capital city of Jordan came to mind.  Amman means steadfastness and perseverance.  Now, looking back on our mission in Jordan, I realise that the people here are blessed with these two noble qualities.    We were welcomed with open arms by our hosts, their friendly hospitality made us feel completely at home. I felt humbled by these people who so unselfishly deliver humanitarian assistance to the hundreds of refugees fleeing from the war-torn Syria.  What a heart-rendering experience to see...

no boundaries

E16CB04F-8F09-452A-9160-2D4572A3DF5B
I used to see walls enclosed around me, but now I am living with no boundaries. I am like an unbridled horse- FREE to run the distance. I can’t even see the end of the field- just the sun on my back and wildflowers under my feet. The farther I run the less afraid I become. I have stepped into FREE COUNTRY, where the territory never ends because it was created and is governed by the True King. The walls around me I had made myself- their names were doubt, shame, fear, and useless. My walls were torn down and...
