It all started this morning very early with a knock on the door at 6 o'clock.  It's a CHALLENGE they said.  So here we are Lime team at the Petronas Towers waiting to get a ticket to go up the towers. Here you see the towers   Johan enjoying a Malaysian Delicacy.  It's going really well at this point so we might need to keep this short because we need to finish the rest of the tasks. Just to give you an idea of how the Limers do it.  Ice cream (LIME) at the bird park.  Have to RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S...

Dawid was so right in the beginning of training when he said, “I hate India.  I love India.  I will never go back there.  If someone gives me a ticket today, I’ll be on that flight tomorrow.”  India is a country of contrasts and because you never know which slice of the pie you might get, a place where Global Challengers meet God and meet themselves. As I travelled to India with the team, I had this sinking feeling.  That feeling of, you know what’s coming, you do not want it, but you can’t avoid it.  Probably what Jesus felt...

As promised  few pics to tie up Cambodia...                  A land that stole the hearts of many, a nation that knows love no other where the smiles of people light up the darkest of moments... A few things to remember... - the tuk tuks (the hours we spent in them) - the mangos - tannie Alta's (and all her ministry work) - the children and how they crept into your heart!!!              JESUS LOVES YOU...

Greetings from Colombia, the home of great coffee, cocaine, and kidnapping guerrillas! We have arrived safe and sound, though some of our teammates had a detour through Peru and Ecuador. After a safety briefing we made way from Bogota to a nearby town of Fusagasuga.

Before we knew what happened, Ettienne, Nicholas and me got the surprise of our life…  We were on a different flight than the rest of the team and would have had to wait on Madrid airport for about 20 hours before boarding our flight to Portugal.  Anticipating the same procedures as the previous time, we prepared ourselves for the “duty free shopping area” (almost like no man’s land on the airport) and getting some sleep.  But this time things were a bit different and before we understood what’s going on we were at border control and got a stamp in...

Hi Lesotho Challengers   Hope you all are up for a great time!   Here are the practical information for our Trip to Lesotho.   Please make sure that your full amount is paid into our account by Wednesday 24 September.   The team that is driving up from Jeffreys will leave at 4 o’clock early morning from the Deo Doxa Church.    Please do not be late!     Please do not pack a huge suitcase, but rather a medium sized bag.    Our space is limited!   We will meet the rest of the team at 4 in...

Hey... Mannn I've been putting off writing this blog for a while, just because I've no clue how to go about this. So i'm just going to introduce myself...:) My name is Gehta van Tonder. I live in White River Mpumalanga and I finished school this year. 'Nuff bout that, the moment I heard of Global Challenge I could feel the Holy Spirit prompting me to go. I know next year isn't going to be easy (hence the word 'challenge':D), but I have decided to follow Jesus with everything in me, no turning back. I want Jesus to be proud...

I cried out loud deep inside my soul "Lord, take me out of Egypt!" as if I had been wandering in the desert like the children of Israel that Moses led. As I was sitting by the window on that plane when we were just about to touch Tunis, I felt, maybe, the same way that Moses did when he was shown the land of milk and honey and was told that he will not reach. Right before departure from Cairo Airport, check-in officials told me that I needed to be in possession of a Visa for Tunisia which I...
