I was born on 3 February 1984, Pretoria South Africa. My name is Liza Kruger, and this is my story of how I can testify that God's grace is sufficient for me.  He is all I need. And He is more than enough. Usually people end with the moral of their story, but I want to start with mine. As this is what defines my life. As I look back at my 24 years of life, I can see one thing only, GRACE! I am one of those people who can testify that even though I let go of God, many...

Our first challenge is upon us: Northbound is going to Cape Town!! After a massively thought-provoking seminar on "the making of a leader" by Floydd McClung over the weekend, we're leaving to the Cape to sort out our Visas for the European leg of our journey. We'll be visiting the Russian and Greek embassies. We trust in the Lord that He will open the right doors for us at the right time! So pray with us for open borders and soft hearts.  “I will go before you  and level the exalted places,  I will break in pieces the doors of...

Waves... Waves are amazing; they are powerful, calming, beautiful, majestic! The sound of waves reaching the shore has a holiday feel to it, it calms the heart and feeds the soul. At the same time the haunting sound or crashing waves reminds of scary movies and lost lives. The ocean is powerful and awesome! Covering more than two thirds of the land it is much more than we could ever imagine and even today in our technologically advanced era surprises with secrets and mystery...

Jamaica! Yeah mon! (Hey/ yes/ great/ bye) Wagaan? (What is going on/ howsit) Everytin idle.. (everything is good) Phathwa is the local language developed from english by the slaves. Jamaica is one of the countries I have dreamed about coming to since I watched good old cool runnings back in the day! Off to a rough start with chickv fever I slept for 4 days nursed back to health on a dusty mattress on the floor of a church in one of the most dangerous suburbs in Kingston Jamaica. As the theme song of cool runnings goes... rise above it......

If there's one thing a hate it's injustice. Our world is packed full of it. But there is one continent that is known for it: Africa.   On our beautiful continent you can pick and choose. Which cause do you want to champion? Which problem do you want to face? Which injustice do you want to be redeemed? It's all here. Every single one.   If you hate forests being destroyed, this is the right place. If you can't bear the afflictions of animals, come to Africa. But the one that trumps all is the injustice towards human beings.  ...

After almost a month in Cuba, which was AH-MAZING!!!!!, it's hard to pick out only a few words for even just a glimpse to be experienced, for words only describe a moment in black in white where the colours are crucial for envision. As the first pages of this chapter were reflected through our lives, it is evitable that our Lord's hand is at work in every single person's life on earth as His plan was and will always be the nations. For our prayers are showered over the city of Santiago and the hearts of our family and friends'...

With much anticipation we arrived in the all famous country of Jamaica,where Bob Marley and reggae was born,country of my childhood heroes like Asafa powell and Usain Bolt. "Ya Man, wagam?" are all to common to us now. Rhastas and weed everywhere you look. Everything I thought Jamaica would be came true. We had the previledge of sharing the good news to locals on the basketball fields,singing songs to kids at school,even giving the homeless a close shave,feeding them,dressing them,cutting toe nails ect. We soon found out that this beautiful country also has a dark history with great sorrow within...

I signed in and was accepted into this journey with nothing of the required R90,000 needed for the year.In a sence that is where the journey started and where God started to break open my faith in Him. After a few months of mixed emotions like stress,doubt,fear and a lot of prayer the first payment came in one night from a total stranger of R50,000...I cried From there money came in from anonymous donors, other payments from peoples whos names I could see but did not know,from the most unlikely of acquaintances,payments with only scripture references attached,from loving family and...

Our New Zealand challenge was somewhat of a disaster...as you could clearly see on the scoreboard!! This will be my (Christine's) account as to why it can be classified as disasterous. At the beginning of the year the orange team started every challenge off with a prayer. We dedicated the whole day to the Lord and ensured that everything we do will bring glory to the Lord. Due to the fact that we finished last in the India challenge, the team was more concerned about the scoreboard and less about pleasing God. So here follows the Orange team's fool proof...
