Almost like home. We are leaving. Again. We have been living in Bosnia and Herzegovina for 6 weeks now. Thursday, 21 August we will fly to Turkey. Mostar is a beautiful city that had to suffer in a war 20 years ago. Today I can, with joy, say that we had the opportunity to experience the coffee culture and the lovely people of BiH. We worked and played hard. NoviMost is an organisation started by missionaries. The main purpose is to encourage and love the youth of BiH. They have several “stations” in Bosnia and Herzegovina and we could spend...

On the fourth of march we arrived in Istanbul, a city with about 10 million people. By God's grace we found a very cheap hostel right in the centre between the famous mosque "Hagia sophia" and the sea (Bosporus)! Already at this place we experienced the hospitableness and kindness of turkish people, just amazing! A week later we arrived in Izmir. For the first time in my life I saw Christian believers worshipping God in an underground church! An incredible experience! So many different nations, but all having the same father! A completely filled church! A lot of joy!! Our...

Australia was a different type of good for our team. We were separated a whole lot and had a lot of new influential additions to the team, so I would say we grew a lot, individually.    We all saw how one could be a witness in the work place and how Jesus type behavior, inspires us to become more like Jesus. The Willersdorfs invested in our lives and made themselves vulnerable so that we could totally become part of their family. And family we were. We were treated like kings!   Because we weren't really together through the week...

Somewhere close to nowhere a river bends and flows freely through a remote dryland. It’s a place where the hot summer sun makes the earth pay its tax in the form of water in exchange for its energy and promise of growth. It’s a place where insects rule the ground and the call of the fish eagle sounds.   It’s a place where God uses the dusk air as a canvas to paint a new masterpiece every day.   With every sunset comes a new promise of a cool night. It’s a place where the stars rule the night sky...

Normal 0 false false false EN-ZA X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 We had a tremendously blessed time during our stay at a Convent in Bethlehem. The Nuns seemed almost as if they were angelic mothers sent from heaven to treat and care for us. They welcomed our weary travellers with a delicious warm home cooked meal , treated us daily with a surprise supply of freshly baked bread, eggs, vegetables and cooked dishes etc. as well as transformed our dirty laundry into sparkly and fresh scented garments. We truly felt like they were our heavenly mothers caring and looking after us. I...

 

The last 2 weeks have been overflowing  with  fun.  Many hours have been gladly sacrificed to paint and work for God’s kingdom. Numerous moments made perfect with laughter and joy. We went to the Transkei ; we saw beautiful sights ;and we conquered a lot of ground for in and in the name of Jesus Christ

 

    Guyana, it's jungles stretch out as far as you can see in every direction. The land of many waters is true to its name, from the rivers and creeks flowing in every direction, to the lakes hidden deep in the Amazon Jungle. It really is a beautiful country. The church where we were located is a part of "Full Gospel Fellowship" which has a collection of over 150 churches across Guyana. We were privileged to have the never ending jungle stretch out behind our house, and a smooth, very skate-able roads to the front. The community where we...

Please note that this blog was created on 28 July 2017 “I see those tears in your eyes… My love there’s no need to hide, just let me love you when your heart is tired!” song lyrics from Alan Walkers new song called Tired. These lyrics played a important role in my life this past few weeks ( 28 Jul. 2017 ) and (truth be told) helped me realize what Dad is trying to tell me. So with these lyrics in your mind and the fact that God will never let you down enjoy number 11 and I pray that...

It's not always every team that seems to hit the ground running when they first set out, and some of us seem to be the only race horse still stuck behind the gates while the others are well on their way, but, its not how we start but if we finish strong. Finally in greece now and it is amazing! We are at the best backpackers and eating the best food. We are facing challenges head on and bonding more and more as a team. We're off to see some great sights now and enjoy this blessing from above. I...
